Let me guess, guns? This is your moment to be the man you always knew you could be, to put on your Walmart tacticool gear and engage in gorilla warfare on the streets, to rise up the ranks of the resistance where you'll meet your 18-21 year old boyfriend-free girl and when it's all over, you'll be elected the mayor of America, and you'll add ANOTHER amendment saying we all have the right to bear arms (as a backup in case the other one gets repealed), and you'll even show leniency to those people who downvoted your internet comments because you're such a good person, and America is all that matters now.
I salute you, friend.
you're not interested in honest discussion. you'd rather make personal attacks. over the ineternet, of course. not in person.
Duh. I would never get between a lion and his meal.
Whatever crazy thing it is you're planning to do, just remember the shooting in Pennsylvania. That gave the Trump campaign so much credibility that it might have even won him the election. Even my neighbor replaced the American flag on his lawn with one showing Trump's face with a bloody ear. The GOP message is that there's a conspiracy/evil cabal trying to undermine America, and they're the good guys.
Large scale peaceful protests showing that America disagrees with their nonsense is much more powerful than any well-placed bullet. The former can lead to change and possibly even impeachments, the latter to civil war, death, and destruction.
the thing you don't get is that all those middle america people want a good guy. and they're gullible. so give them what they want. the american left looks like a bunch of cowards. if we believed in what we say we do, we wouldn't let this affront to humanity go unchecked. there needs to be consequences. but the fact that we're such pathetic pacifists looks like weakness and lack of moral fortitude, and it truly is. the entire fate of global civilization hangs in the balance and we post memes.
and even given some kind of miracle that somehow we politics our way out of this mess, those same idiots will still be here and this shit will repeat itself in 20 years. unless they fear us. this is the owner class flexing its sociopathic muscles in front of us. and we are letting them do it like humble peasants. and you're contributing to that.
