He is a traitor
This has been planned for a while
Many Democrats are in on it
We cannot vote our way out of this. They have to be arrested/removed.

TRUMP also made epstein files his campaign promise, some of his supporters arnt letting this go, even to the point the various platforms have to either astroturf or ban the supporters(eg, r/conservative, they completely banned the topic)
- Trump supporters are fucking idiots. Trump just hasn't found the right shiney keys to dangle in front of them yet.
- Me and my friend were debating that fact. He knew he was in the files for years. He still ran on the campaign promise about releasing those files. Either A He planned on getting in power and telling them fuck off. Or B he got in power to PREVENT himself from receiving consequences.

Why do people keep calling DC a state ?

Because it is a separate entity from the Commonwealth ofVirginia, and most citizens struggle with basic reading comprehension and geography.
- Welp lets see what’s happens!
Ah that's what the second "state" is, thought I'd missed something major

Release the Trump/Epstein files

Doesn't it bother anyone else how ineffective the left are at making this a big deal?

Biden eats a hamburger weirdly and everybody and their grandmother are screaming how it's proof he's senile and incompetent.

Trump invaded two cities and the left use the same 27 year old slogans and insults and barely make any content.

It's because the left has allowed itself to be absorbed by establishment liberals, who have way too little stock with the people for their words to move anyone. This is the inevitable consequence of progressives regarding liberals as allies rather than slightly more tasteful (and more insidious) enemies.
- You sure?
  If I was a right wing think tank my first move would be to get the left to identify as very strict categories and then create a bunch of infighting as if they're little island before I crush them.
  The left fails because they don't act strategically
Can you blame us? We haven't spent our whole lives screaming about weird shit so of course the right is better at it.
- But you have. It's just been less effective. And that needs serious reflection as to why.
It's also in large part the media. They focused on that shit
- Right and we are social media. The left are supposedly a much bigger population. Just by city alone. Did you see how many people drive across the country to stand in streets?
  So what is stopping is from surpassing the media and online presence to overwhelm it with a message like they do when Biden blinks weird?
  What the fuck are they doing that we can't figure out.
  Why does it seem like nobody else is pissed off at the left for not being able to do what they do?
  Is the strategy at this point to wait until the public gets tired of watching the left get their shit kicked in by bullies?
  I've opened Lemmy today to see if anyone is posting Marc Maron because I fucking know they're not. I'm here to verify why we can't engage the public. We're lazy. All these people posting how they'll punch a Nazi. But there's a lot of other places they can intervene before then. But so many on the left are just talk like that while the right are actually about action. It's maddening.

Uhm. Military following illegal and obviously traitorous orders is way bigger a problem, because whoever gave this order is not going to outlive the military and how they function

Normalize calling them the Trump/Epstein Files.

Normalize calling him “treasonous child fucker Trump”
- I'd go with child rapist
- This is also extremely acceptable.
trumpstein will do

Americans about to get a taste of what they've bern exporting for decades. Hope y'all are ready.

I didn't export shit. I've been against our military industrial complex since I've known of its existence. You act like all of us are somehow in on this crap...
- Yep. Ignorance is universal. I sure as hell actively voted against against this.
  We will prevail
- Thw vast majority of Americans have done essentially nothing to stop the tyranny of their government abroad, the most recent examples of which being the genocide in Gaza and the bombing of Yemen. Maybe you're in the minority that did something, but if not then living in California and voting blue is not enough to be innocent of the actions of the war machine.
- Sorry, you don't really get to live here and not be a part of it.
If america falls completely, europe has two decades tops.
- European countries might find ways to be less dependent on the US, economically and politically. The fall of the US will have repercussions, but the rest of the world is already preparing for it. I don't think Europe will suffer that much... China will be all to happy to replace the US as a commercial partner.
- Before... What exactly?

At this point I'm sure there's video of Epstein topping Chump.

Him and his cronies are scared

Let's be perfectly clear: This is what it means to "act like the President of the United States".

Well normally Presidents of the United States invade other countries, it's the self-invasion that's unusual here
- Presidents of the United States also have a pretty long history of harassing and arresting people for being poor, black or leftist, so really the only strange part is the scale and that it's coming for mainstream white America.
- Not the first time the usa army was sent to fuck over usa citizens. Two notable ones from that list:
  In 1877, workers on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad staged a walkout over scheduled wage cuts, provoking a nationwide general strike that paralyzed commerce across the emerging industrial belt of the Midwest and mid-Atlantic states. (...) From Washington, Hayes ordered the Army to break the strike, which it did with overwhelming force
  During the early days of the Great Depression, thousands of World War I veterans camped in Washington, D.C., demanding early payment of bonuses owed to them in later years. Hoover, fearing radicalism and facing pressure from the business community, ordered the veterans forcibly removed from several federal buildings they were occupying. Active-duty troops under General Douglas MacArthur exceeded that order, deploying tanks and cavalry, setting the Bonus Army’s camps on fire and routing the protesters.
  Not mentioned in that article, but also relevant, Battle of Blair Mountain - usa army sent to stop coal miners' strike

As a non-American what two cities? I knew of Los Angeles but what's the other one. It doesn't come up in our news.

He's deploying the National Guard to our capital, Washington DC. He's also taking federal control over the DC police. All because Big Balls said he was assaulted by 10 15-year-olds in an attempted carjacking. Whether or not it happened, or happened like that, I have no idea.
- Explain how the hell exactly 10 folks are going to commit a car jacking...they stealing a goddamn clown car? At best there's 7 seats, because they are going to wait 30 seconds for all of the carjackers to get inside, and let the other 3 figure out how to escape.
  -this is the dumbest timeline
- He's also floated nationalizing NYC if Mamdani wins the mayoral race this fall.
- He's also floating the idea of deploying them to cities with black Democrat mayors.
the other one is DC, he is desperately trying to distract the press from the files, so he ordered the military to remove HOMELESS people from dc, trying to ragebait the press as a distraction.
Washington DC

Act like the president of the United States

I hate to tell you but...

It’s like these people have never heard of Shays’s rebellion or the whisky rebellion. This is exactly what American presidents do and it goes further than Shays’s rebellion. Liberals need to learn nationalist myths will not save us.
- That YT link... wow.

That's all well and good, but it'll take more than memes to finally get rid of this despot, US folks—why isn't there any serious resistance?

We are at the end of half a century of destroying the working class and militarizing our police.
With no social safety net, healthcare tied to employment, and at-will employment, there’s no working people able to afford a sustained non violent protest.
Capitalist controlled media has eroded any sense of class consciousness amongst the common people, who are more inclined to be angry about the “theft” of a billionaires pile of gold through taxation, than the everyday theft of the value their labor produces.
There have been many one day protests, large ones, but society has been reshaped to make sustained protests virtually impossible. A captured media landscape and election system insulate politicians from consequences. Together these depress the incentive for non violent protest.
Violent insurrection would be met with a ton of state violence.
People, pretty reasonably, aren’t excited to be beaten, sent off to CECOT, or killed.
And of course, I’ll note the many logistic issues. America is fucking huge, most Americans don’t have $500 to cover an emergency, no one has an extra $500+ to fly across country for a do nothing protest in DC. Protest coverage is met with derision by centrist as “too disruptive” while the right wing n enjoys the snippets of our police state bashing protesters with state sanctioned violence.
So a lot of people do the calculus, spend time, money, and energy to go out into the street to be beaten and maybe disappeared so that nothing will change, and they sit it out.
- Then I fear that the US will soon become a dictatorship in all but name. I don't see how this can be prevented. One thing is certain, however: in a repressive autocracy, there will be many more, much more tangible reasons to put up with everything the rulers do.

Thank you Captain Obvious.
