When are we going to stop resisting and start full on rebelling?

[Initech]

Today, the religious right won. Hate and bigotry won. Progress was rolled back in favor of fucking bullshit. We have got to start standing up to Trump and the Christian bullies and start kicking them in the ass! And we have to start now!

1. Well Healthcare

got people pissed off, when they go after social security will that take people to fill the streets??? Something will be the last straw and then all hell will break loose.

2. No, they didn't, trump distracted everyone from the 'russia' conversation.

trump can't impose the prohibition he pretended to do simply by tweeting; takes more, like legislation and/or actual change of rules/regulations.

3. When you find out, let me know.

I've been asking DU readers that for several days and the resisters for many months. I am past "I am mad as hell..."! I have been for quite some time. No one has the answer, only the same question.

4. I wonder what it would take to get straight men enraged enough to come out in real numbers....

It makes me sad to see them in such small numbers stmprotests. I feel like they'd need a draft to get off their butts.

5. I'm starting to think Trump is trolling his own 'supporters'

Or, at least run of the mill GOPers

The Republicans and Religious Reich have spent DECADES perfecting the dog-whistling of racism, misogyny, homophobia, and normalizing the legislating of white patriarchal supremacy with subtle code words and cries of Evil Librals!!! All the while exhausting themselves dressing their agenda in camouflage so no one notices they're only interested in fund-raising.

But Loser 45 is practically VOMITING out the hate agenda on a daily basis, to televised cheers from the very freaks the GOPers have carefully courted on the sly.

There's something just weird about the whole thing

6. This is the same thing as that "Smash the motherfuckers" post

And I will ask the same thing I did in that thread: How should we rebel?

Is this a collective rebellion, or a call for vigilante tactics? Should we use violence, guns, bombs? Or should we just provoke the RWNJs with "tRump for prison 2017" t-shirts?

Oh god, this is so frustrating! The women's march coalesced quickly and was productive. There were a few weeks of different marches after that, and then everything seemed to grind to a stop. Did the fuckers finally wear us down enough that we quit?

7. As I've said for awhile...

...if you're really serious about rebellion (and, frankly, most people who talk about it aren't), you and all other similarly-inclined progressives need to arm yourselves -- and I mean amass the sort of arsenal you usually only find among white supremacist militias. Train yourself well in the use of all of them. And prepare for a lot of you to die in the struggle, with a result that's uncertain at best.

8. I'm starting to think not until we are deprived of our social media access

We're too comfortable being armchair warriors. When we're not seen or heard unless we're face to face with other people, we won't bother getting up and going out to rebel.

[Calculating]

9. Correct answer

Who wants to take to the streets when they can just leave angry messages on a forum or facebook?

[flor-de-jasmim]

12. Yes and no. Wherever the MSM filters out real concerns/news, social media

Provides an invaluable service. Having said that, overuse is rampant.

[ecstatic]

10. They're not Christians. They are as fake as it gets!

Money hungry assholes. Yes, we need a full on rebellion but we also need to frame things right.

[lib-ruhl]

11. I thought bringing people out of their comfort zone would at least have brought about resistance....

but not with his supporters... they're useless and oblivious to anything reported. We're going to have to do this on our own....
