      I’m not condoning violence but I’m kind of surprised no one have yet taken an RPG shot at elons jet or something. Even blowing it up empty would send a message I guess.

      I mean someone actually shot at drump so it can’t be that complicated.

        • Firstly it wasn’t an RPG. I don’t think you realize how complicated it is to get your hands on a functional RPG. Not to mention, if you want to blow up Musk’s aircraft, you probably want a portable surface-to-air missile like a Stinger. Good luck getting one of those too.
        • Secondly the dude missed Trump, so it is a bit complicated. You need some sniper skills he obviously didn’t have, and a lot of preparation - and probably a good dose of luck - to set yourself up for a shot and not get caught.
        • Thirdly, the dude was wasted. So anybody thinking about fixing America’s problems that way should feel ready to lay down his life for the cause. People usually talk the talk but rarely walk that kind of walk.

          “and not get caught”

          At some point some US citizens will have to choose how they plan to die exactly, because doing nothing in the face of Nazis will lead to them dying anyway.

    Halt excess spending. Don’t spend a single dime more than necessary to survive. You are gonna need every penny in your bank account if you hope to make it the next 2 years.

    Oh, and don’t count on democratic politicians to do anything about anything. They fear progressives more than a fascist Trump regime because they are all in the pockets of those tech billionaires.

    If you’re a person with brown skin, I hope and pray for you and am donating what little I can to organizations who are trying to protect immigrants and non-whites.

        While I don’t expect more of this person, going the Batman/Jesus route would be helpful.

        Edit: Although, I prefer the V for Vendetta method where we all anonymously fight back and take back over.

      Assuming Luigi Mangione is responsible for the murder of that CEO strips him of his presumption of innocence. Maybe refer to the gunman from the video as “The Adjuster” like people did before Mangione was accused until the trial is complete.

        But if he’s not the shooter, what if the real Adjuster isn’t as hot as Luigi?

        (I’m just kidding though, I totally agree with you)

    Years ago people laughed at me for not having Facebook (and never having had it in the first place). Who’s laughing now? Not me, nor any other consumers. But hey, we tried…

    An individual can do very little.

    Which is why we organize, strike, and practice solidarity, together.

    If you want to help, look for left movements in your area. Food Not Bombs for example.
