Many people accuse me of negativity, and I deserve it.

"The coup's over, POTUS has fallen." "Sorry, doesn't work."

If you don't know what's wrong it can't be fixed. My entire life has been about making things better.

This is supposed to have my full attention.

It’s time to export America’s pain back on Putin.

A full year ahead of you. Was teaching boycott strategy after the Parkland Massacre and to support Ukraine.

For maximum effect there must be exit conditions like

Until your firm stops funding altright media and candidates

Swear loyalty to constitutional law

Support No Kings

Make demands clear

Our conclusion is, they are all three depending on the readers' objectives.

SciFi writers are frequently very good strategists on these topics and that's what we need most right now.

Any advice?

BT @luditetechy.bsky.social · 12h

Different topic...

I reread Animal Farm, keep rewatching B5 and MCU and one question plagues me. Maybe you can answer

Are they cautionary tales warning of fascism,
how-to manuals for fascists,
or intended to convince us fascism always looses to create complacency?

They predict MAGA's playbook

@50501movement.bsky.social et. al.

The bots and trolls are learning fast and getting MUCH more subtle. This one is pushing ineffective boycotts to distract us from the effective ones they really fear.

Or, it's a naive person who's been turned by the bots.

Curious to see the response.

BT @luditetechy.bsky.social · 12h

Not bad, but secondary boycotts against

all companies who advertise on Fox and all alt-right media, like the Parkland High School Massacre survivors did against the NRA and gun industry, will be FAR more effective.

Considering your profile is so new, I'm assuming you're a sabotage bot.

It's a good DEFENSIVE plan to protect the citizens.

In that respect I LOVE IT.

It will not get them out of power.

BT @luditetechy.bsky.social · 15h

We protest as a plea to government to address our demands.

Have we defined our demands?

Does anyone in power have any desire to address our demands? On the contrary, they want us to split the country. Our Dem leaders have been trying and have ZERO power to make it happen.

Bar access to, not overrun. Do you plan to were a fur hat with horns like QAanon?

BT @luditetechy.bsky.social · 15h

Who have absolutely no authority to act or power of enforcement.

Plus we've been doing that non-stop for over two years.

Next idea?

BT @luditetechy.bsky.social · 15h

We need a strategy meeting and IT SHOULD NOT be held in public where the other side hears it and heckles us.

That is the ultimate question!

BT @luditetechy.bsky.social · 15h

Let's do the math

7 million protestors paid $100 each = $700m

Where's the PROOF?!?

If he were going to throw $700m at this, there are far more effective ways to spend it.

Congressional Representative Juan Vargas (CA-51st district, vargas.house.gov) barred from exercising his constitutional DUTY to inspect the basement detainment area of the Federal Building where it is believed 200 people are held illegally.

No Kings protested, they escalated their own actions.

How do you plan to do it?

We have the same goals but I see no plan. BTW that’s the same critique I’ve been sending the DNC.

The plans I see read

We protest
We build awareness
We….. duh, well

MAGA in congress becomes enlightened?
A miracle occurs?
Someone else does it for us?

Cry 4 help not plan

The state’s attorneys general.

When that happens, it will mean states in insurrection with the federal government which is civil war.

And civil war is the objective of our adversaries.

This plan gives them what they want.

We need a better plan!!

BT @luditetechy.bsky.social · 16h

He said he should have done it when he lost in 2020.

He’s even promised to do it and those are the promises he keeps.

If Sander’s No Kings bill becomes law - under our constitution congress has ZERO physical power to enforce the law.

Even if Trump’s SCOTUS upholds it, who has power to enforce it?

BT @luditetechy.bsky.social · 16h

Being against something gets attention, but to really win in a political confrontation

We Must Be For Something!

We’re proving we’re not terrorists and don’t hate America - which is critical,

but how will we get MAGA out of power if Trump stops elections?

The violence Republicans seemed to want did not materialize. Instead the event showcased liberal-democratic consensus

Scrolling down a few pages in The Guardian I found Moira Donovan’s excellent piece on No Kings rallies.

“the people at the No Kings rallies all agree that they want to restore the kinds of liberal-democratic conditions that will enable them to disagree with one another.”

To accomplish what goals?

Appeals court rules Trump can deploy national guard to Portland.

You do remember that he packed the federal courts with incompetent cronies during his first term, right?

You forgot that even a few republican senators rejected them?

There still there - for life.

Pascal’s quote is not philosophical.

It’s fact.

The fascists won’t leave until we force them out.

We MUST be nonviolent NONVIOLENT, because we will lose a violent confrontation.

We must create a nonviolent force. It’s been done before. We must do it again.

Trump’s power is economic!

BT @luditetechy.bsky.social · 19h

Every day we wait for a better plan, the fascists dig in deeper.

But, the people get more pissed off.

We’re in a race between

How much damage will the people suffer before they act?

and

How much can the nation survive?

The faster we get pissed off, the sooner it’s over.

That’s DNC’s best.
