      Won’t work for dictatorship, that’s obvious. But at the moment America is still a few bad decisions away from this. Although Trump is persistently undermining the judiciary.

      On the other hand, there is an opposition, and I’m wondering, when do they decide to grow themselves balls? Trump can only do what he wants, because they let him.

        The problem is that you Think there is an opposition, when there is not. The Democrats are not the opposition, they are the collaborators, they merely act as if they are against what is happening while actively ensuring Trump can do whatever he wants. They must also be removed, just like we removed the collaborators in France and other countries after we removed the Nazis. There is a reason why the Dems keep telling us to not fight back, to remain peaceful and to not interfere, to keep playing by their rules. They are paid to be the losing side, the “voice of reason” that does nothing to help the people. The only ones who can stop Trump and the fascists in the government are the people.

        “Pacifism is objectively pro-fascist. This is elementary common sense. If you hamper the war effort of one side, you automatically help out that of the other. Nor is there any real way of remaining outside such a war as the present one. In practice, ‘he that is not with me is against me’.” ― George Orwell
