    It’s coming. They’re officallt trying to “declare war” on American cities. There is going to be violent backlash, and unfortunately that’s exactly what they want.

      Yeah, I kinda think they’re trying to spark a civil war. They believe they will win and then they will “purge” everyone who opposes them.

        I don’t believe they think they’ll win, but winning isn’t the goal, doing irreparable damage to America is the point. The entire goal has always been to hurt America at the behest of foreign masters, the most effective way to do that is just to ignite the powder keg of political divide that already exist.

        Funny. I think the same thing would happen to MAGATs, Klanners, and the 1%.

        As ever, I won’t start the fight, but I intend to be the one who walks away from it. Preferably with other minorities.

          Yeah definitely be ready to fight if it comes to it but it’s a worst-case scenario. A civil war breaking out here would be devestating to everyone

      There’s no way out of it now. Either bend over and take the fascism, or fight for your freedom.

      Peaceful protesting isn’t going to do it, and good luck thinking elections are going to matter. Look what they’re currently doing to the Democrat that just won the House seat. Refusing to swear them in.

      We will have to kill Nazis again. If you don’t, you’ll have a boot on your neck till they drag you off to the next concentration camp.

      I mean I don’t really know what other response one could give? “Let’s drum circle this bitch out?” The only other response I could imagine is a general strike, which I’m all for but doubt will happen

      It doesn’t matter at this point. We do nothing they complete their agenda. We do something maybe they use it as an excuse to expedite their agenda.

        If the outlook is the same either way, might as well bag a few Nazis on the way down.

        Which is exactly what I and many, many other people have been screaming for months and months. Every day you wait, it’s a harder fight. So your choices are act now and suffer, or act later and suffer worse. Sucks, but that is your reality.
