The absolute least we can do is force them to jump through the hoops. Like, I get that it feels pointless but it’s better than just giving up and letting them do whatever they want.
They WANT you to feel like there’s no point so that you’ll give up. They want you to give up because that’s the easiest way for them to win. Why give them the satisfaction? They haven’t actually won yet, but even if I can never win I’ll won’t give up no matter how impossible the victory, and neither should you.
Also it helps build up a solid case if shit goes to civil war, easier to get international aid if the list of things the feds have done is long and itemized. Also helps justify it to the population both within and without such anti trump territory.
If you have even a few hours of spare time, read the Communist Manifesto and Lenin’s “What is to be done”. The latter one is a bit harsh and not entirely agreeable, but proposes effective techniques of class warfare.
Almost half of young adults (historically, this is the demographic that will be effecting the revolution) in the US agree that socialism is good, it’s just that almost nobody is willing to do anything to achieve it because they feel alone and disconnected. Build the connections, build the communities. Join the PSL or any other socialist/communist/anarchist org near you.
More practically, learn how to operate & purchase a weapon. It might be needed in the coming years, even if just for self-defense. If history is anything to go by, the fascists who gain power are not going to stop at the current level of violence.
So the grants must be reinstated.
They’ll just appeal it to the supreme court who will rule that actually it’s totally cool

So we should give up, dig a hole and stick your heads in? I’m not a giving up sort of person. But if that’s your preference, go for it. smh

I like that, by “must” do you mean still optional?
And when they aren’t?
