Well, it’s too late. They needed to be not stupid during the last election. Now, Trump will likely just continue his reign of destruction, ignoring opposition, constitution and courts.

There are really only 2 options I think: a) either Dump is a Russian asset, in which case he’s lying, or b) he’s not a Russian asset but simply doesn’t care about the war in Europe and wants the US not spending any money there, and to achieve that he’s also lying. Both cases kind of result in the same, so it doesn’t even matter whether a) or b) is true. He will in both cases just say whatever makes him look the least bad but so that he can still achieve his goal of not supporting Ukraine or Europa in its war against Putin. I’ve never seen such obvious lying, deflection and (in other contexts) corruption from any other administration. Sure, many politicians lie and are corrupt, but here it’s orders of magnitude more extreme.

The key people from the Trump administration and their key supporters need to be jailed for their complete disregard of the constitution and laws. If you can’t stop them your justice system is broken. Any regular citizen doing a tiny percentage of what these criminals do would already be jailed for life. Enforce the laws and the constitution. Put those criminals where they belong.

Well, they massively expanded jail space everywhere, as well as funding for ICE. Of course they’re going after much more people than just “illegal immigrants”. That’s just the low-hanging fruit for them (still anti-constitutional). Fascists will always move on to other groups of people because they constantly need to find new enemies, not realizing that they themselves are the only ones causing actual harm. They will also turn on each other if someone blames another one of “treason” or “aiding the enemy” or whatever. It’s a purely destructive cult-like force and if you can’t stop it it will cost millions of lives over a couple of years.

A pigeon is strictly better than Trump because they don’t destroy the environment, societal and scientific progress, or other people. Now that I’ve thought about it 1 second more, it’s not even a fair comparison. Because Trump existing means active harm and destruction in many areas.

Well, the point in time where it was maybe possible to defend against Trump and his cronies normally or legally is already over. Now they have gathered too much power and also already pretty much operate above the law. The Supreme Court is on their side I guess, not on the side of the constitution or the laws anymore. So it’ll only get worse from now on, and quickly. Only regime-approved media will soon be left over, i.e. media distributing the regime’s propaganda even further. And they will soon throw all of their opponents into concentration camps, not just “illegal immigrants”. That’s just the low-hanging fruit they needed for initially starting building concentration camps and expanding other jail space and their ICE army massively. Technically they would only need jail space for themselves and all supporters of this fascist regime, but they will jail all others they can get their hands on instead.

You will have an actual fight on your hands if you want to revert all this. Either just from the inside, or both from the inside and the outside once they start waging war on former allies like Canada or Denmark (Greenland). You should probably create local communities of people who are ready to help each other vs. ICE raids. Create logistical and resource problems for them. Make it hard and costly for them to destroy people’s lives. If you let them kidnap too many people, you will not have enough people for resistance anymore.

Yes, but that somehow doesn’t change anything ever. They do horrible thing A, world is shocked about A, then they do horrible thing B, world is shocked about A+B, then they do horrible thing C, world is shocked about B+C (A has already been forgotten by that point). And so on. We don’t really have proper checks & balances in place against malicious politicians with too much power and too many loyalists in key positions. So they can do whatever and get away with a ton. I mean I thought there should be checks and balances working to correct this in any modern democracy but then again checks & balances also fail regularly in other areas, e.g. in anti-corruption or in pro data protection. Everything’s conveniently broken in some way and can be exploited. The key people from the Trump administration and/or Heritage Foundation should already be behind bars for lifetime.
