I’m sure that walking or standing around holding signs with passive aggressive messages on them will convince the regime to pack up and leave. That’s how the Nazis were beat the first time around, right?
The Nazis were beaten through foreign intervention. I’m guessing the same thing will need to happen here. Americans are more concerned with making themselves look good (and mainly disagree on whether passive sign-waving or Internet-tough-guy-ism is the best way to do that) than with actually damaging the bottom lines of the people propping up this regime.
A big part of their victory, is that the Weimer Republic had apocalyptic economic failings that allowed extreme politics to succeed. I suspect that the Trump Regime will suffer the same, so we might end up having antifa becoming the victorious party.
Of course, whether the antifa are good people is going to be dependent on me and others being there to fill the political void if the Trump Regime is obliterated. I want less Russian Totalitarianism and more Republican France to be the future of my nation.
The French republics that arose due to internal revolution (the first and second republics) were pretty brutal and oppressive in their own right and dissolved into authoritarian regimes before too long. The first one with any staying power (the third republic, which remained in place from 1870 until the Nazi invasion of 1940) was brought about due to France losing a war with Prussia/Germany.
A) Capitulate means to stop resisting. Protests are resistance, even if you personally think it’s too little.
B) If violence were to break out, where do you think it’s more likely to happen, out in the streets at a protest, or in the basements of people not willing to even leave the house to show their discontent?
C) How many punches have you thrown so far?
D) Random little acts of violence are likely to be suppressed by the pigs and the military. To be effective we need a plan. What better place are you likely to meet others willing to get off their asses and not just armchair quarterback the revolution than at a protest?

I wouldn’t be surprised by that. Imperial Japan had to be forcibly reformed into a democracy.
Before you bomb the white house maybe start with a protest.
tell that to every other previous protest
It was peoples capitulation and unwillingness to take a stand against the Nazi’s that allowed them to win.
If there had been mass protests things might have turned out very differently.
There were literal street fights with armed militias going against the nazis. It is just that the nazis won.
When violence is normalized it gives the advantage to the people most willing to cause suffering.

The American populace has capitulated at every turn.
Their “peaceful protests” have served only to embolden the Nazis by clearly demonstrating how little of a threat they pose.
Every American who isn’t throwing punches is complicit.

Wow, you managed to hit tired, overly-defensive responses #3, #4, and #5 in one post. Excellent. Great use of your energy right now.
What an empty zero effort response. I’ll give you one in return.
