Yoon was in an incredibly weak position, with the legislature and courts both opposing him, and most of the military openly refusing to comply with his martial law declaration.
If Congress, SCOTUS, and the vast majority of the military was opposed to Trump, we wouldn’t be even close to where we are.
Yoon’s insurrection was more of a last-ditch Hail Mary to avoid what was already coming. It was his J6, and protests aren’t what ended it; the legislature voted to cancel martial law immediately, and the courts sided with them.
There is nothing in the fascist playbook that requires the other side to resist with violence. They can fabricate all the pretext they need to inflict violence on people themselves, and they already have been in the U.S. Historically, violent resistance is how countries remove their fascists.
ELI5, please, how exactly would violence do anything but play into the fascist playbook?
How would not engaging in self-defense against an already violent fascist machine do anything other than play into the fascist handbook?
They rely on people rolling over so that they can dominate them.
How many fascist leaders have been brought down by signs and chants from the sidewalk?
Worked in South Korea.
