Is this not the reason the second amendment exists? Regards An Australian Edit: I’m not advocating for violence. More so “a well regulated militia” which could be established by protesters or Democratic Governors for genuine self defence.

    Because trump is hoping people will do something stupid so that he can overreact and put the entire country in lock down?

    Unless you’re going for a violent uprising, violent protests typically do less than large scale continuous peaceful protests

    The problem is that the latter also doesn’t happen in the US, it’s as if Americans just don’t care…

    Oh yes, I know the excuses, we have a job, we have a family to feed, and DUDE YOU ARE A JEW IN GERMANY 1934, WOULD YOU PLEASE FRIGGING DO SOMETHING ALREADY?

      even if no one does anything drastic, trump will escalate anyway. we may get something staged like with charlie kirk, but they may not even find a bullshit reason to justify themselves.

      They’ve been propagandized over generations into not trying. They have been lead to believe that what is here now is good and don’t see that it could be better.
