poses a reasonable threat, or contributes to evidence of a credible threat.
And who decides ‘reasonable threat’? The people who are joking along with you on preddit or the people locking you in the Epstein cell temporarily until your tria-- ohhh, nevermind.
Note to Canadians: armed American federal cops have come to major Canadian cities to arrest Canadians for something illegal in America but not illegal here - like selling hemp seeds were - and taken them to America for processing. It’s fucked up.
Legitimately, do you have a source/example?
Marc Emery jumps to mind first, but admittedly that was selling seeds with some evidence of cross-border sales, and IIRC he was arrested by the RCMP and Halifax Police Department, though acting on a warrant from the Western District of Washington. If there was another mid- to high-profile case like that, especially if American enforcement made the arrest on Canadian soil [edit: or if this is about Emery and I’m missing some key details] I 100% want to learn more.
It’s important to set achievable goals! There are plenty of republicans in your local area.
I’m not saying these people don’t deserve it, but what good does it do? Wouldn’t it be better to, IDK, kidnap them in order to exchange them for actual human rights? Like, giving away your freedom and potentially your life in exchange for a bill for a public health system?
You’re actually correct, civil resistance is actually the most potent force:
The original suggestion certainly seems like a way for a single person to have more impact.
My understanding is there are marginal cases where violence is the answer, but I suspect this isn’t one of them because of succession.
I’m guessing the black SUVs are en route.
For anti-DEI purposes, they don’t send black SUVs anymore.
This
Of all the shit that comes with trump, this is the worst thing. For the next 4 years I cannot have a single fucking day without trump. It’s going to be trump left, trump right, trump before, trump after, there is no escaping it. 4 years of 90% of the news being trump bullshit. kill me now.
Honestly, I think that’s the top reason he went into politics. Narcissists need everyone to pay attention to them
That’s a pretty interesting observation, i never considered that.
I think that is partially true
Wether by design (probably) or accident, the cheeto takes all the headlines and there is no space left for the actual crimes they’re committing, like making sure the rich get richer by tax cuts, the tarrif thing, etc.
I think a lot of it is just designed to ensure people aren’t paying attention to what really matters, a magicians trick if you will
Less of a magicians trick and more like that time you were 2 and dad took your nose. Some fuckers still out there everyday looking for their damn nose.
If that’s the worst thing, then you are very privileged.
Or you aren’t American
Right, because only America will be affected by all this, just like how only Germany was affected by the Holocaust.
Which reminds me, the worst thing about that Hitler fellow is how I have to keep hearing about him.
If you genuinely think there is going to be a holocaust you should probably be planning assassination of government officials rather than complaining online.

The worst thing? The audacity.
Oh shut up already with your “privilege”. That political correctness has been a huge reason for many people to vote for orange cheeto to begin with.
I’m just an ordinary guy living an ordinary life, I don’t need some armchair hero twat telling me that I’m privileged
I sure wish people would stop choosing the end of the fucking country over a little word ick.
Pathetic
You’re privileged.
Unfortunately, no matter how the rest of the next four years go, I fear we’ll be hearing “Trump-era” for the rest of our lives.
Even after, there’s tons to undo and process for the history books.
When he got elected I added filters to my Lemmy app… Trump, Elon, musk, Tesla.
Half my front page was still full of Tusk.
Even in Canada 50% of news is about Trump
Trump is the best thing to ever happen to news networks. No more hard questions. No people planning positive rights legislation. Nothing but trump. The status quo is safe while he sucks all the air out of every public forum and media.
Filters in the fediverse are so nice.

That would be nice!
Piefed has them and its awesome! https://piefed.social/user/settings/filters

I agree. Its by one dev (mostly) so its amazing what they did :) The bones are solid!
I really want a client on phone.
I have every word relating to the US filtered. Every community filtered. And it still fills half my feed. Wish I could do more.
I can’t seem to add enough keywords.
Shame filters rely on people actually including the filtered keywords in the title.
Not nice enough, since this would still end up on your feed.
Yeah, i wish i could live with my head in the sand too.
Not all of us are American.
I’ll save you the effort of replying, I know you’ll say that it effects every country.
Well, at least you are honest about your wanted ignorance.
I bet people said the same thing about Hitler both before and after he died. Awful people are typically quite often talked about.
It’s almost like we’re watching a historical event where a large democratic nation is quickly turning into an oligarchal dictatorship. Almost like we’re dealing with the consequences of anti intellectualism.
Also just because you don’t live in America during all this doesn’t mean your country is immune to right wing influence.
Dude, here in Europe half the nations are already beholden to some extreme right faction, and the other half are flirting with it.
Our situation is honestly just a hair better and could deteriorate very rapidly.
Like, for example, if Putin makes his move against the Baltics. If that happens we’re equally megafucked.
It was oligarch for a while now.
I mean yeah but not to the point of openly ripping the govt apart.
This is why I wrote a script for Firefox that redacts pictures and mentions of Trump and Elon, haha

aww, fuck you tooo >ε
The funny thing is, I have Lemmy filtering out all posts with the word Trump in it, but it failed to get this one, the one complaining about too many people talking about Trump!
The day he no longer exists will be a joyous day indeed.

Someone already made it.
presses F5 furiously
feeling this one right in my 37th floor open window.
At least wrap yourself in a trans flag for the world to see, like that US veteran last week.
What US veteran last week?
Edit:
Social media was probably the best thing to ever happen for fascists. Because everyone’s online and not out there actually doing something about it.
And right now we mostly have clowns (Zuck, Musk) at the helms of, let’s call them what they are, megapropagandamachines. Imagine what equally evil but much smarter players could do.
Like, say, Putin? I honestly have to wonder how much the rise of fascism over the last couple decades owes to him.
Everyone’s talking and nobody’s doing anything.
I hate how US centric lemmy.world is. Wish I could block all Americans.
Who?
