We went to war over black people having humans rights.
What makes them think we won’t go to war over an actual takeover of our country? If they won’t allow us to vote them out peacefully, what do they think we’re gonna do? Roll over and spread our asscheeks?
They've drank their own koolaid and think the kill bots will be ready in time.
checks all grand playbooks of 2024-now
i'm a bit worried here
I mean... they've been raw dogging you lads for the past couple of years and you've done pretty much that. 🤷♂️
Yeah, I mean that seems like the American way lately.
Been saying for a while - get out or get a rifle.
That said, considering that most liberals think smashing windows makes police murder OK, I do think they're not insane for thinking plenty will roll over and spread. They mean it - and outside the commies, too many Americans who supposedly oppose the GOP fascism don't.
We've nearly passed the age of that working. They'll send a fleet of Boston Dynamics' finest after your ass before long.
That is what is fair to expect historically speaking, yes. Oppressed groups resist, privileged groups appropriate resistance when it's safe to do so.
Unfortunately you have to be armed to fight a war...and the large majority of the arms are held in these idiots hands. I do hope the left has figured out that spending political capital to try and disarm us all, is not the brightest idea.
Not all of us against them are unarmed.
This doesn't really make sense as a reply to the comment you replied to
Makes perfect sense.
Not if you read the second sentence which was the point they were making
Indeed. Americans have just been letting Trump fuck them
