      I just don’t understand why good people are so prone to think letting the bully repeatedly punch them in the face will work. Some people won’t stop until they are stopped. Everyone knows this. There’s a lot of forms that can take, but blowing fucking whistles clearly isn’t it.

        You’re not wrong but you’re also not volunteering to get yourself killed as well as likely hundreds if not thousands right off the bat.

        Kent State was much smaller and you still ended up with iirc like 40 deaf or injured.

        Open rebellion is a last resort because it’s guaranteed to come with a body count.

        Violence begets violence.

        That’s a trite phase, but it’s no less true.

        As soon as America meets violence with violence we’re cooked.

        The line is crossed and now we wait for lawmakers to choose a side.

        The rule of law OR Fascism

        Support and encourage your representatives to stand up to Trump and impeach the childfucker.

          Did you forget that they already declined to prosecute him?

          I feel like a broken clock with this, but you realize the Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents are immune from prosecution for any acts taken in their capacity as president, which they specifically said would include assassinating political rivals, didn’t come during Trump’s second term right? It came during Biden’s term. The Supreme Court literally told him, “You could assassinate Trump and nothing would happen to you.” He refused to even pursue him for prosecution.

          Democrats WILL NEVER SAVE YOU. They never have. They’re guilty of genocide, and you’re relying on an appeal to their humanity. Don’t doom yourself, organize with actual humans.
