    Don’t forget that Donny’s having a birthday military parade coming up. We need to show up and sound off. If he wants America to be great we need to show how great we are against him and this regime.

      Trump voters just want to see people they don’t like being hurt. That’s pretty much it. The boot on their opponent’s neck and inflict pain until they submit. They’re all about punishment.

      there’s a traitor right there within the executive branch

      Within the executive? I think this time around it’s pretty safe to say the entire executive branch is an enemy organization within the government.

      For the first Trump term sure, maybe a bunch of them were just innocent regular republicans who only want to hurt the people who “deserve” it. You know, wrong skin color, wrong balance sheet balance, wrong bloodline, the usual violations… But anybody there now cannot pretend like they don’t support the dismantling of our form of government.

      …ok sure of course they can pretend. Delusion and dodging cognitive dissonance is like breathing for them. But they sure can’t deny it— shit wait yes they can and it will work. Never mind!

    We cannot be silent in the face of Trump’s dictatorial move. Silence is acquiescence. We must be brave in resisting him. But we must not succumb to violence.

    What is needed is peaceful civil disobedience. Americans locking arms to protect those who need protection. Americans sitting in the way of armored cars. Americans singing and chanting in the face of the Americans whom Trump is drafting into his handmade civil war.

    Because peaceful civil disobedience definitely wont be met by force with 0 repercussions

      I honestly do not believe anything short of violent revolt will achieve any results. I am happy to be proven wrong as someone who isn’t really keen on that, but I just don’t see it.

      Well, you guys have guns. Time to use them what your founding fathers want you all to use them for, if it comes to it.

      The Reichstag was the parliament of the Weimar Republic, the democratic precursor to Germany that was taken over by the Nazis in 1933. Today, the building where the Bundestag, Germany’s current parliament, meets is still called the Reichstag.

      However, the similarity lies in the fact that the current US administration is acting very much like the Nazis did in 1933 - in my opinion, they are in the process of overturning the democratic constitution in order to establish a fascist state.

      That’s probably what you mean, but it’s a bit strangely worded.

      You’re joking, but accurate with the recent push to start drilling in our national parks :(

      Its about having operating bases around the world, to make sure you can reach/strike/influence anywhere you need.
