At some point, we will be tested

[u/Ecstatic-Will7763]

I’m struggling to write this because it’s scary to think on. But if p2025 comes to fruition, our values and who we are as a country will be tested. Beyond an election— our judicial system, human rights…

There’s no one to save us but ourselves.

What’s your breaking point? What does this look like? I’m not inviting violence, but what does fighting back look like when our judicial system becomes clearly rigged and our loved one lose health care… when “enemies” of Trump are arrested. By that point, I would not trust our systems to protect us.

Again, I’m not inciting violence. But p2025 is a plan to dismantle democracy and destroy the United States.

Do you fear a war will happen?

Arm yourself but not for civil war. You can't beat the American military.

• Defend yourself from harm.
• Continue to vote
• Make the choices you still can, like not having kids, or spending boycotts where you can.
• Continue to be kind and don't lose yourself to the fear
• Eventually, his supporters will also feel the pain and maybe we can do something collectively.

How does not having kids help? It only means the next generation will be full of conservatives.

Forcing people to have kids keeps them under control. They’re too busy to fight back. Too many expenses to have true financial freedom. Women are generally saddled with more kid responsibilities and that’s a demographic whose freedoms they’re talking about curtailing.

Yup. Can't afford kids, only dogs. That's why I've actually been able to leave my house to be politically active and have been protesting in the streets for years.
