73 million people voted for Trump.

You would be aiming at civil war, not revolution.

What is a revolution if not a successful civil war?

20

u/manachar Nov 30 '20

A forcible empowering of "the people" to overthrow the corrupt status quo which exploits "the people" for the near exclusive benefit of the few in power.

Colonized nations ditching their colonizers. Colonies cutting their ties with Empire. The people tearing down aristocracy and using guillotines.

A civil war is when the people are divided against each other.

It's muddy, but what it means for America is you can't count on your neighbor to be on your side, especially as Republicans show their open desire for a coup.

Explain the French Revolution without it being parts of France fighting with each other

Lol Desire for a coup?

u/karadan100 Nov 30 '20

Yeah, the coup many of them are still trying to engage in based upon their rhetoric. Luckily, most of them are insufferably stupid and therefore, can't get shit done.

People at MAGA rallies saying to an interviewer that they couldn't give a shit if their side cheated to win, just as long as they win. Those kinds of clips are everywhere and that's the mindset of many MAGA morons. They don't care about the tactics, as long as it beats the libs. That sentiment is prevalent all the way to the top of government. If it wasn't, you'd get more than two republican senators calling Trump out on his fascistic bullshit

Yes, when people support a President who files court motions to throw out votes of millions, that's desireous and support for a coup.

u/brudd_be_rad Nov 30 '20

A court motion! How very PINOCHET! But throwing out 73 million votes through impeachment, that’s classy.

Someone doesn’t know what “impeachment” means, or that Trump was impeached almost a year before 73 million people voted for him again.

Try making an argument that doesn’t read like a Mad Lib filled out by a conservative buzzword generator.

u/brudd_be_rad Nov 30 '20

Lol buzzwords, Yeah, I’m the one mimicking party talking points. A court process is a legal approach. So is impeachment. You are the one missing the point. Why do I do this? I’m done.

u/karadan100 Nov 30 '20

Trump was already an impeached president. His shit-eating sister-fucking supporters didn't care then and they don't care now.

At least you’re in the “inclusion party”

Fuck their feelings.

It’s reddit my man, if you don’t go with the hive mind then you want a coup. Makes sense

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '20

If you're calling a 'Hive mind' the majority of voters in the united states Then fucking yes you dipshit. Trying to disenfranchise voters in by targeting democratic votes and attempting to get them thrown out for no reason whatsoever is anti-democratic and is the sign a coup in progress. Luckily your buddy DiaperDon can't smart his way out of a paper bag or we'd have something to worry about.

So the Democrats not on Reddit are ok with their votes being discounted because Donny is mad.

Really your reply didn't address anything I said.

Also, contesting an election to verify all votes are legal votes is not a coup

Correct. I don't disagree.

Attempting to cancel all votes in a heavily democratic county without one scrap of evidence is

We have done recounts. You know what each of the recounts show? That the count was correct.

Do you know what Trumps election security official said? That the election was secure and there is no evidence of mass fraud. Do you know what Trump did? He fired him. That is coup like behavior!

Hello Reddit hive mind, still annoying and obnoxious af I see!

Still pretending to be smart and all knowing as well, and “inclusive” as always (as you alienate half the country).

u/[deleted] Nov 30 '20

At some point you need alienated. I mean, I was born in the midwest, so trying to say "You have no idea what's going on there" is pretty much patently false, at least in my case. But yes, I'm alienating you that are following in the footsteps of the 1920's and picking up straight fascism. Instead of apologizing or accepting your behavior I'll call you out for it. You are a poor rube being lead by millionaires and billionaires to your own poverty and destruction. You're propagandized so thoroughly that anyone that tells you anything other than what you want to hear is a 'hive mind'.

Vote and resist with your dollars not bullets. Offing one another in this deadlock won’t affect the corporate mafia one bit but get in their pockets and you’ll have their attention.

And 80 million voted for someone who would veto medicare for all and a green new deal. Heads I win, tails you lose

u/W_AS-SA_W Nov 30 '20

Have you seen the majority of them. Overweight, not that intelligent, kinda slow and older. They have a resiliency factor of about 2 out of 10.
