Summary
Nationwide protests erupted as postal workers opposed plans to privatize the USPS and cut 10,000 jobs.
The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) organized rallies in over 200 cities, condemning the proposed merger with the Commerce Department and collaboration with Elon Musk’s DOGE.
Lawmakers like Senators Dick Durbin and Tina Smith joined demonstrations, calling the changes unconstitutional.
USPS employees fear losing jobs and essential public services, especially in rural areas. Trump and Musk defend privatization as efficient, but critics argue it endangers vital community functions.
This is exactly what Mango Mussolini and his ilk want. They will then declare martial law across the entire country and accelerate Fascism. The USA is slightly smaller than all of the EU in square miles or kilometers. The entire EU. Not just some tiny nation like Germany that is smaller than some US states. Couple that with how the US economy is rigged so people lose their health insurance, medications, and die if they aren’t working, it makes it extremely difficult for people to up and stop working to travel 3000 miles to destroy buildings.
Much better to rally every American citizen to just collectively get on the same page and play a long-game. This will take some time as MAGA comes to realize how wrong they were on their gambit to hire a felon with no business acumen, and they need to be welcomed back into the fold. They’ve been fed a stream of information poison for decades, so it isn’t surprising how they were led astray, really.
Getting 300+million people scattered across the vast lands all on the same page makes it much simpler. Once a critical mass is hit, just stop doing anything. Employers can’t hire scabs if nobody is working. The entire US economy crashes to a halt. Those billionaire losers can whine and complain on deaf ears as their profits evaporate. Once they realize the President really never had any power, and shouldn’t, those pearl-clutching oligarchs that care about their profits will start understanding who they should have been respecting and listening to this whole time.
Many are already stocking up on supplies, medications, food, due to supply chain disruptions to come from “tariffs,” arbitrary bans on classes of people, and other wacko illegal crap being pulled. The country will be organically ready to stop playing their games in under a few months.
America has literally no rulebook for this scenario. Big change will have to happen to fix it unless the US states grow a collective spine. Arbitrary violence likely will not effectively accomplish that goal.
As for the “Don’t Tread On Me” larpers, they’re just loud larpers - they are a tiny subset of the US population. Maybe they’ll grow a spine, maybe not, either way they’ll be welcome if they want to wake up and actually defend that 2A they purportedly respect.
So… do nothing? Get on the same page and play along? Big change will have to happen to fix it? Arbitrary violence? The people are supposed to be the government. They are supposed to have the right to protest when the government is not acting in their best interests. If peacefully protesting creates violence, I suggest that violence comes from the government—not the people.
