I will preface this by saying I understand that I am more radical, revolutionary, and extreme of a leftist than most. Despite that, I still ask that you actually engage with this as I'm asking in good faith.
When is enough enough? We have elected a fascist into the highest office and handed the keys to him and his friends. Is now not the time to actually get organized, involved, and armed? In my opinion, the time for peaceful, democratic means of avoiding fascism was before the election. But we have failed to do so, and as such there will soon be a tyrant in power. Are we going to wait until troops are rolling down the street to stage any form of resistance, because by then it's far too late. Now I want to be clear that I am not advocating for random acts of violence or an insurrection like January 6th. But is this not a point of radicalization? Is this not where we start organizing within our communities and getting involved in mutual aid and resistance? How much more do we need before people are actually ready to stand, fight, and maybe even die to avoid continuing down the path that we are on? Fascism is not on the horizon, it is here. Are we really to do nothing about it as a society except lay down and accept our fate? Because that doesn't jive with me. That makes absolutely no sense to me.
ETA: To the people responding, I will admit that I was heated and frustrated when writing this post. Having had time to cool off, reflect, and get some differing viewpoints my stance has changed to focus more on what needs to happen first and what's practical. You may have seen that in my responses. That being said, I don't disagree with what I said here, and I'm still frustrated we're at this point at all. I've linked a comment though that elaborates upon what I actually want to see done though, which is a lot more reasonable and is still inline with this post.
Im a Trump supporter. Im down for a good faith conversation. I'll start with this. How is Trump a fascist? If he was wouldn't he need to be removed forcibly last time? I have never understand the fear towards Trump. He says some dumb shit but a fascist? I don't see it.
Trump lies about accomplishments but is honest about what he says he wants. And what he has said are things like "wanting to be a dictator 'for a day'" and wanting to use the National Guard or the military to go after political opponents. He has said that those on the other side are the scum of our country and need to be removed. He has said he wants to deport legal and illegals from the country. It is easy to verify these statements.
When Trump says he wants to do fascist things, I believe him.
