MODERATORS
Because it's effectively already happened. The judiciary is fully illegitimate and holds dictatorial power; whether it wields that power now or in two years or in four years barely matters since nothing we can do will prevent it. You can put all your energy into the unfixably broken electoral system in order to barely slow the rot, thereby legitimizing that system, or you can accept now that America is DEAD and begin acting accordingly.
Act accordingly how?
That's up to you to answer, fam. Depends on where you are and the conditions there, as well as your own ideology and your material/class/social conditions.
Sure, but I was hoping you'd give an example of what you're doing
I am developing a self-sustaining eco-socialist community in rural Montana. This is only possible because I was lucky enough to have a friend who sold me property cheaply and then to come into enough of an inheritance to pay it off. Your mileage will absolutely vary.
Hey uhh how big is this community going to be? Montana is the most beautiful state I've been in.
get some people together to buy the adjoining property and it could be a lot bigger
if the hexbear commune in liberal mountain doesn't invite me i'm gonna be so mad 😡
Death to America
Is it far from Helena?
Depends on your definition of far
OK, create a circle centered on the state capitol. Which multiple of 50 represents the radius in miles required before the circle is big enough to contain the community?
4
By my own definition that's pretty far away, but I'll ask my cousin what he thinks.
Hopefully there's rivers or a lake nearby for when the nukes start dropping
Death to America
If it is possible, emigrating to a safer country?
No country in the global north will be safe.
This is my first thought as well. I have plenty of fairly close relatives in the USA, and if there was some viable method other than, like, them flying here and then refusing to leave — I would see that every single one of them would be moved here.
