Insurrection against a liberal government is easier than insurrection against a fascist government. I don't want to have to deal with Trump's Proud Boy Gestapo on top of all the challenges the revolution already faces.

I don't remember Trump’s Proud Boy Gestapo killing everyone during the 2020 BLM uprising.

“You know what? It’ll be fixed! It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote any more, my beautiful Christians,” he said with a slight shake of his head and his right hand pressed against the left side of his chest.
He added: “I love you. Get out – you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”
Trump’s remarks – delivered not far from his Mar-a-Lago resort and home – were immediately met with consternation in some political quarters.
The constitutional and civil rights attorney Andrew Seidel, for instance, replied to video of Trump’s comments circulating on X by writing: “This is not subtle Christian nationalism. He’s talking about ending our democracy and installing a Christian nation.”

The stakes are a little higher this time than in 2016. The plan is bolder. The future will not be like the past.
