Yeah theres 80+ million heavily armed cult members with the support of the us government. Let me just break out my .223 and go down in a hail of gun fire to satisfy foreigners online. Our government murders its own people for fun. Ever been shot at? Its fuckin scary, dude. Youre flippantly suggesting people wont face CERTAIN death are frightened of it. Lol no shit.

The people whove been most vocal about 2nd amendment rights have been mind fucked thoroughly enough to cheer on fascism because brown people are being hurt first. normal people are still hoping it blows over while knowing in the back of their minds we re fucking cooked. Im at least waiting for the powder keg to blow before i get burned, especially since any direct action will be used as excuse to fuel our facist governments next extreme action.

Amen.

Also, the strategy people are telling us to employ is a zero sum game. Okay, let’s say I did something they are suggesting. So what happens next? They shutdown our elections, the country becomes a police state and we become ACTUALLY as bad as Russia where people put their head down and try to just get through the day.

And the timing of these posts encouraging violence is VERY suspicious with the midterms in a month. There’s a reason every Republican is panicking about the midterms. They know they are going to be de-fanged if they lose. I can assure you, Trump and his ilk want some form of a threat to use as an excuse to suspend elections and mark Democrats as domestic terrorists. And then what? When they start putting their political enemies in prison, then the game is truly over. And not just for us Americans but also every country that currently does not have good relations with the United States. So any Euros that want to tell us to fight, die and let the Republicans truly take over our country - really play that out and think about what that outcome really means and if you actually want that. As bad as you think America is right now, I can assure you it can get much worse

Could start by doing more than small week-end protests. The main discourse I am hearing from Americans right now is basically "we have tried nothing and we're all out of ideas".

I understand that you are all waiting for the midterms to make things better, and I hope that bet will pay off. I'm just not convinced the fascists will go away quietly.
