Summary
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is organizing grassroots events to oppose Trumpās policies, arguing that āTrumpism does not believe in democracy.ā
In an op-ed, Sanders criticized Trumpās ties to Elon Musk, federal budget cuts, and media influence, warning of authoritarianism.
He cited Trumpās recent post likening himself to Napoleon and accused him of disregarding the rule of law.
The White House dismissed Sandersā concerns, accusing Democrats of authoritarian tactics.
Typical liberal lack of imagination. How is it that republicans are easily able to consolidate power yet democrats are weak as hell and consistently fail to do anything at all? Vote for us! Weāre powerless to do anything! But if only you voted harder we would! Ignore the fact that we confirmed trumps nominees!
He should be calling for a general strike and help organize it. Law and order is a joke, the country is collapsing at record speed. Our only non violent hope yet is an actual, French style, general strike. Protests donāt work and just play into trumps desire to declare martial law. But a general strike where people simply stay home and not work would grind this country to a halt and not trigger trumps bloodthirst to use violence against opponents.
And if that doesnāt work, violence it is. This country is fucking done and arguably itās been done for a while now only everyday people are finally waking up to reality.
I think weāre in for it when the effects of burning through the federal government finally reach ānormalā people.
General strike is a good idea.
This guy is living in a dream world.
I might guess heās behind a candidate that gets less than 1% of the popular vote, but in reality is just here to shame you for supporting a substantially better party than the Republicans.
And youāre a sheep being sent to slaughter. The democrats are not acting at all like an opposition party and their strategy is beyond ineffective. The time to stop these people is now not when theyāre herding us into fucking concentration camps.
Fucking liberals. šššš
Weāve tried nothing and weāre out of all ideas!
You think he wouldnāt use force? Iām all for a general strike, but if that day comes, Iām also prepared for the repercussions from a delusional president.
A traditional strike where people group up in protest, likely. A strike where people simply stay home like itās covid all over againā¦ impossible to attack
so things like gernal strikes usually come from a major party who is part of the system one is governed under?
āOmg weāre powerless to do anything guess weāll just sufferā
Fucking liberals.
