      If it comes down to that, we’ve already lost.

      Right now, I’d advise people to do as much outreach as possible to people you know. If you’re on commercial social media, post a screenshot, put the link in a comment. Send a DM. Put up stickers.

      Building the level of support that would be necessary to win a revolution likely makes nonviolent paths such as impeachment possible.

      The guns are to prevent violent suppression of that public support. Not as a first choice.

          When the best places to spread the message of Resistance, like Reddit, have decided to actively comply and collude with the Nazis, we have to rely on other means to spread the message and give hope to those who think they are alone. Seeing stickers on poles and walls and bumpers as the go through their day, lets them know that there are others out there who are of the same mind.

          Its not the only weapon, obviously, nobody expects the war to be won with stickers alone, but it’s one piece of the puzzle that has a real effect. Propaganda is powerful, which is why the Reoublicans actively built the Conservative Propaganda Machine, which now fully controls the political messaging in America, as the Dems stood by, smugly scoffing, and totally neglecting their chance to answer it. Now they are 30 years behind in that game, and still haven’t even started to conceptualize a strategy to confront it.
