How many other things is he not allowed to do, but is doing anyway with permission (either tacit or direct) from congress and the courts? You think this will stop him?
Words on a piece of paper only have power if people uphold them. No one's upholding them.
One of our help desk reps spent 45 minutes on the phone helping someone set up their authenticator app for MFA. It's a simple install of an app and linking it to your account. If the user listens and does as instructed, it takes about 2 and a half minutes. If they don't? 45 minutes.
The rep took their break and worked on something else for a while to recover.
it’s incredibly hard for the people to replace their leadership outside of election season
What have you tried? Have you written any letters? Protested? Marched? Gone on strike?
There's a whole lot of defeatism in your comment and I'm getting major "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas" vibes.
That's true, the spellings are very different.
But otherwise they're all countries ruled by petty men trying to project their power and rob their neighbours of their resources, liberty, and lives.
Come visit us in Canada! It's beautiful here. Better come fast before Trump decides to invade us for our oil and minerals though. I expect it'll be much less beautiful after that, and we won't have as much time to spend with you while waging a guerilla resistance.
Some people prefer multiplayer games.
Congress has already shown they have no power over Trump. They gave away the power to fight him already by going along with everything he's said and done. It's too late for them to try and rein him in at this point.
A generation from now, they'll ask you why you didn't help stop fascism and your reply with be "well grandson, it was a 3 hour drive"? That's your excuse?
This isn't going to be easy! You can't fight fascism from your couch. You have to do something to stop it. And right now all it'll take is driving 3 hours. That won't always be the case as they solidify their power and crack down on dissent. And you'll sit there as the brownshirts drag people out of their homes and wish all you had to do was drive 3 hours.
And still the American populace just sits there waiting for someone else to save them.
I can proudly say I never wear my stupid seat belt and for 20 years never had an accident! I'm just a better driver!
... see how stupid that sounds?
That's exactly the problem. Vaccines have worked so well that people have forgotten the horrors of the diseases they prevent.
I read an article a while back about a mother who's little girl caught whooping cough. She hadn't vaccinated her, but said that watching her daughter struggling to breathe was the worst thing she'd experienced and wished she had listened and given her the vaccine.
People realize very quickly why vaccines are important, but it's usually by experiencing it firsthand, and unfortunately it's too late by then.
Especially when the first things they do are start taking apart consumer and environmental protections, disband social safety nets, increase taxes (tariffs) on imported goods, attack FEMA, and stop farm subsidies, all of which hurt the working class.
Not only do people still believe the ridiculous lie, they believe it despite the mountain of evidence they don't give a fuck about you.
