The Resistance Playbook

That's a real question that we need to consider given the fact that we have seen that Republicans in the House and Senate are basically lockstep and rubber stamping everything that the Trump administration wants.

One of the things that I would recommend is you checking out the article.

"So you've been invaded a French Resistance Survival Guide for the us". This was written on a Substack by Lady Liberty as part of the American pamphlet tier Substack. And without going into the whole thing, there's a lot of things that. The author mentions that I think it's worth considering.

So the scenario that the [: 00:01:00

And one of the first things that they mention is that you have to accept the fact that the official government is.

Not gonna function in any meaningful way, any sort of formal opposition. So these might be your elected officials are likely going to lay over. And we've seen a little bit of that happen already, where democrats in Congress have worked behind the scenes to make sure that there is backdoor agreements in place so that everything that the Republicans want get passed.

ions that Republicans in the [: 00:02:00

Where does that leave us? What that means is that you have to identify and align yourself with people who are still vocal and active and working in good faith to resist the fascist takeover. I.

The next thing that the author mentions is keep an eye out on which institutions are gonna get hollowed out first.

And this is where it gets interesting. We're operating under the assumption that, if ever this was to get ex escalated, there's no way the military or the police would turn against its own citizens. And that's a dangerous position to be in when we're talking about. The military, police forces, media, all of those entities rely on paychecks from their corporate overlords.

They defend the property owners, not the citizens that are being oppressed.

Similarly with the military has sworn an oath to the constitution and they're are certainly some folks that will likely honor that oath if ever the orders were given to turn their sights on the citizens. How many would actually stand and fight on the behalf of the citizen? Because think about it, these folks have families, they need a paycheck, they need to pay the bills, and it wouldn't take a whole lot of pressure from the appropriate sources to change their minds and have them just follow orders.

So when you take those two things into consideration, the official government will fall in line. So you have unofficial channels that you need to identify. Major institutions like the media the media and the press, law enforcement and the military will likely fall in line with whatever regime takes over that leaves the citizen as the last line of defense.

And really, when you think about it, the citizens are also the first line of defense. And active citizenry is what's required for a healthy democracy. And what have we seen over the last 40 years? We've seen more and more people. More and more citizens become disengaged and fall in their trap that both sides are the same.

It's the two sides of the same coin. It's the two horns of the same goat.

Whether that's sabotage, slowing down work rates, building underground networks, civil disobedience, any and all of that is on the table.

So when you think about what is necessary to fight back against a fascist takeover, that's just scratching the surface of what they get into in that substack. I would recommend that everybody check out the full article and and use that as a little bit of a basis or foundation for what our game plan should be going forward. I'll include it in the show notes and hopefully we can use that as a guide for some of the things that we should be doing going forward.
