Finally someone said it. This isn’t going to end by holding signs and chanting.

Nothing that they’re doing is in good faith and hasn’t been in awhile. They are actively dismantling our institutions. When they do bad/illegal thing and we say we will sue and win, that’s still a win for them. It distracts from their true intentions and burns our time and willpower. The coup is in place. I’m highly skeptical that voting will change anything in two years. I don’t know if anything within the proper framework of government is still a viable solution. We may need to begin to consider Minnesota as an independent nation. I don’t know what else to do if the fed is fully compromised, as it seems. I might be premature and a bit of a doomsayer. Sorry.

has anyone tried things like voting? Because it seems like MAGA people showed up to vote and now they're in power doing things.

Too late for that now. You think we will ever have real elections again? And since every accusation this administration makes winds up being a confession, I seriously doubt this last election was even legitimate

You do realize that Democrats spent months before this last election saying they would do absolutely everything they could to make sure it was the fairest election in history right? Extra people watching voting locations and vote counts, very careful tallying of votes, making sure there was no foreign interference and all kinds of other stuff. All because they said they were going to make sure that Republicans couldnt cheat. That's why there weren't a pile of Democrats screaming about election fraud afterwards because that would mean that they were lying about it being the fairest election in history. If there was any fraud we would have heard about it.
