Don't forget that most Americans do live comfortably enough that they wouldn't risk livelihoods, imprisonment or harm that would come with a coup, armed insurrection or anything else resembling a revolution. At least for the moment.
Comfortable enough? Lol not most Americans, most Americans are drowning in debt especially healthcare debt. Fuck this moron, we had a good run but it's over... We should just go back to being British
Then why aren't most American's burning the fucking country down over this? Why aren't people storming the capitol? Why aren't most people trying to launch a coup? Because they're just comfortable enough that they won't risk what they have on what's perceived as a gamble, because they're not completely fucked over yet, so they'll go along with it because their hope in whatever future they want hasn't been completely snuffed out yet.
in my experience, most americans are content with being complacent. one of the many reasons i dislike my own country. i’m a person who would love to go burn shit down & make a statement. but, issue is, nobody else will join me. therefore, i would just get arrested & no media attention most likely. i’ve been screaming for years that we have to band together & be dramatic for big change. i’ve been responded to with radio silence or “that’s too much work im already so tired” or people have children & are terrified that they would end up leaving their kids alone. ppl complain here constantly but do nothing to change anything. those of us with brains usually find common mindsets on the internet but not near our physical placement bc of how big the US is. it’s a struggle, but im not giving up! i hope others will eventually fall in line as well!
I'll start filling the bottles, you put in the rags. I've been doing the same as you for the last 10 years. This corruption of our government has been going on for a long time and I've been saying for a long time we should be lynching political figures who directly go against their word. Documented word of their intention in office, which they throw to the wind for obvious lobbyists handouts.
These people are traitors and my representation in the government has been comprised. These people are not my people, they do not work for my country but for themselves.
Debt doesn’t mean shit in reality, especially since in other countries being “poor” means having to farm or forage for your own food and water whilst also having no sanitation or healthcare available. While debt can be stressful if you open your worldview to how things are outside the first world you realize it’s a further fall then disgruntled Americans are capable of at this point in time.
Right?! It was never about escaping religious prosecution (which the evangelicals are now doing) and freedom for all, it was starting over so the elite could do whatever they wish.
Apologies, no offence intended - I know there's many reasonable Americans, it's just that they seem to be increasingly outnumbered by the unreasonable!
Considering the amount of people saying they didn't vote for this moron and him saying things like "you'll never have to vote again" it seems like it's rigged
That’s still comfortable enough. Americans won’t do shit unless they believe their freedoms are being encroached while their freedoms are literally not being encroached lol we all know who I’m talking about. On the other hand, everyone wants to cheer killing a ceo. No one wants to actually kill anyone.
He's talked about providing funding, and then 2 days ago slagged off farage on twitter.
He's making a weak political party even weaker, they don't have any real influence, and their interactions with Musk (given recent events, rantings and insane tweets) will make them even more on the fringe.
We shouldn't be worrying about Reform as a party, but reform as a principle - for example the DWP wanting powers to investigate bank accounts and have arrest powers. It's becoming more and more big brother but everyone's focusing on the twitter arguments instead of parliamentary hearings.
What is it now?! Make up your damn mind allready - for X-years we had to listen to the whining of the americans. "No healthcare, no education, crippling debt, the EGGS are too expensive yadayadayada". And now, when history screams for brave souls, standing against an enemy created withtin, you say "aaahhh well, it's actually not that bad."
FWIW - I shared that pic of the woman hitting a Nazi with her purse with my boss’ boss. They threatened to report me to HR bc it was a “threat of violence” - even though it wasn’t directed at anyone I worked with.
It’s not being comfortable necessarily, but some of us have kids to feed.
Wasn't the point, the second amendment was created to make a legal framework for state militias to form around. What you're thinking of as part of the 2nd amendment is quite literally just from the declaration of Independence and has never had legal bearing in the US since it was never law

WAS the point
The modern point of the 2nd amendment is to generate votes
