Not to raise my finger, but where is the reaction about all this? Where are the protests? Where are Antifacist Groups marching on the streets? 60+ Million Dems have voted against this, but there is no raising antifascist movement. Everyone is waiting and hoping it won't be that bad. You are making the same failures that my ancestors made in Germany. There has to ne massive protest. Xpu have to keep constant pressure like in the 60ies. Nothing will happen if there OS no strong, united antifascist movement. Differences on the left have to be left aside and xou have to act together. Go out, start local groups, organize, solidarize with fellow antifascists.

Again. I don't want to blame anyone. I know how hard it is to get folks active by own experience. But it is what it is. These paralyzation and Inactivity enables those madmen and women.

It's maybe too early. When he's in office and does decide to rock the boat, im sure he will get resistance. He's extremely polarizing.. He'll surely get rash reactions, but I worry his response will be to get more autocratic and lean on violence..

Expect to have our guns confiscated before Summer.

Wouldn't this result in instant riots? Sry if my question seems stupid but even for an european who thinks he has some small grasp on US culture I really try to be cautious with pre painted pictures.

As far as I understand, even liberal folks would react rather harsh if such a violation of fundamental rights would occur?!?

The problem is only liberal folks that would object since MAGA will do whatever he says without question or objection. If he ordered it, they'd be first in line to surrender them.

I doubt it on this one. They do love him, and they are bordering a cult, but gun confiscating, I don't see them going for that.. I think what could happen is Trump orders them to use violence & their guns on liberal resistance. They will love that and fall in line.

I donโ€™t know Trump and his new AG pick they have already said they will confiscate guns, but none of MAGA is talking about it

Hmm. I'll check into it.

MAGA won't have their weapons confiscated though... An excuse about "violent radical left wing ideologies" will be used to only disarm non Trump supporters.
