Don't you guys have your famous 2nd amendment to protect your democracy from tyrants?
- bix6 2mo agoNo that’s just for school shootings and LARPers.
- t2r3121 2mo agoOnly local tyranny, like the county government.
- krapp 2mo agoAmericans were literally more up in arms over social distancing and masks than any thing Trump has ever done.
- dgellow 2mo agoI was in NYC during a no king protest, it was the lamest public demonstration I ever experienced given how bad the circumstances are. On a weekend, everything was done after ~2-3h, then back to work as usual on Monday. If you miss that short period of time you wouldn’t even notice something happened. If there is one thing you can all learn from Europe is how to do a protest that cannot be ignored by your administration
- gcanyon 2mo agoTrump wants the violence. There's a difference between protesting a government that will follow the rules even if the people don't, and protesting a government that won't follow the rules even if the people do.
- techgnosis 2mo agoThis is correct. Nothing will change.
- voakbasda 2mo agoThat’s all we have left. Speeches, voting, and juries will not save us from a system this corrupt. The ongoing civil war will turn bloody eventually.
- zzgo 2mo agoGiven all the gun owners who yearn for authoritarians, and the advocates for a CEO-type leader whom only a landed and monied few should be allowed to vote for, I think the guns will actually be brought to bear on those of us who wish to protect what remains of our democracy.
