It’s still a crime. Americans just don’t care if cops commit crimes. If they did, they would do something about it.

Democrats: “How is such a thing possible? The only thing we’ve done for a solid decade is ask for money!”

Because you allow it.

Because you allow it.

You’ve described every last American

Who said anything about physically fighting?

I did.

I remember trying to use “calm down” as a power move when I was in high school. I’m sure it didn’t at all telegraph to everyone in earshot that I was too fragile to face up to the discussion and too terrified to offer anything useful.

This is my point.

Everyone I see on Lemmy/Bluesky, etc. only seems to be able to express outrage at the action itself, not its intended outcome.

Your comment probably sounds really bright to moral relativists.

I think people are tired of hearing comments from Americans that appear to make excuses for inaction.

“We can’t fight back because then the Nazis will take the opportunity to punish us harder” has got to be in my top 5 cowardly thought-stopping bullshit comments.

You might also have gone with:

“It’s not as EASY as you seem to think”

“Yeah, well what have YOU done??”

“Did you not see the VERY effective and not-at-all-a-huge-joke No Kings protests a month ago?”

“Keyboard warrior!”

Fucking stop with the bullshit messaging that doing a Jan 6 is bad.

Doing a Jan 6 for the reasons it was done is bad, and if you want your country back, you’re going to have to do much more than a Jan 6.

Openly fascist people should not be allowed to draw breath.

Also “we know you’ll do precisely ZERO to stop us.”

It’s a start

Oh, hey, found one

There isn’t.

Burden of proof is on you here.
