    See, this is the thing that people outside America don’t understand.

    They are intentionally trying to trigger civilian uprisings/civil war. It wouldnt be a giddy happenstance, its their actual purpose.

    Its why they’ve deployed ICE, Its why ICE is given carte blanch to brutalize and disappear people at a whim. Its why they’ve dismantled any oversight that could stand against them and interupt them.

    and they are getting quietly furious that its not working.

    because they want the excuse to declare martial law. to give the order to kill American citizens to the military, and to cull anyone that wouldnt follow the order. To declare no elections, to make Trump the figure head for the rest of his meager life, with the real power being the billionaires that own the Republicans and the chopping up of the country into oligarchical fiefdoms not to dissimilar to Russia.

    and its why people are focused on peaceful pressure. it infuriates and stymies their plans.

      They’re already killing civilians and you’re worried that if people pose any resistance to that they’ll use it as an excuse to kill civilians?

      "Defending ourselves will just give them the excuse to do what they’re already doing.’

        No need to be pedantic they are correct in their point they’re making. The MAGA goal is for an insurrection or riots start in blue cities so they can declare martial law

          And if nothing is done to resist them then they can take their time implementing the laws they want with no resistance.

            Would love to hear some actual recommendations. Not much available to be done when half my neighbors are brainwashed into thinking what is happening is a good thing and they’re blind to what is actually going on and dont believe when evidence is brought in front of them.

            3 simple words that scream “I cant refute what you’re saying, but I have to have the final word because I’m childish and cant admit wrong”

              You didn’t say anything. “lack of reading comprehension” is not an argument, it contributes nothing and does not strengthen wherever point you were trying to make.

              I didn’t put any less substance in my reply than you had in yours. So if that’s the benchmark for “I cant refute what you’re saying, but I have to have the final word because I’m childish and cant admit wrong” then that speaks volumes for your prior post.
