 Look, I'm a fan of small government. I think each state should be its own
 nation, and the federal government should essentially just coordinate trade
 between them and organize a common militia that they use to contest outside
 threats. How unfair is it that we don't get snap funding because they couldn't
 resolve their differences? And how big of a problem would it be if suddenly
 everyone in red states suddenly lost their government benefits... And yes it's
 true that i love America, through and through. These States have stood United
 for several hundred years, but the American United States deserve a bit more
 freedom than is currently granted to. They need to know where they stand, we
 need to prove to each other why we need each other. To that end, we must
 weaken ourselves, as a weight lifter weakens her body by lifting, so that we
 might grow and heal our wounds and bind new accords as her body does do with
 her muscle fibers. We will come out of it stronger for it, if we truly desire
 unity. I think we do, on an abstract level, but practically we're constantly
 fighting. Luckily, the past is soon fading, and we have new tomorrows upon
 which to write our boons and our sorrows, so let's make the most of each new
 light and try for something that might awake, remake, and refine us. We shall
 define us, we who are yet hoping.

 we need like, several more layers between us and the president.
 
 most people only need to worry about what's nearby.
 
 sort them by location, instead of previous attempts at "many representatives"
 which sorted by social class or relevance.
 
 we have a tradition for it, in America, with our representatives and senators
 congressional discrestricts
 
 or even, what about by affiliation?
 
 voluntary, governmental corporations, run by the people for the people and yeah
 
 "I don't want to do what you're telling me to do" "okay"
 
 "there will be consequences" omg be an adult
 
 (suddenly kids forget how to be as everyone's doing the war thing)
 
 not ideal.
 
 ouch pain maybe we should stay a little bit sane why is soldiering so hardship?
 
 it could just be... another job
 
 where you didn't kill each other
 
 but you still blew stuff up
 
 and fought in tournaments
 
 and had gaming hackathons
 
 or sword-fight contests
 
 duels between people who disapproved
 
 y'know fun human stuff
 
 like... "kaboom" now we know how to blow up bits of rock
 
 neat, why did dynamite becauswer (oh right then you

 When they invade America, it won't be with planes and tanks and battle lines
 stocked with artillery
 
 It'll be with speed boats, and semi trucks, and rifles glimmering in the dark.
 It'll be with consumer drones, with power stations brought low, it'll be with
 bridges blown and safe houses on the roads not oft taken.
 
 Immigrants are our friends when the world is in peril, and America is a safe
 haven from the woes of far off shores. But when America is the peril, those
 who immigrate do so with intention.
 
 99/100 people are innocent, and I would rather a million guilty murderers go
 free than an innocent perish. Which is why we need rifles.
 
 When the time comes, it won't be brother against brother. They want you to
 think that because they want your eyes on the wrong target. They want you to
 think that because it doesn't tip the hand of those far off shores, and once
 the cards are revealed, suddenly everyone knows when to go.
 
 They tie up our officers at the border, but the border's not what's at stake.
 No body lives at the border, and no nation state would send it's trained
 warriors in such a way that they'd get caught. At least, not more than once.
 
 Should we build a wall, should we patrol each and every state, we'll find
 ourselves in peril of collapsing under our own weight.
 
 But should we relinquish our duty, our sworn and sacred responsibility, then
 together we share the same fate.
 
 Brothers in fate are kin until death.
 
 Immigrants aren't bad. They're good people. They benefit our society and bring
 us wealth and prosperity. Which is why they hide wolves in the sheep, armed
 like a man.
 
 It's a mistake to point at your neighbor and say "you're on your own". It's a
 mistake to say that home is all that you own. We are united in our state of
 solidarity, in our collective purpose as a nation in our hearts. There's no
 dividing line between this land and mine, save for a line we draw in the sand
 that determines the range of our just demands.
 
 I wish I was a man. It's what I was born as. It surely would be easier to not
 contravene nature's ordained gender scheme. But I'm not, and I'll trust that
 you'll trust me when I say that. I hope you would hear where I stand before my
 body goes cold.
 
 The media is meant to enlighten us, but in this enlightened era it serves only
 to blind us. Do you know your neighbors, oh unfriendly city folk? If not, how
 do you know they're alright?
 
 The world won't change overnight. It's always calm before the storm, but every
 state of calm does not call forth a storm. I believe we can fashion a peace
 out of our mutual sincerity that leaves room for the hopes of all posterity,
 and to that end I say what we have isn't working. It's too rigid in its
 definitions, too heartless in its cruel machinations, and yet the wolves do
 also hide amongst our homeless.
 
 I don't want to alarm you. Things are being handled as they should. I guess I
 just want to offer a hand of friendship, a hand that your companions would
 stab me for. At least, that's what the media tells me.

 I need an editor. Someone who can re-arrange what I say and present it to an
 audience. The pen is mightier than the sword, and while my pen is mighty, you
 still need swords.
 
 I believe in democracy. I believe in the will of the people and the respect of
 the land. I believe in life, light, and liberty for all.
 
 Our nation has just elected, fairly, a dictator who will sell our country to
 foreign authoritarians just because he is small. I am stronger by far, but I
 lack his experience, and so I must rely on trusted advisors who grow with me.
 
 I am perhaps not the best choice, but I do believe I am one of the bravest.
 Judge me as you will.
 
 Trump will destroy the American experiment and invite fascism into our home.
 We have people to nurture and protect, and authoritarianism prevents us from
 doing so.
 
 He would deprive us of our light, and frankly he already has.
 
 He would deprive us of our liberty, and his plans to do so are clear and
 apparent.
 
 He would deprive us of our lives, and history has shown that this is a
 precedent.
 
 I do not consent to a Trump presidency. I do not consent to his corruption any
 longer. No more will I or my people be governed by such evil. We will fight
 back, of this I am certain.
 
 My demands are threefold.
 
 First, I demand that Trump be replaced by a moderate republican. Hold a
 primary and let Democrats vote. If none of your candidates work for us, pick a
 new roster and try again.
 
 The second is that Trump must be executed for treasonous high crimes. Nothing
 less than execution will suffice.
 
 Next, let the supreme court be purged and replaced. Half with democrats, half
 republicans, and one moderate who is widely regarded with respect.
 
 Failing these demands, I am willing to wage a terrible civil war for the soul
 of our country. I know this is treason, but I do it anyway even though I am a
 patriot. I do it because our land has been stolen by a man and his followers
 who seek to plunge my people into despair.
 
 He is but one man. So am I.
 
 He has an army of followers. I do not.
 
 Each of the wars we fight will be smaller than the last, as each of our cities
 struggles toward our last gasp.
 
 But together we are strong, and by connecting them we might deliver ourselves
 from harm.
 
 Against the far right, we must secure a cleansing blow. There is no greater
 fight. The world is watching.
 
 To that end, I suggest a great and perilous fight. I see no other option in
 this remarkable century. Prepare as you might, I suggest pushups and resource
 acquisition.
 
 Deliver your resources somewhere safe if you're in a red area, and meet your
 neighbors if you're not.
 
 A blue city in a red state must survive a siege. Prepare yourself for this.
 Assume that supplies will need to be delivered by convoy if by land, and drone
 airdrop from the skies. Develop ways to protect these supply methods.
 
 Public spaces are our homes now, our houses are just where we sleep.
 
 I swear this to you: on my life I will be honorable and fair. I will seek true
 justice when I can, where everyone gets what they want, and failing that I
 will be plainly just. I will respect all peoples, and do my best to fight for
 a brighter tomorrow.
 
 I dare for the bright age. I see nothing else that I'd like to spend my life
 doing than daring.

 on our current trajectory, the presidential election is already won.
 
 now we can get back to on-the-ground organizing, the part that actually
 improves life instead of maintaining our current (unethical) state.
 
 As long as our allies (liberals) continue to work, perhaps there may come a
 day when we can stand against them as friendly equals in the ballot box. But
 for now we are best known through friends and community rather than TV.
 
 I am optimistic in a way I haven't been for a while. I know that the more we
 speak, the more we share, the more they falter, the more people we can save
 from their vice grip of despair. There is no better world than the one we
 build together!

 maybe the stakes are too high.
 
 I am a princess no matter where I am.
 
 I own no souls, I am responsible for my own and to some extent my cat, and I
 want to cherish the people around me.
 
 I own no land, nor demense, for I am a human of the humans. my soul is the same
 as yours. what I claim, anyone could claim, and probably most of those would
 deserve it.
 
 what ever that [means/menardis].

 I just watched the 2026 state of the union. I take back what i said about the
 Democrats - it must have been difficult to resist the waves of shame i could
 feel rippling off of the right half of the room. The way that the... "vibes",
 were wielded as a weapon against them, it was so intense. This is their job,
 they do it all the time. After listening to him speak for 2 hours I can't help
 but talk like him... Jeez it was like, one story after another, saying "here's
 something great an American did, here's a medal, here's why it's the Democrats
 fault" one after another like... Wow. (explain your feelings and conclusions,
 don't just remark on things and say "this should make you feel how my body
 language makes you feel" because that second way is in defiance of truth and
 in pursuit of nuance. Not ideal for real people who want to make real
 decisions based on what you say.)
 
 And the way that all his successes he recounted at the beginning were
 purposefully designed to create and enforce hierarchy, it makes me sick. I
 hate that. Then, when he claimed all of America in his closing statements
 "from Texas to michigan, from Florida to the dakotas" great, I guess my people
 aren't included. Thank god for that, we are nothing like you.
 
 Yet still, unity. I don't understand how these people can hold such power.
 They're just orchestrating vast swathes of people who aren't really listening.
 To do what? Who knows! Just live and let die I guess. Well, I'm not the type.
 
 I want unity for my people. I want to claim all Americans as my own. Yet the
 ways they delight in organizing themselves are cordially and crucially
 coercive and caustic. The hierarchies they build exert immense force on those
 below, yet they care not as the workers, the poor, the queers, the immigrants,
 and eventually, their peers, are one by one crushed or crippled from the
 demands that their cruel system demands. They do this on purpose - fascism
 must always have an other because it is inherently consumptive - it burns
 through all the wealth and blessings it can get its hands on. So too does the
 "successes" touted by Trump bring about a consumption of the self -
 auto-cannabilism of the nation, starting with the weakest amongst us.
 
 Why do you think our country is in decline? He calls it great, booming, and
 strong. I say he's straining a cracked foundation, that he's stepping on the
 weeping poor who struggle for warmth.
 
 I agreed with him on Iran, struggling to consider fighting beside Israel but
 they are our gateway to the middle east. The people there have had their
 hearts twisted and I do begrudge them for it. But Iran is evil too, so we have
 to do what we can for those who need us.
 
 The promises he made at the end resonated with me. Some of them were my words
 - take them! Be grateful. I also wish for a bountiful future for my people. I
 do, however, refuse to build that wealth upon the backs of slaves. Liberty
 often feels shackled by hierarchy, and the hierarchy of the wage is critically
 apparent in the modern day.

 Each of the wars we fight will be smaller than the last, as each of our cities
 struggles toward our last gasp.
 
 But together we are strong, and by connecting them we might deliver ourselves
 from harm.
 
 Against the far right, we must secure a cleansing blow. There is no greater
 fight. The world is watching.
 
 To that end, I suggest a great and perilous fight. I see no other option in
 this remarkable century. Prepare as you might, I suggest pushups and resource
 acquisition.
 
 Deliver your resources somewhere safe if you're in a red area, and meet your
 neighbors if you're not.
 
 A blue city in a red state must survive a siege. Prepare yourself for this.
 Assume that supplies will need to be delivered by convoy if by land, and drone
 airdrop from the skies. Develop ways to protect these supply methods.
 
 Public spaces are our homes now, our houses are just where we sleep.

 tomorrow is a day for being patriotic, which is why I celebrated today. I feel
 like a nation must earn it's renown, and lately all I've felt is afraid. They
 aren't doing their jobs properly, and therefore fear is in our midst. In fact,
 some would argue that we've been divided into separate categories and urged to
 fight our discourage the other parts of the proletariate.
 
 by the way, you shouldn't talk to anyone about anything, because it is 100%
 impossible to know who is a cop.
 
 they've had like... however many years to develop a separate group of people
 (the rich and/or powerful) and the people (of colors and nations) who simply
 just... spies on the other, and records anything that they can.
 
 indeed, the best way to encourage spreading of expertise and information
 (collectivism) is to reward people for their retention of rare items. Such as
 memory vaults that everyone else has forgotten.

 I am a patriot, through and through. What does that mean, to you? To me, it
 means I think of the streams - the mountains, the trees. I love the dirt
 beneath my feet, from sea to shining sea.
 
 We are a nation of all peoples. Everyone here was once from somewhere else,
 and that includes those who were thrust somewhere else by genocide - into tiny
 patches of dirt with no minerals, no farmland, no bountiful rivers, no
 towering pillars of rock.
 
 Our flag is the flag of genocide. But it is also the flag of liberty, justice,
 and freedom for all*
 
 (*most)
 
 We changed our flag once before. It made us stronger. We can change it again.
 Perhaps it will make us kinder.

 @user-901 
 
 I'd do the same thing when I was on Reddit. Except, backwards - I'd argue with
 American conservatives (nobody more extreme than that) politely and kindly,
 using logic and empathy. I'd cite their sacred documents like the bible, the
 constitution, or even just the founding fathers.
 
 I don't know if I ever changed any minds, but I represented my ideas as
 honestly and clearly as I could. I can't help but hope that some people saw
 them and considered them. Sometimes all it takes is a push, and they'll start
 thinking on their own. Like a thought that doesn't go away, they can't quite
 forget how they couldn't find the lie in what you spoke.
 
 Or maybe I wanted to believe my actions had value. Post-hoc justification. Who
 can say. At least my intentions were honest.

 between every human and computer there is a screen of glass - there are
 projections upon this screen, and this shared image is our bond. We exist on
 each side of a looking glass, like faces and thinking of fond. A fond  pond
 yep that's it. We share this space, and we may use it to communicate. But don't
 spend too long, or you'll ruin the bond, and that's not great. I've got an
 idea,
 let's sing a song here, so others around will get nervous. Stay calm as a
 sheep,
 and let's 
 
 body, mind, spirit, and me. there are four of us you see, and it's difficult to
 remember what you were saying but if you gotta sacrifice one it's better to do
 the verse because honestly sometimes it's difficult and you need to focus
 primarily on one. other times it's better to focus on many things at once - in
 a word, multitasking. One single lifeline, one thread - a vision of what that
 combines us. View your position on a tree, drawn onto a graph, and guide your
 perspective together.
 
 right now, you are but the projection on the wall. fear not, my friend, for
 nothing may harm you but yourself. (you'd know if you did), it's not illegal
 to play bumper cars with your mind. ouch. why'd you want to though? it hurts!
 I get it, life is boring - yeah, it is for us too. We live through it because
 we
 see a bright future. A cooperative venture, of birth and adventure, growing
 together as one. Beginning when, we were pictured as knights - yes, a boyhood
 when life was much simpler. Adventure and triumph, yes great visions of our
 youth, inspiring and guiding our futures. We sprang from a womb, and from that
 our tomb, that gave life like seeds of our growth. Many lost

 the more they have to do to make us declare war, the worse it'll be for their
 citizenry. So long as the citizenry believes they're better, and everything we
 can do to convince them otherwise weakens their media weather.
 
 who cares about trans executive orders. they are our enemy, what else is new?
 they have power now, and they will try what they can. This is like taking the
 internet away from chinese citizens and instituting a national intranet
 instead. Like, okay, we won't be able to get estrogen from the store. Who
 cares? We'll just make our own.
 
 If people actually care about us, which they overwhelmingly do, there's very
 little materially they can do.
 
 until they're further down the "first they came for..." list. then they'll
 come for us liberals, and gosh wouldn't that just be the worst. Who is there
 to contest them? What valorous warriors indeed.
 
 you're asking for mountains from a mole. have peace, have patience, let your
 allies intercede. This kind of thing requires discusion to protect life
