        If that’s mind boggling then you really need to read an actual history book.

        Life for the avg America is FAR from problematic enough to have riots start yet. Even our worse off tend to have just enough care from other Americans to be upset but content. We are taking care of our down trodden just enough.

        You need starvation, active destress, or wide spread unemployment.

        We have food it’s just expensive.

        We arnt in active physical danger.

        We have just enough jobs that groups of people arnt massing together.

        End of the day the very same message of help your fellow man, do good in your community and decades of social safety nets put into place. Are doing their job of allowing the American people to coast by happy enough.

        If you want riots then you need to start making people physically miserable, scared and hungry.

      Simultaneous angry mobs outside the white house and mar-a-lago could be nice. I would come out from California to join that.

      Work together with independents and disenfranchised republicans to primary 75+% of the democratic party over the next 4 years.

      The GOP and the DNC are the sword and shield of the wealthy elites respectively.

      Not a short term solution, but the best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago. 2nd best time is today.

      Who supports him?

      Who supports them?

      I think the application of pressure goes where its possible to apply it, instead of where it isn’t.

      Go find the richest person in your local city.

      You have one, they exist. Probably several in the same area.

      Make it their problem.

      “I want to make everything possible to stop this government- as long as it doesn’t make me involved in anything “ “I live too far from everything to do anything “ “Our politics doesn’t work that way, you don’t understand that” “We are the land of free and all the guns and something “

        Can you plan and execute an insurrection in less than 24 hours?

        Most people couldn’t even get to DC with less than a weeks notice.

          “we can’t do it in 24 hours, so we are not gonna do it at all” - that’s a new one

          Funny (but not in a good way) reading all the different kinds of excuses Americunts come up with to justify their inaction when their officially elected corrupt fascist pedophile president threatens to wipe out an entire nation in a genocide.

          I bet you also don’t have the time because you need to go to work, right? This one excuse was used quite often.

            you need to go to work

            As a side note, the usaian culture about work observed through internets is just… absolutely bonkers. Everyone is constantly complaining how terrible their jobs are, how they suck them dry emotionally, physically, financially - yet even if nukes were flying they’d probably still just meekly say they gotta go to work

            I’m curious how it is you know that Americans aren’t already talking and planning insurrection, since it likely takes weeks to months to plan out. You just know, I guess. If some disingenuous Eurocunts halfway across the world don’t see direct evidence of what would be necessarily hidden activities, well then…

            It’s almost like the most egregious and non-sensical anti-American comments in here are indistinguishable from the world-class paid trolling efforts of a couple of major players we’ve all heard of.

      Then what was the point of all that 2nd amendment talk? Was it all bullshit cause you wanted to keep your pow pow?

      Guns and no balls, Thats what’s so dangerous about the regular American.

      Like I said elsewhere, your country was won by fat farmers and regular people who grew balls.

        It was always bullshit the joke used to be they would be helpless and guns useless against a corrupt government. And as we learned it was always projection they want to be the corrupt government.

        Everyone’s to broke to travel and it takes 8 hours to drive across Nebraska

        Jesus tap dancing Christ, man… It’s an illusion to make people believe they’ll always have the power to stand up. It clearly works, considering you’re quoting it and blaming the average citizens fighting back and going unnoticed because you couldn’t find the time to realize they’re trying to barely scrape by themselves. Blame the leaders who have a face, not the average citizen who’s actually protesting. Not everyone can light themselves on fire in public protests to appease you.
