Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives
-
Nah. That'll just make them fortify their homes and hire armed security and carry on as usual. Something more definite is needed.

Wow aren't you desperate for attention.
Nobody should have control. Sadly the UN won't step up
I can guarantee you that letting China take the US's place as the boot on the neck of the world will be just as shit.
Edit: omg is this a venusaur alt account? Aaron? Do you name all your accounts after Pokémon? XD

THEY MADE IT LEGAL FOR HIM TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS OF COURSE THEY ARE IGNORING HIM

pokes Schumer with a stick

Maybe he’s dead. I hope he’s dead.

He's furrowing his brow as much as he can!

Well of course. That is what they are being paid to be.

Once everyone is convinced that laws are meaningless shit will spiral out of control. Like whose authority would I recognize over my own at this point?
If masked thugs show up at my door they getting shot, I'm not taking their word for who they claim to be.
And even if they are who they say they are, I will not comply with what I perceive to be illegal orders that I have no good faith that I'd be able to argue in a fair court of law, and even if I were convinced of that...
WHAT DOES EVEN WINNING IN COURT MEAN IF COURTS ARE IGNORED?

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row

Huh, who would'a thunk that "separation of powers" and "checks and balances" were just tools to simultaneously prevent progressive policy from being passed, and to give a semblance of democracy from a capitalist empire
-
The lack of separation is the problem, as Washington warned against the allowance of political parties
-
-
So officially we are in a dictatorship
-
I just want the courts or congress or whatever to officially admit that, I'm sick of the pretense of checks and balances

The $upreme Cucks
-
The system is broken.
-
Which is why decorum will rescue us if we don't resist the tide of fascism. Remember the words of Chuck Shumer "fascism loses when we stop resisting it."
-
The system is down

At least we are learning it was always bullshit.

Of course they are ok with it, they’ve been ok with everything he has done since the beginning.

So what?
-People OK with Deporting Toddlers with Cancer because their Parents are trying to Legally Immigrate!

This is real shit and all but also holy fuck is it impossible to read MJ anymore. Ads took me away from the content 3 times trying to read this.

Mother Jones has a full-text RSS feed. No pictures, but no ads either.
-
Neat.
-
Thanks. Because that was infuriating
-
-
I use uBlock Origin and didn't see any ads at all. Although the site did pop up and ask for money since it detected the ad blocker.
I honestly don't know how people browse without an ad blocker. 😬

fucking duh

Lock him up. Lock them up. Lock them all up.
Traitors and criminals. Every one.
-
All part of their plan.
-
It's okay guys, I'm sure that if you go outside and walk some more with some especially passive-aggressive signs the regime will realize their wrongdoings.

What do you think this comment contributes to this conversation?
-
Oh, I just want to shame the Americans.
-

Actually resisting? Making use of that 2nd amendment you so proudly claim is at the very bottom of the hierarchy of needs? Honoring your grandparents and great grandparents who gave their lives in the fight against tyranny? Taking a page from Italy's book on fighting fascism?

The constitution makes it extremely clear what to do in this situation.
Do it, you fucking pussies
Decades of chanting "we are the best" yet they cower at the thought of standing up for themselves.
The people cowering and the people chanting we are the best are two completely different groups of people. The NRA is a political group made for "rising when needed", a prime example of a group in the US chanting we are the best, but the NRA doesn't see anything thats going on as wrong. Those of us that do see things going wrong are doing our best, but without mass suicide theres not a whole lot more we can do that we aren't already doing. Writing and calling politicians, showing up to town halls, protesting (violent and nonviolent). I'm not sure what you expect us to do short of forming a leftist militia that will be tienamin squared in less than 2 seconds of forming. The working class as it stands can't do much other than sit and get shot at by ice and the coast guard while waiting for a larger politician to actually fucking do something.
The number of absolute cowards in here whining at you… Christ.
You think Le Resistance didn't fight knowing they could end up shot dead, or worse? You don't think they knew it was an uphill battle at all times?
This is why there will be no American revolution, because the Americans are too egotistic to lay down their lives for their fellow countrymen.
Nobody said it would be easy
