It's an amazing thing if you think about it. Liberals are literally protesting the infringements on civil liberties of citizens and anyone covered under the Constitution i.e. anyone in America. The violations of the 4th amendment rights and due process etc. while righties cheer them on like fucking sheep to a slaughter. Yet conservatives are defending ICE's ability to perform all of these illegal searches and seizures and of course the murder of civilians willing to stand up for the Constitution and our rights. Then conservatives abandon the 2nd amendment because a citizen legally possesses a firearm and they blame it on that, when in literally every other situation such as a church or a school classroom they would be all for it. Fucking bizarro world I tell ya.
Because they don't really support the 2A, such as it is. They support the expression of power on those they deem lesser than, in whatever form that takes.

You misunderstand fascism then.
In nations like Russia, or North Korea. The State has rights. Everyone else is a slave of the State, to be dispensed with as they please.
To reiterate. They view themselves as the State right now, as they currently hold power.

You stupid lying, manipulative mother#%@#. you are lying agaIn. You are talking about something that has NOTHING to do with what you and I where discussing. No where have I been talking about not standing up, not fight back against this administration, and nothing about your claim here with the democrates holding a press conferance and such.

This started with you saying the democrates need to start organizing protests and general strikes.. Which is where I entered and told you why it was illegal and the fact that this administration would throw them in jail for it. With the current events, possibly even worse (have them killed, just like Hitler did). Not the shit you keep trying to bring up and argue, manipulate, and flat out lie. Claiming I said things, I did not say, or was even remotelty talking about. You are dishonest. You just rage, lie, and manipulate.

You claim I didn't give an example of what Hitler did to his opposition, you either can't fucking read, have comprehension problems, or you are lying once again. I fucking told you straight up what he did.. He fucking killed them, (pretty sure I mentioned it twice, before this reply). We aren't talking about the people, we are talking about those in government, even though many regular German people where also killed. It was the loss of the war to the allies, with indirect help of the German people.
Not Hitler's opposition in government that ended Hitler's rein, as those people where dead. He committed suicide in a bunker after being deafed to avoid capture.

What you claimed you want the democrats to do (be leaders: organize protest, general stikes, ect), is not learning from history, it's repeating it. You want the deomcrates to do it, even though it's illegal, which will get them jailed at minimum, or worse killed, just as it did with Hitler. It's what Trump is waiting for, for them to give him a reason. (Trump and his administration are already supporting his gestapo injuring and killing protestors, supporting them doing it, as they lie and manipulate the truth so they can continue).

Leaders will rise and be created from us, the people. Not the majority of democrates or anyone else holding office. Yet that is where you are looking for them to be. They already failed you and everyone else.

You have twisted this conversation to the point that you think I am saying we should't stand up and fight back, we shouldn't do anything, which is far from the truth. It's not even what the conversation is about. It's nothing more than manipulation on your part to try and skew away from the original topic. Now, do you want to start being honest about what we are talking about? Or do you want to continue manipulating and lying?
You should be ashamed of yourself. Completely embarrassed and walk with your head down.

This is why the Democrats have helped get us here and have no idea how to fight back, because they are as weak and clueless as you are.

You keep typing the same words, you do realize is they get more and more pathetic each time. Except now you added another and other even more stupid one. Our leaders don't have to act like leaders! Nationwide leaders will come organically from someone in the population in time to organize tens of millions of people in a way to fight fascism!

This is just pure utter Insanity and drivel.

That worked real well for Europe, cria 1930s.

Why do you suggest such a failed concept?
Nazi America is ALREADY threatening every single country within the same hemisphere.
But yeah, we can totally be neighbors with them.

If you think peace was ever an option. You do not comprehend Nazism.
When there's no shared reality between a people, what other outcomes/solutions do you propose?

@MrSquished and @NWRMidnight could you both just put each other on ignore and stop the bickering. We all know where you both stand on stuff and the constant arguing is cluttering up a fairly important thread.

Cheers!
Sure. If other people tell that Maniac how nuts, stupid, and enabling his position is. I'll shut the fuck up.

I got my gas masks and tear gas goggles right from Amazon!

We need people and Leaders who can call this stupid shit out real time, How biblical the lies are becoming.

It's not the least bit surprising. They have no universal principles that apply to everyone, or even every citizen.

Everything is about accumulating power, wealth, weapons for themselves, while denying them to "others". "Rights for us". "Oppression for them".

There would be mass cheering from MAGA, if Trump announced open season on protesters (and no end to those who would be running out the door with their guns).

You can't convince or shame MAGA into having human decency which they abandoned many years ago (outside of maybe separating one from the herd for deprogramming).

I do suggest to anyone to get your quality goggles and choice of face mask. I went with a classic 3M half-face mask and make sure you get the right filters for tear gas and other such chemical irritants. Some are just for paint fumes and lesser caustic gasses. I wanted a separate set of goggles and half-face mask vs one full one. Ended up getting two sets because I sometimes protest with a partner in crime.

If you are going to protest at all, or live near a big city, either way, I do suggest you grab a set or two.

Ah, when you say outcome/solution... you are looking for hope. Can't help you there.
You... hope... to be France, cria 1940. Just trying to warn you how that works out.
From a military standpoint, having an organized second nation would be a huge step up in the right direction. Just don't prepare for peace. It's going to be total war with bombed out husks for cities.

Utter disregard for human life. Can't believe these guys didn't kill anyone doing this.
