I didnt see a single burning car in that video. They still arent anywhere near serious enough about saving their democracy.
If we start burning cars, we likely start getting shot. Remember this is the USA we’re talking about here. Maybe it needs to come to that, but don’t judge people for trying to avoid the kind of crackdown Trump would likely enact given any excuse.
Don’t you have guns too?
Here’s a reminder that the Black Panthers got started because cops kept violently busting peaceful unarmed protests. People realized that the cops would send in the jackboots to bust unarmed protests… But they would politely watch heavily armed protests from across the street. So they began arming protestors.
Turns out, firing into an unarmed crowd is super easy, but it’s not so easy when the entire crowd also has weapons. Maybe you take out a few with your initial attack, but you definitely didn’t get all of them and now they can return fire.
It’s also why republicans started modern gun control with the Mulford Act. It was (at least at the time) the most restrictive gun control law the country had ever seen. When politicians saw armed protestors on their front porch, and saw cops entirely unwilling to stop it? They got really fucking sweaty really fucking fast. Ronald Reagan (yes, the same Reagan that conservatives love to put on a pedestal as the paragon of conservative policy) enacted the gun control law to disarm protestors and give cops justification to bust armed protests. Now, instead of busting the protest directly when it’s happening, cops could wait and quietly follow the protestors home, then kick in their front doors while they were eating dinner… Sound familiar?
This pushed the armed protestors underground, and formed the Black Panthers.
Some people choose to have guns. They’re not cheap, and not everyone over here is willing to kill someone else.
I get that people have a self preservation instinct, but they will just slowly get cooked in the frog pot instead. I hope i am wrong.
I don’t think you are wrong, sadly :(
I don’t encourage anyone to sacrifice themselves on the alter of idiocy either. Be tactful out there.
Don’t stop until he’s reached the river Styx. Seriously
Would that be enough to serve justice, though?
I’d prefer to see him working for a living like the rest of us, but we all know he’d unalive himself if he had to support his own ket habit.
Save the country first, get justice afterwards
Ok but, Trump literally said this was the plan, and he’s giving permission for all of it. So, I see three options here:
Either you voted for this, you voted against this, or you didn’t care enough to vote against it and are probably fine with this.
Regardless of vote status, I think it’s important for Americans to exercise their first amendment right to protest anything they wish, including their disapproval of governmental actions.
It may be too late to right the ship heading for the rocks, but it’s imperative to try.
If it’s to late for the 1st amendment then we just go on to the next one…
and this game-of-blame does help in what way? The People of America need to do something against this lunacy!
Well I never voted for it to begin with, but honestly, even the people that were stupid enough to vote for him didn’t really know what the plan was because Trump never actually stated any specific policy goals. That should have been their first clue to not vote for him
I know it’s in bad taste. But… I wanna imagine everyone is just out there in the cold giving speeches about how bad he is at video games.
