    I think you guys are going to sit and boil.

    If you ask me, things should have started burning a few months ago.

      Unfortunately, this is a exactly what Trump wants. He wants riots and chaos so he can declare martial law and gain even more power and possibly delay or even cancel elections. All of this is calculated.

        And the alternative is sit and let ICE blackbag innocents?

        The US has the 2nd amendment, which they love so much. ICE should be getting gunned down in the street by this point.

            It’s already happening. America can passively accept their country is gone, or they can fight to try and save it.

              And the minute they begin to fight, Trump locks it all down and America enters into a martial law that I guarantee won’t end before his third term.

              If there’s an uprising- it’ll have to be all-or-nothing- and that nothing will come at a heavy cost.

              I really hope people know this is exactly what he wants. You’re being baited into giving him everything he needs.

                You’re right. It’s better to just hide in your homes and hope for the best. Don’t want to play into his hands.

                  I love how people can’t debate without writing lines for their opponent. It has the added benefit of making it easier to just tag them as a waste of time.

                  If you want to discuss this, I get to say my part in this- not you.

                    Man, y’all people think we don’t know what “implying” something is or what “reaching a natural conclusion” is. Going “oh well that’s not what I said” isn’t a gotcha. I swear reading comprehension is at an all time low if you think everything has to be said directly.

                    So ok, I’ll bite, what’s your glorious solution? What should we do oh wise one?

        If I’m not mistaken, a full national declaration of martial law would require not only approval of individual state legislatures, but also the loyalty of the military and the National Guard in every state.

        By bypassing laws and regulations, totally disregarding checks and balances now that mechanism is compromised, the bastard need not to declare martial law to spread terror.

        I dunno about that. This was more or less Chuck Schumers approach to passing his agenda. If you fight him it’s going to get worse, so don’t fight? I feel foreign nationals shouldn’t be leading the charge because of their vulnerability, but for full-fledged us born citizens following the law with their rebuke, surely many would martyr themselves for a historical rally against fascism knowing the ACLU would defend them.

          Oh we should absolutely be fighting but not with guns. We should be fighting with the law and protests. We should be confronting these fuckers at every junction. But the moment we pick up a gun or a rock or some other violent means we just give them the excuse to escalate the fascism.
