Personally I’m pretty happy with how fucking awkward Elon was while doing it. The whole gif is really cringe.
It’s a long way to 2026 folks. We are going to have a lot of Federal Level damage in the next couple of years. Even if Democrats get elected in 2026+ we will have absurd debts to pay and likely be forced to raise taxes and be the bad guy again.
Americans are lazy bastards, and nothing makes them lazier than the cold. For as much as I admire Luigi, he will have thrown his life away for nothing. If he’d been a little bit sooner, or a lot bit later, maybe he could be a martyr. As is, he’ll be a footnote.
What you would need is several copycat killers, with some getting away, during the summer when Americans are comfortable protesting. Even then, American protests have recently been toothless, and haven’t made any effect on politics ever since Trump took office in 2016.
You do know it isn’t mandatory to let it happen, right?
Did anyone tell the DNC? Because they’re sure as hell ACTING like it is…
Seriously, we do not have to abandon our right to revolution
A couple weeks late now. For a popular revolt facing an overwhelming power imbalance, you need to rely on anyone in government being squeamish about massacring civilians.
The new government would rather kill a thousand innocent people than concede the God-Emperor ever being wrong about anything, and the new Senate minority would rather let them than violate procedural norms.
Why do you think anyone that’s already part of the system would be involved at all?
It has to be us, the people, not some charismatic, or good liar that’s stuck in the concept of making the system work. It has to come from people that are tired of the fact that the system does work, just not for us
Frustrating but predictable.

Yeaaa about that.
If we cant get people to the polls.
How do we get people to the streets?
While I agree it looks like apathy has set in, maybe Luigi can be seen as a catalyst for change through action.
Godspeed my USian neighbours.
Won’t happen.

Inspiration doesn’t expire, it breeds like hope. History happens slowly and through a culmination of events. A catalyst is the enabler of the future.
That is indeed the problem.
Truth be told, it ain’t happening, but I get so sick of people shrugging it off and pretending that we don’t have a choice. We do
It’s just that the majority would rather watch the system get tighter and tighter because they think the noose isn’t going to be around their necks.
Wait until the price of eggs and gas goes up
Nothing will happen, people are willing to tolerate much worse things
americans abandoned that a long time ago.

And who will lead this revolution? Biden? Kamala?
Go on. Who is the leader? Do we just gotta all rally behind Jill Stein now?

Cool.
Give me a name. And stop stalling.
Are you dense?
No. I’m just aware of the need for a charismatic leader.
Civil rights had Martin Luther King. Among other leaders. The idea of doing this without leadership is the fundamental flaw.
I think we should be beyond any one human running everything honestly.
What we have here is Elon Musk helping out on Trump’s branding.
Even Team Trump, as fascist as they are, are being run by entire teams of teams. The spokespeople are just that, speakers.
A leader doesn’t make the decisions. The leader just unifies the people.
Horse shit. Charismatic leaders are what got us into our current mess
Biden was a Charismatic leader?
The way American politics are going, it’ll probably be lead by Jack Black.
If there is a leader, any leader at all, who’d try to lead the progressive cause? And one that people would really behind?
That’d be a good first start. Even celebrities like Jack Black.
Shit. I’d march with him.
Jack Black actively chose to call out his fellow band mates who made a mild joke about the assassination attempt that hit Trump’s ear.
He’s not going to be leading any revolutions.
Ah yes, wait for the do nothing democrats to save you, that sounds like a totally viable plan 🙄
