        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.

      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.

      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.

      “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 “

      Go find the richest person in your local city.

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

      Make it their problem.

      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.

        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.
