So what form does the resistance take?

[stanfr]

I’m now activistically switching my craft beer purchases from American producers to exclusively Rest of the World sources. Better variety, price and quality. That will show them!

Is the US craft beer scene MAGA or libtards?

Good question...the bars that serve beer are probably mostly MAGA, but microbrews originated in liberal strongholds like the West Coast--Seattle, Portland and San Francisco, in the 80s-90s and then spreading to the east in places like Boston in the 2000s. So I'd guess it might be somewhat liberal, but not hard left.

Can I recommend 'Orkney Ale'

Exactly. Because American progressives don't believe in rising up and fighting the good fight.

You mean go out and kill people?

Thanks. British ales are delicious, but I prefer American IPA. You can get fantastic IPA:s from Swedish and other European brewers nowadays.

British products should also be boycotted because of the Brexit idiocy

#LeavingMAGA is apparently a thing now, especially on Tikkytok. I have no independent verification of this.

TikTok, you say? No independent corroboration, you say? No source for your report, you say? Was it Facebook? Did Facebook tell about this TikTok trend?

In fairness, they are all over Twix, FB, insta and threads. They even started up a website recently:

Our Story - Leaving MAGA

Our Story We founded Leaving MAGA in 2024 to be a community and safe space for those who have left the movement, or have doubts and remorse about staying in MAGA but are afraid to leave.For the waverers, we have great news: if you reject the movement, your friends and family will welcome you back

I say I have no independent verification because I don't use TokTik and haven't seen it for myself.

It sounds like a Very Online phenomenon.

Social media trending tends to be. Definitionally.

Seconded. Beer appreciation is apolitical, but my observation is that MAGAs overwhelmingly are drinking Bud. Like, virtually 100% of the time, with only Coors light as a runner up.

Sorry to be so graphic, but it's true. Maybe I should have put a NSFL tag on that. They actually call that stuff "beer" with a straight face.

Apparently this is one form the resistance takes.

A joke petition seeks to help Denmark buy California as Trump eyes Greenland

A lighthearted petition to buy the state of California for Denmark prompted more than 200,000 signatures by Wednesday in response to President Donald Trump’s talk about taking control of Greenland, a vast and mineral-rich Arctic island.

I'd be in favor of this.

California is kind of nice. Surely there are other States we could just, you know, give Denmark a few bucks to take off our hands?

The 3.5% figure is being spread a lot on the web these days. Apparently that's the strength you need to sustain for days or weeks (through protests, strikes, demonstrations, boycotts, etc.) to topple a regime. In the US, that's roughly 11.7 million people. Could it happen anytime soon? I'm not optimistic, but then again I'm no expert at such things.

Right now, the resistance is taking shape in the form of social media outlets on Youtube, Bluesky etc...particularly impressive is the Allt National Park Service on Facebook--if you don't already follow them I recommend it! Here is their latest offering, with 3 million followers their posts get a lot of attention right out of the gate:
