I wish Sanders and AOC would take a more concrete approach to tackling this issue. Talk is cheap, now more than ever. Most Americans who are aware of the coup just need a rallying call.
They can’t legally say what needs to be done. Trump, and his entire regime, hold the monopoly on violence. They can commit torture, murder, rape, war, and genocide all they desire. Anti-fascists have to use the rule of law that doesn’t exist.
100% agree we have an unfair fight with an opponent who doesn’t play by the rules.
It’s their job to speak for the masses, that’s the point of being elected in a democratic authority. If only hushed whispers are spoken in a room full of aggressive baboons, who is going to hear that voice of reason? Law follows precedence and there is no precedence for a coup of the US American government, so what rule of law are they exactly following? The status quo? We need to get uncomfortable, only then will things change.
