Of course this country "looks more like a fascist dictatorship," that's the goal. That ship has sailed.

What if everyone that goes to a "No Kings Day' protest did one thing BESIDES protesting. Pledge to NPR. Switch to a credit union. Boycott one company you were going to buy from anyways that supported Trump. Go on to your states sos site and sign nominating petitions for 2026 and give $5 clean election funds. Attend one political meeting. Something!

Just going out and holding a sign with a catchy slogan makes YOU feel good, but doesn't really do anything else. And long gone are the days where any of the elected republicans would worry about what non-republican primary voters in their district think.

Why not both? Do the invisible and visible at the same time?

Does "virtue signaling on lemmy" count too?
