“This is part of the fascist playbook to rile up Trump’s die-hard supporters and give them a big distraction in advance of the midterms,” Omar (D-Minn.) wrote in an email distributed by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee
When the regime coups the midterms, I hope everyone is prepared and willing to accordingly respond.
The use of Minneapolis as an example is definitely good for proving it can be done in the U.S. How we manage to do this on a national scale remains to be seen but local/state-by-state strength is possible, at least.
The Minneapolis response really gives me hope. However the hard part will be the national coordination step. We’ll have a few dozen pockets of organized resistance, but this regime will be working overtime to arrest and remove any attempts at national organization.
Nonviolent rebellion—the strategic use of protests, strikes, and similar methods—has paralyzed authoritarian regimes and forced despots from power the world over. It can work in America too.
Yep exactly. No one should be calling for any kind of offensive violence. There are many levers of power to try before that point.
