Haven't heard nor seen an effective strategy from anyone in the position to resist or lead change. People are too comfortable.
I don't want everyone to suffer per-say, but it's really, really hard to look at this and think "Aannny day now, everyone's going to do something."
Nothing has been done, nothing is getting done. The isolated protests were passing fads with no momentum. Everyone in leftist spaces thinks we're somehow going to have a revolution without an inspiring leader, clearly-defined goals, or large-scale organization... and even if we pull that off we have to live next to the millions of people who voted for this and want this, and we have no plan for dealing with that even if we all got our way at once.
I cannot help but maintain the feeling that the only thing that will get everyone moving and working together at once is a lack of comforts. I don't think it has to be as dramatic as this stupid porg meme is making it out to be, but since nobody in large-scale, liberal, middle-class America is feeling the pain past increased prices and distracting news, the only thing that will get them moving will be a distinct shift in the comforts they have available.
I am open to alternatives, but I think a lot of the "nothing ever happens" crew is also secretly hoping the entire market crashes or the tariffs ruin America's workforce and logistics and we have a proper capital storming that leads to outcomes. Everyone is thinking it.
