Man, if only this was happening in a country with armed citizens, they could maybe do something about it.

No good, the people with guns just shoot kids.

Trust me people are trying. Sadly, most of this country is too lazy or cowardly to do anything. I’m armed and I’m ready.

So the only outwardly observable effect of your actions are more ammo/weapon sales for gun companies that financed the Trump election?
Where’s the protesting in public? The work strikes? The sabotage?

Imagine that I googled for you and linked:
Articles about nationwide protests over the last few weeks
Articles about Teslas burning at dealerships
An article about a GOP headquarters building burning with ICE = KKK written.
Where have you been?

I didn’t criticize Americans for doing nothing, I criticized this specific user for not doing anything.
And regardless, you guys are tame for a people supposedly bent on loving liberty having a fascist at the helm…

As am I. They don’t realize we are also fond of guns on this side of the street, and are much more thrilled by the sight of dead Nazis.

Don’t point this out to them. They’ll just respond, outraged, that by going to cute little marches (parades) they’re doing all they can-
Come on, if they revolt they might GET IN TROUBLE! Then all the bad things that are definitely going to happen to them might happen to them.

It’s good to be prepared for either path. Already started in Canada ahead of time just in case.
Basically I’m leaving if the majority elect anyone who sells us out.

Sorry, associations with Murrica and Frenchies.
Anyway, thinking you are different makes you learn the hard way that you are no different. I thought Russian state is too cowardly to actually invade a big enough country for a real war (Georgia just doesn’t count, they simply don’t have strategic depth, they barely would even if they somehow annexed East Pontic mountains and Artvin from Turkey, that is, Tao or Tayq, the latter is the Armenian name for this and I’d prefer it to be annexed by Armenia, but neither will likely happen, anyway, a separate republic would be better, it seems some people there are chill enough). Oops, got excited. Back to “too cowardly”, murdering and torturing those infinitely weaker than them - yes, bombing Chechnya - yes, betraying allies - 100% yes, but 2022-now was unexpected.
Same with ISIS-like groups being now preferred to Iran and Shia militias for the west. If we kinda remember why the latter are supposed to be bad, that’s because they are threatening Israel and are a theocracy and against freedom and rule of law and all that. I mean, if HTS is about democracy then I’m an alien. If HTS is more democratic than IRI (which still has traces of being founded by both mojahed and left-liberal groups), then I’m a donkey. And in any case it kinda went unnoticed how groups formerly part of ISIS suddenly became better than Iran in western media. So the (military-wise associated) west supports groups clearly worse than their adversaries everywhere except Ukraine. And nobody questions that. I think the part about “free media in the free world” in western worldview should be revised too.
While your average Russian still thinks their state is just dumb\incompetent\evil-but-cowardly, and your typical European still thinks EU and NATO and such are on the right side of history. While the Russian state has already grown that meat grinder mechanism it lacked in Russian public conscience (Chechnya was considered something both unintended and in the past), and the EU and NATO are quite clearly on the strong side of history, sometimes officially congratulating jihadists with massacring whole towns.
OK, I went into politics, just - a nice joke, but tables may turn overnight and Americans may start giving out such advice.

This pains me to say this, because I am on disability, but I imagine the will be a lot of angry people when Musk destroys social security. I honestly wonder how the media will spin payment diaruptions to keep the populace complacent

Bullets. That’s how. Homeland Security is the SA. ICE is the SS. When people start to fight back, they will shoot.

In good conscience I can’t recommend visiting the site or lowering yourself to read their blubbering nonsense, but if you do happen to find yourself reviewing the perspectives over on that other site in r/Conservative, you’ll find them infighting, and doing mental gymnastics to make sense of it all. Praising him, while simultaneously being upset he wants a third term, or ashamed of his imperialist plans. The blind leading the blind, but apparently at least some of them are bothered by some of the unconstitutional actions.

My money is on them suggesting people will get a bigger slice of the pie once the “fraud” is removed.
