And if the people overthrew Hitler in 1933 would it be because they’re sore losers who lost? He went into power democratically elected. I think hindsight shows us that somebody should of tried to overthrow him to avoid all the horrible deaths caused by him.
Make no mistake. These christofascists will round up people like me. I’m a visibly queer woman and I can’t keep my mouth shut or try to feminize myself more to blend in. They’re gonna give me no choice but to defend myself. After reviewing history, I vote offense rather than defense this time around.
By that same logic, should president Truman have been ousted after WWII? Should the Canadian trucker convoy have torched parliament? Should all governments decend into chaos as soon as any group doesn’t like them?
I’m not saying this specific turn of events shouldn’t be resisted, I’m looking for better logic, a reason why the rules shouldn’t apply here. Something like the overt and immediate threat to people’s wellbeing and freedom. It doesn’t matter how good or bad this administration is going to be according to an individual, it matters that they’re going to cause a lot of unnecessary harm to a lot of people. Subjective opinions are how we got here.
Maybe we’re past the point of that mattering, perhaps a critical mass of people just want to cause harm and a lot of fucked up shit is inevitable, but I do hope to keep a sense of ethics and justice to rebuild when the fight for existence ends. I don’t want to become the uncritical extremists we’re fighting against.

Pushing people to the brink of homelessness is violence. We’re overdue to fight back.
Agreed. While I realize I am making some fuss about being right, being left and able to try again is far more important.
