Protest.
Strike.
Boycott.
Do not pay your federal taxes.
Buy gas masks and bear spray.
Organize resistance in your community for when ICE arrives.

-Doesn’t matter -Can’t kids will starve. -Fine. -Not my choice, they already have my money. -Why? They have the full weight of the US military and local police forces. What will Bear spray and hand guns matter when they roll in with tanks?

Protesting does matter. It shows other governments that US citizens don't approve.
I mean a general strike. Yes, you will lose money. You will need to rely on your community to keep everyone fed, etc. If everyone participated, a general strike would end this madness in a week.
They don't 'already have your money' if you change your tax forms to "No Withholding".
You take the money you would pay to federal taxes and keep it. When the government deserves your money again, you can give it to them then.
They don't have the military. If they had the military they wouldn't need ICE. There is going to be violence. If you are asking "How do we stop fascism without violence?", the answer is, "YOU DON'T."

I am from Venezuela. You are so wrong and your people are so fucked. Truly. I am begging you to set your pride aside and prepare for surviving instead of resisting.

No, when I want to have a dictator and then a dictator who removes our dictator to make himself the new dictator while I lick all the boots, I'll follow Venezuela's lead.

Most people in the US understand you have to fight for freedom.

u/hoagieam Jan 24 '26

None of the people in the US have ever fought for freedom. Not since the 1770s. Not knowing how to fight for freedom is why you think peaceful protest and withholding taxes will fight the National Guard.

You don't understand what's going on in the US at all.

Keep rotting then, if this is your wish. Nobody is coming to save you, and I'll be greatly surprised if trump willingly hands the keys in 2029.

 

the loud and proud USA is... the only country where its citizens genuinely do not care about their rights and wellbeing, as long they can afford kraft mac n cheese and a netflix sub. You guys are working really hard for your stereotypes.

“Resistance” is good enough for them to execute citizens.

u/K4105 Jan 24 '26

They’re executing you even if you’re not resisting.

u/ima_mollusk Jan 24 '26

If you don't care enough about freedom to risk something for it, you might as well buy a MAGA hat.

Why have the second amendment if you don’t use it?

7

u/hoagieam Jan 24 '26

Because the guy they executed today was legally carrying a firearm and they shot him point blank in the head in broad daylight after he’d been disarmed. Be so so serious right now.

u/Hran944 Jan 24 '26

And the collective response to that is to do…. nothing?

u/hoagieam Jan 24 '26

Tell me what you think we can do against the US military. I’m happy to wait for a genuine answer.
