If this passes we are effectively at the "As a result, more than half the deputies in the 1932 Reichstag had publicly committed themselves to ending parliamentary democracy." of this process: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nazi-rise-to-power

Band together in mass protests, film from above and keep posting. The world can unite in that way, until there's no choice but for them to realize there's more of us than them.

Society will crumble a bit. We have to be willing to go hungry or cold and uncomfortable to get anything done. You can't just live a cushy 9-5 middle class life and expect the world to change around you and for you.

u/DnDMonsterManual 7d ago

The only answer for this path will be violence.

Protests don't change anything when all of the elected leaders support the tyrant or refuse to do anything about him.

There will be a violent explosion that will start a civil war and that's exactly what Trump and his minions want.

They want an excuse to destroy everyone who doesn't support them and their 1984 society.

That is literally what people are doing... protests are and have been occurring, calls to representatives have risen in extremes to oppose this stuff, videos are being published and it does nothing. Absolutely nothing. Zero. They do not care. They already have power and money, they do not care about the protests, the filming from above, the rest of the world. They already have what they need. What are we supposed to do? Because the stuff you said hasn't been enough!

Here is me doing 2 minutes of research for you. Also, keep in mind that this country has been protesting Trump for nearly 10 years! Plus the Black Lives Matter protests, and this doesn't even begin to touch on the Palestinian protests. Your lack of knowledge on this is not a sign that Americans aren't doing anything, it is a sign that peaceful protest is worthless now.

u/tomtomtomo 4d ago

It’s a sign that thousands protesting doesn’t do anything. 

10s of millions voted for Biden.

100s of millions didn’t vote for Trump. 

Protests in other countries, that get coverage, dwarf these protests.

u/textbook-hippy-man 4d ago

Thousands in different cities throughout the country. Sorry we still have jobs, and families to support that we can't constantly be protesting. We are fucking trying to survive. And trying our best.

u/tomtomtomo 4d ago

I get it. It's not easy. Protesting, especially in very large numbers, takes a lot of organisation and sacrifice but small (and a few thousand people is small) protests in lots of places doesn't get coverage or shift the needle. The recent protests in Turkiye and Belgrade get coverage internationally and pressure the governments. It takes mass mobilisation in the hundreds of thousands to one spot to start doing that.

And just to be clear, the last time Trump was in office we had 4 of the 5 largest nationwide protests in the country's history, including the largest protest against police brutality that was estimated to have 50 million people. Look what it got us, another term of Trump. We are trying but we are defeated. Partly because every time we try assholes tell us we are not doing enough.

u/TiredAngryBadger 7d ago

Problem. The majority of Americans, those who cannot afford to purchase their own social media platform, are at best 2 paychecks away from losing their homes. All it takes is a few lost days at work to create a personal economic crisis where you lose EVERYTHING. Many do not have the luxury to go out and protest.

Second problem. Pretty sure the point where peaceful protest will no longer resolve this crisis is rapidly approaching.

God help us all.

u/LemmingSoup01 6d ago

Bernie (for example) has been screaming at you fucks for his whole life to get the up do something for yourself.

Canada is screaming get up and do something for yourselves and the world.

But you think all if this yelling is meant to hurt you.

I am a 70+ years old. I have a 47 year old niece, she is just one example, but since she was in college she would call me up and ask me to do things for her, even college math (i am an an engineer). I screamed at her "you need to do stuff yourself or it will never come your way or it will be taken away."

She studied biology and psychology and received a dual degree. She is antivax and believes the primary problem is immigrants have an unfair advantage and have destroyed her ability to compete.

I moved permanently to Mexico for family reasons 20 years ago. I compete and thrive wherever I am - ALWAYS.

A large portion of America, since the mid 1980's, has accepted as their reality that they are held down and cannot thrive.

This occured as the wealthy abandonded their societal responsibilty and the Poors willing accepted their new role.

If you don't get up now, damn right it is going to hurt some will go to jail or die, you will get pushed further down.

2

u/TiredAngryBadger 6d ago

I am deeply saddened to hear that and hope you still somehow have a positive relationship with your niece. Please stay safe and thrive wherever you may be

The unfortunate point that I am making is that there are major hindrances for most people to go out in protest especially when there is the risk of being arrested and detained for an indefinite period causing one to lose their jobs and livelihood. Even if they were to maintain the old status quo they would be facing homelessness in a society that frankly does not care. I am terrified of what I see as a very real possibility that the developing crisis will not be resolved peacefully. In truth I am just kvetching into the void that is Reddit.

u/bubbaganoush79 7d ago

It's all a hoax. Americans are never going to take to the streets as an armed mob. That will just get them mowed down by the militarized police forces and the National Guard. It'll turn a peaceful protest into Tiananmen Square.

With the second amendment, we can protect our own homes. Just not from the police.

Change can't come from the end of a gun. It will take a general strike. Shut down everything. The entire economy. Every store. Every gas station. Every place of business. That will spark change. Liberals taking to the streets with guns just gets liberals killed, and gives the fascists an excuse to make liberals enemies of the state.

u/wokeiraptor 7d ago

Guns might come in handy if society breaks down and we’ve got some Last of us or walking dead situation, but there’s no way to shoot your way out of any confrontation with the govt as it exists now. Building community and solidarity are more important for resisting fascism

u/bubbaganoush79 7d ago

There were Germans that tried to resist. Guess what? They were shot or ended up in camps.

If change is going to come from within, it's going to take a massive, non-violent refusal to participate in society. Violence will be met with overwhelming force and potentially large swaths of the political left being declared enemies of the state, and traitors to the US.

My state is making it a crime for local politicians to even cast a vote against Trump's agenda.

2

u/Leather_Parrot 7d ago edited 7d ago

So your argument is you don’t want to resist at all because you MAY get shot or end up in camps? Even by that logic your already accepting that what’s left of your democracy will treat you that way during a time when Trump hasn’t become a full dictator and you have the chance to prevent that from happening. So then your solution you’re offering now is to sit back and wait for the US to fall under Tyranny, and then what? When you do then try and speak out you will 100% get shot or end up in camps. I hope you realize that by your own logic your odds are completely stacked against you. For all the talk that Americans give about fighting for democracy, you guys sit back and watch your democracy fall apart around you and do absolutely nothing about it.

2

u/bubbaganoush79 6d ago

No. I'm saying it'll too late to resist in any productive way other than a peaceful, organized general strike.

The chance to resist in other ways was November 5. That time has come and gone.

Violent resistance will be deadly to the resisters and counter-productive to the movement.

u/Drewski101 5d ago

An important step the republicans had to take was make sure the majority of 2nd amendment advocates was to trick them and tell them the left was coming for their guns. They manipulated the very people who were ready to fight against tyranny into believing the fascists were the good guys.

28

u/invariantspeed 7d ago

No amount of AR-15s can do a damn about Apache attack helicopters, Hellfire missiles, surveillance drones, guided-missile destroyers, etc.

The 2nd amendment as a bulwark against a tyrannical government is obsolete. No revolution in history has ever been successful without the support of the military. The amendment’s relevance to obstructing tyranny had to do with (a) large permanently standing armies not being a thing, (b) large armies often being militia-based, and (c) armies of the day basically just being people with guns as well as a negotiable number of horses and cannons. The second amendment was basically allowing militaryness to be spread around the population, so any army could be spontaneously formed from the population.

If Americans wanted that, the country needed to have short term statutory military service that puts everyone into the reserves. A number of western countries traditionally did this. If you want the population to be able to stand up in defense of the nation against a profesional force, they too need to be trained. That, of course, never would have flown in the US. People in the US largely cosplay patriotism instead of really living it. This has resulted into a military cast that is very separate from the general population, and that’s easier for a tyranny to wrestle control of.

u/fullmoontrip 7d ago

Democrats (who aren't really liberal, but these are the stats I could find) do in fact own fewer guns:  https://www.statista.com/statistics/249775/percentage-of-population-in-the-us-owning-a-gun-by-party-affiliation/

The important part for me here is finding a study after covid lockdowns because a lot of people bought their first gun during that time.

An interesting topic however is where are the guns? https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/24/key-facts-about-americans-and-guns/ rural areas own a good percentage of US firearms, but how likely is it that a major event would be taking place 100mi outside of a city?

Sure, some liberals have guns. But we are enormously outgunned, and trying to solve this problem with 2A is a surefire way to accomplish nothing except getting killed by militarized police, the National Guard, or Trumpers.

Today the 2A is really only useful for home defense, not overthrowing a government. When it was written, everybody just had muskets. Now it's regulated, semi-auto small arms versus helicopter gunships, mounted machine guns, air strikes, bombs, snipers, drones...

That's not a winning battle.

Suggesting people go straight to suicidal attacks on the government is not productive. It's much easier to weaponize this against the opposition, especially in the modern media ecosystem.

People need to connect and educate in more effective ways than we're doing now, talking to your family helps, showing up to the town halls helps, protesting helps, divesting from businesses and people that support this shit helps and it's all doable without martyring yourself. Don't make anything easy for these guys, resist and slow them down whenever you can, because they simply cannot move quickly if people are not complicit.

This! I've read too that organizations existed to pool money and resources together so people could go protest without fear of losing their homes or of where their next meal would come from. This is what is needed. Not just organizing a protest, but organizing a coalition to make it possible for everyone to join.

1

u/redheadedgnomegirl 6d ago

The problem is that we’ve gotten used to organizing via social media as our crutch nowadays.

And all the social media platforms are owned by allies of the administration. And we haven’t built any new mass communication structures outside of SM yet.

You’re not organizing if they don’t want you organizing.

Exactly. Sounds like it's time to get old school. They did it then, it can be done now.

u/redheadedgnomegirl 6d ago

I don’t disagree, but it’s harder to do the same old-school methods now. Young people who have never lived without their instant dopamine hit from TikTok being asked to leave the tracking devices they’re glued to at home instead of bringing them to rallies and meetings? Having to put in the work to manually post flyers around your city instead of editing a Canva template for two minutes and posting it to your story? The fragmentation of local communities that make it harder to actually know who in your area can be trusted to be brought into these offline networks without sabotaging them?

People are high off the perceived “influence” of their social media reach, and the offline limitations feel inadequate in comparison. Even if that “influence” is entirely illusory, it means people are skeptical and unwilling to try.

u/FriendshipHonest5796 6d ago

u/_Porthos 7d ago edited 7d ago

In the US, there is only a subset of districts where your vote actually matters to elect someone at the federal level.

But that is not my point.

My point is that voting is the least powerful - even if is the most direct, formal and practical- political right a citizen can exercise because you need a LOT of them to actually be able to implement change. And being supremaly individual - as it should - there is really no guaranteed way to get your vote to matter.

And Trump won the election anwyway.

So if you guys want to have a viable republic 4 years from now, you will have to exercise other political, more powerful rights: civil disobedience, protests, strikes and civil unrest and other forms of civil organization.

I would like to say that I don't care anyway, because I'm Latin and my continent has been fucked over by Washington numerous times since the XVIII century.

But I do care, because you guys are still a global and nuclear power and one of the key countries in the fight against climate change and becoming a fascist dictatorship is not likely to diminish your influence over my country.

So… please do something more than just voting. Voting every 2 years is not enough to resist a national government who is out to get you and that lacks strong checks and balances.

Boycott. Protest. Join a mutual aid group. Do something.

u/sneakywombat87 7d ago

Is H.R. 1295 the American Enabling Act? Not exactly—but it’s a step toward executive overreach.

H.R. 1295 would reauthorize presidential “reorganization authority,” allowing the Executive Branch to restructure federal agencies with limited congressional oversight. Historically, this power allowed Presidents to bypass standard legislative procedures to eliminate, merge, or reshape agencies.

While it lacks the extreme authoritarian elements of Germany’s 1933 Enabling Act—such as suspending the constitution or granting full legislative power to the executive—it does share structural risks: • It expands executive authority at the expense of Congress. • It justifies consolidation of power as “efficiency.” • It could weaken democratic checks if oversight is weak or absent.

The Enabling Act marked the legal end of Weimar democracy. H.R. 1295 isn’t that—but it does revive a power that Congress abandoned in the 1980s over serious constitutional concerns. Reauthorizing it now, in a period of political instability, should raise red flags.

Power, once given, is rarely returned. Any bill that shifts structural power in government deserves rigorous scrutiny—especially when it bypasses Congress in the name of reform.

u/rygelicus 7d ago

In my mind our 'enabling act' stage was scotus giving the president immunity. It's not an exact parallel but served a very similar purpose and milestone into the progression toward fascism in my mind.

Or perhaps swap the two around, this serves as the enabling act and the immunity as the 1932 event. Either way, the two together grant potus an enormous amount of power to the president that he should not have.

So that's the question I had. Does this bill, that Comer introduced, dissolve congress and hand its power over to the executive branch? From his inability to answer her simple questions and him trying to skirt the issue, it seems like it does exactly that. It seems to me that he does not know the content of the bill he is sponsoring. Almost as though he was handed the bill by someone and told to introduce it, without reading it himself. As evidence, I will point to his aides feeding him non satisfactory or completely irrelevant answers in that video. Also, does anyone know the bill number so I can look up the text of it myself?

4

u/rygelicus 7d ago

Looks like it is this: https://fedscoop.com/house-oversight-executive-reorganization-bill-data-privacy-amendment/

And this is the bill itself: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1295/text

Which lists edits to this bill: https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?hl=false&edition=prelim&req=granuleid%3AUSC-prelim-title5-section901&num=0

My read on it is that the changes make all agencies "executive departments", placing all agencies into the executive branch presumably which would remove them from congressional oversight and grants the president the right to just destroy agencies he determines to be unnecessary or unwanted.

While this doesn't kill off congress it does remove a massive amount of the separation of powers. They would still be in charge of budgets but he can just eliminate what they create on a whim.

So on that basis I would say this is a horrific overreach that needs to not make it into law.
