    We need exercise our second amendment and the citizens need to arrest

    Elon Musk, Donald Trump, JD Vance, Pete Hegseth, Clarence Thomas, Big Balls and associated hacker coup, Peter Theil, Tulsi Gabbard, John Roberts, Jared Kushner, Steve Miller, Brett Kavanaugh and all January 6th rioters

    I think that would be a good start

    Americans…why are you just allowing this to happen to your country, like what’s it going to take for you people to actually do something?

      We’re slaves living paycheck to paycheck and nobody cares about each other.

      This system will collapse before we hold rich white men accountable

      We’re pretty conditioned to obey. Like, you can be a rebel and insult people or be racist or sexist or “anti-social,” but you go to work and pay your bills. We’re also, mostly, in debt up to our eyeballs the stress of which gives a powerful myopia. Average Americans are way poorer than tv would have you think.

      Thirty percent of the population doesn’t even bother to vote as they’ve basically given up, maybe for one of the reasons above or maybe because the government has little to do with day to day life, or maybe something else.

      There’s also like a third of the population that is super happy about these developments. It the most amazing thing to have a king again and get back to how things are supposed to be.

      There’s also a sort of general American optimism that is super persistent: if you do good, then it’ll be ok. We’re hyper individualized. Do the best you can with what you have. Don’t put anyone out, or depend on anyone else.

      Unfortunately, things will have to get a lot worse to motivate us.

      Easier if the country was the size of something like France. But when you have to clear a thousand miles just to arrive at the halfway point in the US. It’s hard to show massive protests.

      This take is so boring. There are protests and even direct action all across the States. We’re just getting started. You need to change your media sources if you’re not hearing about what’s going on.

    A billionaire is never going to suffer a real consequence in America. That’s why we’re so screwed in the first place

    state charges too, Trump cant pardon those. Maybe thats the answer for republican law breakers, move all the federal laws to the state books. (Or maybe thats a bad idea, I’m not a lawyer)

    I’ve wanted to see him arrested for a while now too. I wonder if there’s a way to class-action sue him for trashing the government/economy. After all, he’s unelected and not even technically a government employee - just some rich asshole granted authority without mandate.

    I think this went to court during the presidential election and if I remember correctly the court said that you can pay people to encourage them to vote but you cant pay them to vote for a certain candidate. So I dont see this going anywhere.
