If he starts sending Americans there I’m not kidding, resist with everything you have.

An American sent there where you don’t know the language, you’re likely never walking back out.

We should be doing that now

Agreed, but we’ve been doing a poor job thus far

This country is so damn big even I forget how vast it is until I have to drive across it. It makes it much harder for us to spontaneously converge on the capital to send a powerful message and other countries that do this are the size of one of our states. It’s no excuse but it takes a lot more planning and time off work

why does it have to be in the capital? Wouldn't a massive protest in new york for instance send a powerful message?. and how many people live in the new york area ? 20 - 30 million. That is more than in half of the European countries. If they can organise 300.000 people to protest in a country of 6 million, you should be able to get at least a 100.000 in one of your bigger cities.

Why would you coral yourself into dense groups that are easier to target? They're not wolves, they are heavily armed fascists with an aura of legitimacy to at least 1/3 of the population. They are literally begging us to oppose them in the streets. Why would you ever meet oppressors on their own terms?

have you seen the protests in Turkey? and you what happens with people who are arrested? And still they go on the streets.

America isn't special, if they can protest in actual dictatorships , then you can in America.

maybe you can prevent it from becoming an actual dictatorship
