I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil. How can they win back the country? Is it too late?

    I’m not usually known for preaching peace, as I genuinely do not believe there is a peaceful way to defeat fascism. But, now is not the time to kill anyone. Violence at this moment would be ineffective and unfocused.

    For the next four years (assuming Trump is not wholesale slaughtering us) becoming a politician would be a better use of your time than engaging in violence. For the next year or two, civic engagement (or political subversion) will have more effect than physically fighting

    However, if widespread murder of the innocent begins taking place, please disregard my peaceful message.

      We’re a year deep into the slaughter of Gaza.

        Gaza is about to be erased. Their genocide will be accelerated and completed in Trump’s first year.

        The local genocides here in the U.S. are going to happen over a longer period of time and may not begin right away. When they do begin, though, that is the time for violent resistance, for whatever good it might do.
