After July 3rd<\/sup>, 2025<\/b><\/p>\n

Comes the independence movement<\/b><\/p>\n

Bryan Zepp Jamieson<\/i><\/p>\n

July 4th<\/sup>, 2025<\/i><\/p>\n

Between the infiltration of fascists on the Supreme Court (name the traitors: John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Amy Coney-Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh) and in Congress (too many to name, but almost unanimously Republicans, and willingness to either commit or bow to treason almost unanimous amongst those Republicans), there was only one result possible. The United States of America never stood a chance.<\/p>\n

The passage of the hideous, ironically named \u201cOne Big Beautiful Bill\u201d is the capstone to the collapse of America. Yes, it is cruel, vicious, and designed to punish the poor and weaken the middle class into insolvency. It increases the already hideously disproportionate disparity of wealth and power of the top 1% to levels that far exceed those of pre-revolutionary France or Russia. That comes at the cost of a trillion for health care for the people, hundreds of billions more to feed the poor, and education. It will make the US a scientific, intellectual and educational backwater. It will, in time, eliminate accessible health care for most of the population, and weaken and degrade public, secular schools into irrelevance.<\/p>\n

But the very worst part is that it erects the most efficient and oppressive police state in the history of the world. It provides more funding for the hated and vicious ICE secret police force than the US Marines get. Coupled with Elon Musk\u2019s vast, comprehensive data theft of virtually every government record on everyone in America, it makes for a vast and omnipresent police state that would make Josef Stalin groan with envy.<\/p>\n

Even now, I see people, mostly Democrats, chirping that the Republicans have really fucked up this time, and how we\u2019ll make them pay in the off-terms next year. These people are fools: the Republicans have absolutely no intention of holding free and fair elections. None.<\/p>\n

Some people take hope that the bill just signed into law delays some of the worst, most rapacious elements of the shredding of the social safety net until after November 2026, and point to that as a sign the Republicans are nervous about those elections.<\/p>\n

Nonsense. They just want to hold what will be utterly fraudulent and meaningless elections to make sure their apparatus of control is rock solid and that they need never worry about any election going forward.<\/p>\n

Oh, there will be an election. It will even look fairly convincing, in that Republicans will at least lackadaisically campaign, and if the people controlling the vote count are even half-way competent, the results will all fall into a convincing 10 point range for most of the Republicans. There may come a time when they can run unopposed and win 99% of the vote, like in the Soviet Union, but for now they have to pretend there\u2019s still a United States and it is still a democracy of the people. As long as people can PRETEND the country is still theirs, they are less likely to rise up, you see. To that end, Republicans will wave many flags and pound a few Bibles in order to keep their believers glassy-eyed.<\/p>\n

But they don\u2019t intend to allow the people to have a meaningful voice. The bill Trump just signed had an approval rating of just 29% during the final hours of debate. No bill still pending before Congress was ever more unpopular. Ever. And when you have people like Joni Ernst sneering \u201cWe all have to die sometime\u201d to people complaining that their children can\u2019t get necessary medical care, or the psychotically racist Laura Loomer talking about deporting all 65 million native Latinos with a grin from the president, you know they have stopped pretending. Trump spent yesterday complaining about how farmers were at the mercy of \u201cShylock\u201d bankers and crowing that he was going to throw a trashy UFC bloodfest on the White House lawn. They\u2019ve quit pretending. They can\u2019t be arsed giving a shit. They\u2019ve won, and they know it.<\/p>\n

But they still fear us. They know that if the people withdraw consent, and simply and peacefully refuse to cooperate, they cannot maintain power. The Soviet Union, the most efficiently oppressive regime in history, fell with hardly a shot being fired simply because the citizenry of the USSR withheld their support and peacefully resisted.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve said before that once-a-month demonstrations aren\u2019t going to cut it. People are going to have to go out every day and protest, and there\u2019s certainly no shortage of things people can protest. The worthless corporate media will largely ignore it, but the internet is building its own fourth estate. Corporate news is rapidly falling into the same niche as Pravda and Izvestiya did in the Soviet Union and RT does today.<\/p>\n

The government will make it harder and harder to defy. They may make demonstrating illegal, and even defiance of any sort. Who\u2019s gonna stop them? Clarence Thomas? Mike Johnson? The law will be what they say it is, and it won\u2019t be there to protect you.<\/p>\n

But there are hundreds of ways to resist. They still need you, and even though they\u2019ll never admit it, they need the support of the people in general.<\/p>\n

Make Trump supporters feel unloved. Don\u2019t miss an opportunity to discuss the failings and deceptions of the Trump regime. Make Trump supporters doubters, and eventually adversaries. When dealing with officials, drag your feet in every way possible. Do it legally, do it peacefully, but do it. And if they try to outlaw resistance, find less obvious ways of resisting, but never stop resisting. The apparatchiks of the Trump regime are human, and will slowly succumb to social pressure. Make them feel unloved.<\/p>\n

Trump is a dying man. He isn\u2019t plausible as the face of the fascist revolution now, and it\u2019s only going to get more and more strained as his mind, never much to begin with, erodes. While we don\u2019t know who will replace him, he won\u2019t have whatever cult following Trump still retains at that point, so keep the pressure on, and make it unceasing. Most of Trump\u2019s closest clique are weak and amazingly stupid opportunists, and they will make a lot of mistakes. Make them pay.<\/p>\n

This regime can be brought down in ways in which the founders of the United States would approve. But be prepared to be stubborn and unyielding. Make them feel unloved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
