There are a lot of illegal things you can do, and a lot of things republican supporters openly do that involve violence. I’m not going to openly implicate myself but use your imagination.
We still have, right now, completely un-used tools at our disposal, such as unionizing en masse and deploying a general strike, which is insanely powerful (capable of bringing a nation to its knees if done widely enough), while being far less dangerous and more appealing to the general populace than any other means.
Unionization en mass and a general strike are just simply not realistic goals in the current political and social climate in the US. And that half assed attempt at organization at that level is now going to get my country invaded.
You know what else didn’t seem like reasonable goals in the current political climate? Dissolving USDA and global boycotts, resulting in absolutely tanking Tesla stock. Things change.
Organizing can make the change necessary to overcome usamerican fascism. Giving up and relying on the status quo will allow your “democracy” to die in silence.
I’m not saying don’t do those things. Quite the opposite. I just don’t see them playing out as effectively as they need to. But maybe I’m just becoming cynical in my old age. Power to you, organizing is useful.
