#DISRUPTJ20 ACTIONS ACROSS THE US AGAINST THE TRUMP REGIME
What is happening in the United States is unprecedented. All aspects of the American ruling structure: the government, the police, the economy, political parties, and white supremacy are being called into question, physically attacked, and in many cases, being found to be illegitimate by a large majority of the population. Riots, blockades, and occupations of land have become commonplace as the rhythm of struggle remains constant. People are starting to find each other, and their own power. Across the US, popular assemblies spring up in cities to make decisions outside of State and police power, as trainings are held on everything from healthcare to self-defense, bringing in hundreds, as the far-Right responds with wave after wave of violence and attacks to try and keep the people subservient to the State. But a new power is rising.
As Trump prepares to take the reigns of power, he seeks to rule over a deeply divided nation that by and large, doesn’t want him. The elites favored Clinton because she represented someone who could potentially keep a lip on social peace at a time of massive unrest; Trump on the other hand thrives off chaos and seeks to pick fights with the very population he wants to rule. Already, his approval rating has slipped farther and farther as more and more sectors of society become activated against him. Previous groups that were excited about Trump now see their jobs, health-care, and very lives and freedoms in danger. At the same time, the so-called Alt-Right subculture which helped propel Trump into office is tearing itself apart, while other far-Right formations blindly march lock and step behind their new leader, ready to serve as an extra-legal force to the State, using violence if necessary.
Meanwhile, the Left is speechless, as the institutional, reformist, bureaucratic, and policy based organizations and formations have literally no idea of what to do or how to proceed. Having based their activity around non-profit fundraising, single-issue activism, creating meaningless spectacles for the sake of getting media attention, and trying to pressure the Democrats for basic policy changes, the Left now finds itself at a loss as to what to fucking do. Having spent decades simply turning people out or milking them for funds, the reformist, electoral, and non-profit Left is now seen as the dead weight that they are. Everyone from Bernie Sanders, the entire DNC, the Green Party, to the entire engine of American democracy is seen as bankrupt, a sham, and a complete and total waste of time.
In other words, the situation is excellent.
