A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world

7) No Hit-and-Run questions.

Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

What kind of midterm coup are we talking and how will it be implemented?

I mean, really anything from putting ICE in polling stations to arresting Enemies of the State™ to manufacturing a crisis and using the Insurrection Act. It's Netanyahu syndrome; if Trump is ever out of power he might actually get thrown in jail for his various crimes, and of course he wants absolute power and this is his last chance to get it. Therefore the question is who or what will stop him, and you've seen how the non-far right political leadership has been these last two years. Now my point isn't that it's all hopeless and there's no point in trying, but that the mode and intensity of trying will have to rise up a few notches for the whole protecting democracy thing to work.

Have you signed up to be a poll worker yet? Are you running for something? Are you organizing for your candidates if you're not running? What else is your plan besides voting, if you plan to vote at all?

Does being born on the other side of the world count?
