Yes. I'm not talking about the people in the Rust Belt, I'm talking about the people in majority Blue states, like Oregon and Washington. There have been lots of riots over police brutality, and the whole Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone that was kept for almost a month. Thing was, with Trump, there will be way tougher riots. People will not worry about looking good for the press since they're just lying all the time. There are also tons of Trump voters who felt betrayed who were staunch Libertarians, and they studied things like Ruby Ridge and Waco. There's also a lack of IEDs and sniper rifles at those earlier protests, which will also change. It's going to be like the Iraq occupation, not to mention Trump voters being really scared and having poor critical thinking skills, and being uneducated as shit (read: easy to outsmart).

You could also fight it out, you know. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.
I know there's a very "if you know you know" thing happening, but what will replace America? Is it Russian and Chinese troops coming all the way to Florida so they can set up a military base?
You cannot have America "cease to exist" on its own. Trump will fuck over America, and make it more barbaric in both foreign and domestic affairs, but it will not "stop being America". I'm sick and tired of people saying "this isn't America!" when the United States deposes a democratically-elected candidate again, or when its "democracy" gives people the choice between two war-hawks again, or when the FBI spies on people against their will again, or enacts huge tax cuts again, and so on. Sure, since Kamala is slightly less American, I chose Kamala because of harm reduction. But what I want you all to understand is this:
I don't want the America of the 1990's. I don't want the America of the 1950's. I don't want the America of the 1920's, or the 1890's, or the 1850's, or some fever-dreamt America "that will someday happen". I want NO America. I want NO United States Federal Government.
Sure, Russia and China are bad. But I will not acquiesce to the US military for the sake of fending them off. US democracy has never put people in control of their government; instead, it's been about two warmongers promising to keep things as they are. Ever since 2016, voting has been an act of begging.
Instead of voting to give the government their say, people vote to beg the government not to make draconian laws. Any state will have a happier, freer people if they secede from the Union, defend themselves successfully, and make a fresh start.
Edit: Meant to press "Preview" and pressed something else.
To be fair, the "must not be led astray by the empty phrases" phrase makes sense. In my opinion, the best way for revolution differs across nation-states, and even cities across the continents. In some places, like the United States, Guatemala, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, revolution is best done in an immediate overthrow, or the immediate establishment of a breakaway state. In the European Union, Brazil, or Canada, it would be best to establish unions and syndicates through which worker's rights can be maintained, with some action that I don't know yet.
I should've made it clear that, as a world superpower, the United States situation is of paramount concern, and the establishment of Cascadia-California, independent Hawaii and Alaska, and other breakaway states might certainly make things better. However, these are very byzantine topics, and I can't say for sure what the best course of action is.
Either way, I blame the entire failure on Dems and will not claim that "voters aren't doing enough". Chuck Schumer's strategy of focusing mostly on middle-class Suburban Republicans is not only ineffective because of its focus on people who won't be affected by Trump's policies, it ignores that, in a state of extreme wealth inequality, the people who have less money will be greater in number. You don't even need to be a well-read Marxist to understand that mansions are empty and cheap apartment blocks are packed, and why that is. The Dems today became the Democrats of 1850 from their sheer stupidity.
By the way, "democrat" in 1850 was completely different from the D-Party today.
I don't think this will work. Say what you want about non-Conservative men, the Conservative ones never cared about consent. It's like a slave refusing to work. The best adage is "the beatings will continue until morale improves". Rapists always act the same toward their victim, no matter the age, and they are best dealt with in the electric chair.
I'll vote Dem, but I am ashamed beyond measure of the Dem party. Despite the public doing all they can to stop Trump, the actual candidates running against Trump are sitting on their asses and refusing to take serious action. This "Blue Wave" is not approval FOR Harris-Walz, but rather DISAPPROVAL for Trump. Dems are ultimately more responsible for fascism in the U.S. than their voters.
All in all, the entire United States Government is at fault. This is just one reason why I want an independent Cascadia.
Made a mistake in par 2. Should be polycrisis is almost entirely.
Despite my Anarchist leanings, I still hate Tea-Partiers for their disregard for human life.
I'm not mad, and I did vote, but I am disappointed.
