I'm also still very tired of hearing people outside the USA telling us to start spilling each other's blood willy nilly.
Fucking keyboard warriors telling us "just start a civil war, why haven't you done it already" as if grabbing a gun and executing your neighbors is the easiest thing in the world.
I'd love to go my whole life without ever having to so much as slap someone. But the rest of lemmy seems convinced that "American == gun owner" and that we should have been cutting each other down in the streets since November 2024
Well it has been what Americans have been saying for decades. We need guns to protect us from the government.
I'm all for resisting ICE and standing up to them, but nuance is dead. People take that as me saying go shooting. I'm saying group together, don't break the group, and don't let THEM break it either.
That's the actual solution, we outnumber them by such a huge margin that just standing together and telling them to fuck off is our best bet. They're cowards, it doesn't take a lot to make them back down.
I didn't think you were suggesting violent solutions, I just also wanted to vent about the people who are like "wHy aREN'T AmERicAnS DoiNG MoRE?" and acting like because we haven't gunned down Trump and most of Congress that we're complicit
Oh nah, wasn't saying you were telling me to be violent. Just dunking on those who outside the country want to see our bodies lying in the streets on the news. They say WE'RE violent but they aren't ANY better.
I just wanted to say this is not the way and is wrong.
It's not people's neighbours that need to be going after.
It about 600 people.
That's it.
Then you do it again if the next group doesn't make things right immediately.
You can give them a choice. Ask them to resign or face the guillotine.
That 600 people are the 3 branches of government and the Supreme Court.
435 members of Congress. 100 Senators. POTUS and his appointees.
Again it's not people's neighbours that need to be removed post haste.
And yes there are good people in that 600. That's why you ask them to resign first. They can run again after the people have decided the smoke has cleared.
I know this isn't going to happen nor is it as simple as 600 individuals. But those 600ish people are the problem. There are other and more problems but you fix those 600 and you can correct course
Sure and I'm sick of I'm sorry I never voted for him. I don't care and there is no blue states either look at how many people in blue states voted for Trump. Just because he didn't win your state doesn't mean that a lot of people didn't vote for him.
I'm increasingly realizing we never had any allies, we had sniveling yes countries that probably all need bloody mouths.
