well to be blunt you've had systems built against you for literal decades to prevent you from doing as much. Healthcare tied to employment, at will employment states, 40+ hour work weeks, the least amount of paid time off or time off in general in the modern free world, and these are just a few examples. You also have law enforcement the nation over that has been "trained" and equipped to act as mini-militaries. And THEN you have several government agencies that have also been trained and equipped as such and that's even before considering the ACTUAL US Military.

These are just some examples of systems put into place to ensure that you, your average American, stays in line and doesn't rebel-rouse.

as others have stated the US doesn't have what other countries would consider a national ID. they have a Drivers License and a Passport, that's it. I think some states might have a regular photo ID but I'm not sure it's been several years since I lived in the US. and then some people have like a military ID.

The problem is other than the Passport none of those are proof of citizenship. None citizens can get a drivers license, none citizens can serve in the military, none citizens can even get a social security number/card. So the only way to prove citizenship is like Passport or Birth Certificate. Not even sure how US Citizens who became citizens after landing would prove it and with how ICE is that would be an extremely risky thing to present/prove when going to vote.

So then you have the problem that A. Not everyone has/can afford a Passport and B. not everyone has a Birth Certificate or their name has changed on it or their gender has changed, etc.

Thus when you consider all these things you then realize that voting in the US only a fraction of the US population would be 100% eligible. and EVEN then they could deny you for whatever reason they deemed fit. And even just requiring a passport and birth certificate it's easy to then figure out WHO they're targeting based on demographics. Low income people aren't going to have a passport, like it or not a majority of Black Americans aren't going to have one, Trans people won't be eligible, Women who married likely won't be if they took their spouses last name, people who were adopted, all US citizens that became one after immigrating to the US, etc, etc, etc.

exactly. Non-citizens can get a SSN. I had one when I lived in the US a couple decades ago and all I had was a green card. It was one of the first things I got. I was surprised when I got it cause it was literally paper. here in Canada when they used to give them out they were on a plastic card, I don't even think they even give you a card here anymore because it's more of a liability than anything to just have a plastic card with your social insurance number on it.

to those thinking "if they did this no one would vote for them again, it would be political suicide"

My sweet summer child, they would do this is if they knew that there weren't going to be anymore elections. if they're 100% sure they can pull that off then they will start mandatory conscription.

Brave of you to assume that elections will even be held.

click bait headline and post.

It was an Fascist Protest held by Nazi Jake Lang against Muslims. two counter protesters were the ones who tossed the IEDs. they WERE NOT directed at the Mayors home but at the Nazi's that were protesting nearby.

they don't need to though they can literally just do it. Now if this happened a few months to a year ago, yes I could see them doing this in order to justify something else but now they don't care because they've seen that the american people will let it happen, they've seen that no one is going to enforce any court orders or rulings, they've seen democrats are all talk and no action and that's why they've become more bold and lying horribly if at all recently. They now know they can get away with it.

So they don't need to have anything happen to justify the build up of anything. they an literally just do it and americans will say "thank you daddy."

neat, like that's going to stop them.

Fun fact. ICQ was the the go to messaging platform for the porn industry and was actively being used in the industry right up to the point it was bought by a russian company.

no. nothing is going to happen to him. the only way he's leaving office is in a body bag. that's it. the sooner americans FINALLY understand this then maybe they can do something...oh who am I kidding, they're not going to do anything.

This ends when he's dead, lets just all accept that and hopefully we're all still alive when that day comes.
