    I’d love to see it happen, I will support it in any way I can.

    Until such time as it does happen, as long as they continue milling about uselessly expecting maga to start following the laws any minute now and doing nothing else significant to obstruct it… Fuck em, they’re paying the taxes and powering the machine that is trying to destroy us.

      That’s an interesting one… I wonder how many people are seeing the chaos at social services and the IRS this year and just deciding not to pay taxes?

      Voting is only ONE of the ways to affect government.

        I considered the fact that tax fraud is basically allowed right now, but I’m somebody that gets a return so it wouldn’t make sense for me to not file. The taxes the guy you’re replying to is referring to were taken out of my paycheck without my choice, it’s not like I happily and willfully put money into an envelope every quarter to send to the government, and this isn’t a fantasy world where I can just choose to not work.

        You bring up a good point, but I’m not sure enough Americans are ready or aware, or desperate enough, yet, that civil disobedience is a thing. I hope they progress to using it very soon.

        Bananas in ICE vehicle tailpipes. Not paying taxes. Jamming ICE ‘snitch’ phone numbers with spurious reports … that sort of thing.

      Absolutely. I’m sick of pretending that American liberals aren’t compliant in this shit.
