I am no longer getting pleasure or carthasis from this. I need the old white leeches to be choked with the bare hands of the people
Oh, the guillotines are coming, for sure. And, it will be a joyous day to see their blood wash away their filth. But, this is to help bridge the gap.
I very much doubt that.
Americans are armed to the teeth, they've always pretended the staggering number of gun deaths in the US was a necessary evil to keep the government in check, yet now that they're in the very situation for which they claimed they needed the guns, they ain't using em.
Nothing is coming because there's nothing to be expected of a nation of dumb racist hicks and pretend tough guys.
You're confused. The people you're talking about, the ones armed to the teeth and justifying gun deaths, are the same ones who voted for Trump and love what he's doing. They're giddy with joy about it. Why would they use their guns against the very government they wanted and voted for?
