I was thinking yesterday how I'm just so ashamed that the public at large has largely said, "Oh well!" and moved on to the next thing as they usually do. I guess I was stupid to think my fellow Americans would start a movement to get rid of all these fuckers.
The current Congress has been one of the least productive in terms of passing laws.... But one they did pass was the Epstein Files Transparency Act. It was the best chance to hold perpetrators to account, and had bipartisan support (which is hard to come by these days).
What I'm getting at is nobody has said "oh well", but a handful of people appointed to the right positions have blocked anything from moving forward with it. And that's frustrating as hell. There are also tons of distractions, such as the war in Iran or anything about the ballroom, which can make it feel like The Trump-Epstein Files™ are behind us. But they're not.
(Though they should be)
You have to assume that they also have been involved with what they cover up with such urgency and distraction.
Well, I'm happy they are at least performing like the clowns they are, but I am more of talking about my fellow Americans. The normal citizens who don't hold any power like myself. Those are the ones (including mine) whose hands it has fallen upon to stand firm and demand the administration face any consequences for all the fuckery they have done and continue to do every single day.
We are feeling quiet hatred, don't you worry. We would get him if we could.
Why don't you start the movement?
the loaf pinchers?
Ah, yes. Let me go out by myself and start demanding the current administration be held accountable.. I'm sure that will go as smoothly as I imagine...
Besides giving that answer, why don't you talk to me about what you and I can do together to get more people involved?
This is the mindset that defeats the possibility: 'I must do this myself' Most people stop there.
You have it exactly right with the second part of course, you have to organize so that isn't the case. Anyone who wants this to stop, their job is to meet 10 real people who agree that enough is enough.
Imagine what you can do with 10 focused and organized people in coordination. Imagine if it was their job to find 10 more people who are focused and organized. How big of a punch might you throw with 100 good people, assuming you don't want to waste your effort marching around the street waving signs and shouting slogans?
Here's a slogan for you: Organize, OPSEC, Overthrow
Why don't you?
You're one plane ticket away from Washington D.C., just like most of the USA.
I'm sure your country supports and enables the USA in many ways, why don't you start a movement to end that support, at least?
the movement already exists
