Revolution is an absolute Right in this country. Which means We can overthrow our government and they will never have the probable cause to arrest us.

WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF?

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

#unite #fight #revolution #wethepeople

We the People united against all enemies, under one cause, moving in one direction, with one goal, are invincible. This is the home of the brave and the land of the free. No one is coming to save us, help us, or stop us. Start up the militias. Get brave, live free.

Revolution is the solution.

Revolution by definition is costly in human terms — it could be on the table, but as the last resort. Let’s get through the midterms first. If the Trumphukians fuck with that then …. Hit the streets.

Remember that old saying in this country, hesitation will get you killed? Apprehension, waiting, and delaying could mean the end of us all. "A stich in time..." It's wise to start now. The elections will still happen, but we must be prepared. The time to start is before, not after. By then it's too late. Get what I'm saying?

One thing I think will happen: There will be more Luigi Mangiones hunting down and killing corporate overlords. I predict this not as an endorsement, even though I find it hard to grieve for the CEO of a health insurance company that kills people through red tape and claims denials rather than guns. But it becomes almost an inevitability when people find that corporations have captured government and the courts and use their power to hurt ordinary people. What Mangione did is a corollary of what RFK said: Those who make peaceful evolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.

Unfortunately this is likely … especially vulnerable are the racist nihilistic bazillionaires who think somehow they are above the law …

You are describing the movie Dumb & Dummer it seams. If we let them continue, the rich will control everything. We MUST get out & vote them out of office before the damage is irreversible. Strength thru voting is our future.

Richard Van Atta's avatar

Agree — and however can get out to vote and are allowed to vote and our votes are counted.

Wayne's avatar

We have to try to beat him by voting early or in person. If anyone needs a ride, please help them.

This is our first “last hope”…. After that — Katy bar the door….

It is ALWAYS about money and power. Trump is still trying to prov,e to his long-dead father, that he is worthy of Daddy's love. He is doing that by hoarding money, stiffing his creditors, and treating everyone who reminds him of Father Fred-from Vladimir Putin to Steve Bannon, with utmost deference. The other oligarchs see this and are cashing in on money and power, while they can. The Bastille, however, will still be stormed.

Thanks for your informed leadership in the Substack community.

Angry people and overthrown government? Actually the people SHOULD be pissed watching the one in the White House and his nepo babies make tons of money doing all sorts of crap. Meanwhile regular people are paying too much for food, too much for gas and too much for shelter. I think I'd be a bit pissed myself.

Richard Van Atta's avatar

More than pissed!

Madder than hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!

P J Johnston's avatar

Yes indeed Richard!

There's nothing "FREE" about our markets anymore the monopolies and vertical integration have turned capitalism on its head and with citizens United elevating corporations to citizenship we are now a captured market with the next generation of technology (AI) set to reduce corporations reliance on labor these modern day robber barons have pulled the ladder up behind them!

Richard Van Atta's avatar

Unfortunately you are correct. The Robber Barons never disappeared—they just morphed into Internet Tech Bros.

They have been aided and abetted by market manipulators and real estate fraudsters and scammers of all sorts.

We need Teddy back!

Bully!

G B's avatar

Absolutely I can't believe the historical ignorance Trump displayed in comparing himself to Teddy, one broke up the monopolies and trusts and the other owns part of them it blew my mind watching that!

Richard Van Atta's avatar

Trumphuk is a complete ignoramus as well as psychopathic idiot.

The contrast between vigorous Teddy who loved the environment and was an original Progressive and the slovenly ruinous Trumphuk is immense.

After Air Force major

Jason Watson stood up to little dick do you not think the tide is turning? The military you were afraid would come after you, may not!

Richard Van Atta's avatar

The kiss ass Dems have to go. We need assertive fighters who won’t take PAC money especially from Zionists fronts (I’m half Jewish but reject organized religion and especially Zionism). Any Dem who will not say they will vote to impeach and convict Trumphuk must be defeated.

OUR DEMOCRACY IS AT STAKE.

Richard Van Atta's avatar

There’s hope …. I’d like to see top generals … the entire JCS stand up and tell Putrid Hogsbreath, “Stand down you worthless creep, if you don’t we will march you out!”

Not without CIVILIAN LEADERSHIP....

VEE LAVALLEE's avatar

It’s never going to happen because “middle class” America will not allow it. They are there to serve the oligarchs of America or they lose all their shit.

Richard Van Atta's avatar

Civilian leadership requires COURAGE! Who is willing to setup against oligarchic autocracy? Who is willing to demand removal? We need to break through the morass. First we need to overwhelm them

In the midterms. Then we need to go at them tooth and tong with investigations and reverse their agenda with legislation.

VEE LAVALLEE's avatar

I agree whole heartedly with that!! Yet the dems are fighting tooth and "tong." WITH the rethuglicans against that outcome because they know which side their bread is buttered on. They certainly don't want it to fall on the buttered side because it'll be very messy. Stop allowing corporations a seat at they table just because they are rich and you don't think you can win an election without it! Mamdani did! Also as I'm sure you know, so have many newbie dems.

Richard Van Atta's avatar

And where is that??? Who is that?

VEE LAVALLEE's avatar

It's those who have accumulated and paid off their debts. Certainly not those living with it because they are consumed with worry about where the next dollar is coming from. So that leaves the "surviving" middle class. Of course they won't because they care about keeping their small bit of wealth to last them for the rest of their lives. This means that the "mad max's" of America have won. They aren't using guns with bullet belts slung across their chest. They just need to pay somebody else from their hoarded wealth. I'm sure by the time they decide they need yet another mansion and another plane it must all become oh so boring..... So why not up the anti for boredom? Elect a prez who is also bored with kicking people in the teeth. The way they smile at those cabinet meetings tells me this is the most fun they've had in decades!

DEFO!

Remember that 2/3 of billionaires supported Kumswalla in 2024. We know exactly who the oligarchy is. Do you think Singham will escape his fate? He won’t.
