Cosa pensi che dovremmo fare, come cittadini medi? A parte le proteste/chiamate di chiamata/voto alle elezioni locali. Apprezzo qualsiasi idea e i tuoi pensieri

Talk to friends, family members and coworkers who voted for and continue to support the current administration. Broadening the opposition base is the biggest effective change you can make.

Vote with your wallet. On basically all issues. Don’t like Trump? Don’t buy American? Think the EU is not doing enough to stop climate change? Buy green. etc. etc.
Just want to remind americans that they had a war because they didn’t want to pay tariffs on tea
As French the gov personnal asset would be on fire and we’d walk on the presidential palace. And we are not armed.
I fucking don’t understand how you can be so passive instead of having balls and do the right thing for your country.
Have an armed Revolution?
I mean this kind of question is kind of reductive to answer since you said : “Other than protests/calling reps/voting in local elections.”
Talking with friends and families I suppose is the most immediate thing. Donating to figureheads, groups that oppose the current administration and provide alternatives.
The three things you barred our already help a lot. So other than that I’m not sure what else is there
Some people will say : “Armed resistance” or “Burn more Tesla’s down” very dangerous slippery slope though. Challenging the Trump administration through illegal means whilst they themselves are doing illegal things sounds unfair, but it’s the ethical and smart thing to do. You can’t win against the state through violence since they hold the monopoly of violence. Gotta do it through normative means
just watch the previous french protests
We cut the heads of kings over here
You have to replace the government with ordinary people but ordinary people would rather trust the same liars who they think they know rather than trust some average ordinary citizen
Sit back, grab some popcorn and watch the US destroy itself.
2nd ammendment 👀
If Trump was president of France…. There would be riot all over France right now…..
You guys lost the protesting culture you used to have in the 60’s to 70’s.. Your society became too conformist… You protest but you are scared of losing your jobs if it’s too long
We don’t give a shit if it’s fuck up our economy or as long as our leaders take us seriously
Escalate things.
Massive street protests
General strikes.
Boycotting every corporate enabler
Roadblocks.
Protest collumns.
Hell, even your January 6 rioters had the right idea if the election had actually been stolen as Trump claimed.
It’s not like the EU is safe from becoming like the U.S.! We are likely just lagging behind 5-15 years.

I’m not implying anything but your 2nd amendment is there to stop government tyranny, not kill or maime random assumed to be criminal people.
Firstly find common ground between the right and the left. They are two cheeks of the same ass, and hope to divide and rule
Prepare for the inevitable
I think there is a general disconnect between Europeans and Americans on scale. French saying they would riot in the streets is like saying Ohio would. The entire European continent is roughly the size of the us. That takes massive coordination to be effective. There are starting to be nation wide efforts but it takes time at the grass roots level to build and it is happening
Umm akshually ☝🏻🤓, a European.
I’d advise you to read the book ‘On Tyranny’ by former Yale historian Timothy Snyder (he and his wife both recently accepted teaching positions in Canada). He’s an expert on the holocaust and authoritarian regimes and the book was written about 8 years ago at the start of the first Trump presidency. The book has 20 short and practical lessons you can do when a regime is descending into authoritarianism or what we in all democracies should do to keep our systems alive.
A video with these 20 lessons, read by John Lithgow, was recently posted on Snyder’s substack. You can find it here: [https://snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-lessons-read-by-john-lithgow](https://snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-lessons-read-by-john-lithgow)
Are you really asking what you should do when your leader & his administration are, at least, facilitating genocide if not actually committing it and tweeting war crimes?
Really, you don’t know what you should do!
Vote for competent people for your country’s and European parliaments.
Well I kinda expected somebody to have shot the guy by now, American Presidents have been assisinated for less
They are doing something —the U.S. media is currently tiptoeing around it on the more liberal side and slamming protestors on the right.
It’s a huge problem though. The U.S. media is very much captured, and has been for quite a while. It was ranking 55th in the world for press freedom and that was in 2024. I’d say it will have taken a few plunges this year.
They don’t have the will
Trump is a legally elected president. So protesting against him as a president is not all that viable.
Primarily, you must decide what you are protesting against. To be against oligarchy – i.e. as the rule of the richest – is a bit vague as there are rich and powerful rulings classes on either side, and “trickle down” economics and philosophy of
“temporarily embarrassed millionaires” runs against real social cohesion and empathy.
American exceptionalism also does not help.
So – decide what you are against – let’s say – ruling by decrees – as Trump does at present – due to the national emergency.
A lot of these I think are actually within congressional and not presidential powers.
So – demand for Congress to re-instate it’s authority on a single precise subject.
Or – protest against his Greenland policy.
( Again I think it’s congressional domain to acquire territory and/or declare war, military deployment as well ..).
Find something that actually will motivate the majority of citizens and work from there – that does not mean that’s the most dangerous/ irritating thing he has done.
In practice – boycott and general or even limited strikes are a way to go.
Protests two weeks ago were the right way but they need momentum. A filibustering speach was another.
At present – there are so many things you can protest against – so you end up protesting against none.
