 The phrase "one of ours, all of yours" apparently a Nazi phrase, used by one
 of the Trump officials.
 
 Just means we get them all in one hit. It's a big ask. Maybe we just take her.
 "use Nazi propaganda? Knowingly? In an official capacity? Okay in 2026 that's
 basically a request to be disappeared."

 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.

 If you're radical enough to consider yourself "antifa" then you are probably
 working as hard as you can. I wouldn't ask you to do more.
 
 We must demand that others work for our future as well. It is unreasonable to
 demand so much of us. We must be funded and supported if we are to mobilize,
 and we must have the freedom to move and organize if we are to contest our
 enemies.

 They may return to us if they choose, when they realize that we were right all
 along.
 
 Otherwise, they might feel disenfranchised and choose to disengage. That is
 expected and allowed.
 
 Others amongst them might go right. Fuck 'em, they always cared for gold over
 lives.
 
 You are right, their methods have not worked. They have sustained our society
 up to this point and for that I thank them - but we are entering a new age for
 our country, and we shall build it as a federation.
 
 They are more than welcome to observe and offer insight from their years spent
 observing and wrestling with Republicans, but understand that much of their
 insight is dealing with their elite class of politicians and not with who you
 and I might come across on the street.
 
 They are encouraged to learn from us. To do otherwise is at best to neglect
 our only route to a bright future - at worst it is to obstruct us, to delay
 us, to keep us running in circles.

 That is essentially a declaration of war.

 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!

 those billionaires are using their money as a weapon to "vote" toward what
 companies they think capitalism would most grow from. Unfortunately for us,
 they often aren't very efficient because they're only looking at what sells.
 
 human interest is not the only factor to optimize for, and yet that's the only
 one they're incentivized to.
 
 kinda makes me think that the only reason to replace them would be to
 institute something that could not be incentivized because it was more
 objective or decentralized.

 One takeaway I learned is that it is vital that we have strong community
 bonds. Not just a healthy community where you can walk outside and see
 friendly faces, but you have to know people.
 
 Whether that's achieved through some kind of revolutionary vanguard party or
 whatever, or just... being together and learning and growing to sing one
 lifetime of song, either way we need each other.

 You've developed a crucial insight here. Fascists aren't the opposites of
 communists, they're not trying to make the world better by altering or
 updating their governance systems.
 
 They are trying to kill people. To gather power. The mislead and betray. They
 seek destruction and little else. They are evil.
 
 Not everyone who votes for Trump is evil... They might simply have been lied
 to, repeatedly, and never given a chance to think anything else. But their
 movement will bring us fascism, so, they are enemies to those who value a
 fair, just, kind, rational, and developing nation.
 
 They are few. We can win, I know it to be true.

 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.

 unless you meant canada. I vote no on that, because there's very little
 difference between there and here. I mean, it's colder, which is nice. But
 don't move because of politics or whatever. We can handle that.

 African Americans have done more than enough to be considered native to
 America. Stop treating them as second class citizens just because you are
 different. They are the same as you in some respects, better in others, and
 worse in others. That is what it means to be *similar*, yet *distinct*.
 
 Deal with it.
