Came in here to say, this is all fine and good, but we’ve been broadly asked a question in response to our demand:
“Or what?”
The left and progressives broadly need to start understanding power and where it comes from.
We need to use the amendment that the founders placed there to answer the question “Or what?” when it’s asked by our government when it goes bad.
If we met force with force, the cowards in masks and swastikas would RUN home and hide in their basements and whinge on the internet how persecuted they are. They’re not going to get in a gunfight with anyone, they’re emotionally-empowered internet chuds and pasty nazi-loving 4-channers. Every single one of them.
I dream of a day when I see a hundred thousand people of color, pink-haired LGBTQ+ allies and families of all walks of life marching while open-carrying and demanding social change and accountability for the people selling off our rights to the lowest bidder.
