Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Maybe it's time for you Muricans to stop protesting the Murican way and learn a little bit from 1, your own history circa 250 years ago 2, french history from roughly the same period
No, it's not time, yet.
What amateur foreign "advisors" don't understand is that we have at least two important Constutional checkpoints to get through first - the 2026 Midterm Election, and the 2028 Presidential Election. Those are our final two opportunities to turn this nation around, and ALL indications are that they will go the right way, and with courage and decisive action from our elected leaders, we can still save America. We owe our nation, our Constitution, and our history, to do this properly, by the book.
But that's a big "IF." MAGA will make sure it doesn't go smoothly, and cause as much trouble as they can. They will do literally anything to remain in power, including cancelling elections. We have NEVER cancelled an election and n this country, not during WWII, not even during the Civil War. That is a BRIGHT RED LINE that they cannot cross. If they attempt to cancel elections, it's INSTANT Civil War.
So we will try to do it by the book, and let our elections do the talking, but MAGA is the world's greatest chaos agent, and they will definitely make it difficult. No matter what they attempt, we must stay on the legal Constutional path until that journey is either completed or forcibly removed.
Very, very interesting that you're advocating for civil war. I wonder whose interests that could possibly serve.
When tyrants don't leave on their own accord, what are you to do? Protest even harder while they laugh from their helicopters and private jets, surrounded by private security, isolating themselves from the people they try to rule? What good will protesting harder do?
The protests have grown by a million people with every event, give or take. They show the people who have a problem with this shit that they're not alone, and more and more people have a problem with all this. The protests show the people in power right now that we are not going to lay down and take it, like you lot want to keep saying we are.
And, what does protesting actually accomplish? In Nazi Germany, it got 1,800 Jewish prisoners released: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenstrasse_protest
So if you really want these fuckers gone as badly as the rest of us, how about you take your defeatist crap and keep it at home with you? It's not helping anyone except the fascists.
Not sure the French Revolution is the best example given what happened immediately afterwards
