If you support our government invading a sovereign territory and picking a fight with a longtime ally, you can **** right off!

Please send them there now in those clothes

No. That’s wrong. Donald Trump is way, way, way more dangerous than the guy on the bus yelling out loud to himself. I believe we should be using language characterizing him that acknowledges that, rather than language that reduces him to a mere run-of-the-mill annoyance. 

The fact that he is way more dangerous than the guy on the bus doesn't make him not a loon.

This press conference he's now giving is a really good example of how two things can be true at once. And that acknowledging malignant narcissism (especially in his old age) isn't a downplaying of the danger he presents.

These guys are already living in the Star Trek utopia. Do whatever they want. Travel everywhere.  Excess everything. They don't even need a replicator, just the blood,  sweat and tears of billions of people feeding their sick desires.

There is really nothing that can be done until January 2027.  JD Vance and Mike Johnson hold the keys to anything with the 25th and impeachment.  All the screaming and venting doesn’t matter.  He could stand at the WH podium in black face shouting the N word and then shoot a puppy. 
 

this is our world. Podcasts and the media folks and columnists are not capable anymore.  Their power is gone.

There is always something that can be done - while you can't physically remove the politicians, there are numerous other ways to demonstrate your objection.  Fascists (and bullies) count on the bulk of the populace apathetic to what's happening, because 'there's nothing I can do', or 'doesn't affect me, I don't live in that state'.  A couple of examples:


- Spend your money on local establishments, boycotting corporations / oligarchs that have offered bribes to the current administration.  No ordering from Amazon, cancelling subscriptions to Apple+ etc.

- Refuse to provide any political donations, to either party, until they grow a spine and take action, and telling them that on their email request.

- Attend town halls (even if your rep is a Dem) and demand more vocal and visual opposition

- Find ways of supporting target communities.  If you have a neighbor who's scared of going to the grocery store, offer to do their shopping for them - if you have the ability to assist / shelter someone who's fleeing perceived persecution in another state (such as trans/LGBTQ people), then find a way to do so.

- Publicly shun open supporters of this administration.  If you get a group chat invite to a Trumper's place for the Super Bowl, reply all with a message like "Sorry, plan on watching the game with people who don't support racist assholes"

 

Lots more examples - but as can be seen in Minnesota, fascism/authoritarianism struggles when confronted with active resistance.  Being visible and vocal in your displeasure gives freedom for others to voice their displeasure - because they know they aren't alone.
