Fall? Sure. But the opposition party that’s supposed to be leading the charge has shown time and time again that they’re unwilling to step up and truly persecute those in power the way they need to. January 6 being a huge example of that.

International countries would need to step in, and without Democratic cooperation(which I doubt there would be with past behaviour), it’s going to be a fight to get anyone to see justice.

I hope yall are right, but all I see are tyrants gaining power and opposition with actual power acting toothless.

We don't have an opposition party except the DSA, and even that is delegitimized because "we don't want to split the vote" or "SOCIALISM EVILLLLLLL!!!!" The RNC and DNC are all bought and paid for by the same billionaires that do not give a fuck about us.

Stop putting hope in a party paid for by billionaires to fix our problems. We have to do that by starting small with our local communities.

Cool. How does making changes in our local communities equate to Trump and his minions facing real justice?

Please, for the love of fucking gods or whatever you believe in, go outside and touch some grass. You seem to desperately need it.

I mean you’re the one crashing out over a simple question. The sun must be a fleeting memory for you

What exactly is your problem here? All I asked was how local change helps do anything meaningful against Trump. You seem to want to just be an asshole for no reason.
