I agree.
Maybe another No Kings rally where we have even more cleverly written signs and chants that rhyme will get them to stop.
Maybe hundreds more people recording on the sidelines from their cell phones instead of directly intervening while people are begging for their lives as they are ripped from their cars should do the trick.
Maybe waggling our middle fingers impotently at them while they detain Native Americans and brown-skinned citizens doing routine shopping or as the gestapo goes door-to-door will deter them.
Let us know what you plan to do, I will cheer for you.
You see. This is the problem. If I did anything all you would do is cheer from the sidelines. No one is willing to risk their lives for this bullshit since there will be no one brave to back them up, and so nothing will happen.
All I see is some keyboard warrior encouraging others to do violence while sitting at home god knows where in the world. You're encouraging worse than doing nothing.
Nope.
The violent rhetoric needs to stop. You are just coming in here with bad faith arguments and imaginary conversations conjured up in your smooth brain mind.
I'm not saying to commit violence you fucking dolt; brandishing firearms is a deterrence, just like how every God damned country now is unfortunately armed with nukes. No one is going to invade North Korea. No ICE cop is going to commit suicide by attacking a group of armed peaceful protesters.
Fuck you and your pacifist bullshit, limp-dick cowardice. This is why we are all here in the first place, because we never punish Nazi/Christian-fascist sympathizers with the very same aggressive rhetoric they use everyday against us.
You idiots still think the Biden-era mealy-mouthed reach-over-the-aisle both sides meet each other, getting along skipping together through a flower field bullshit still works, and it needs to die.
