MAGA people wear hat's that say he's right about everything. Clearly, they don't care about facts, but 'right' in the sense of fighting for their team. Whatever comes of his mistakes, he'll blame others. The wh

I did not mention conservatism, right or left. This has nothing to do with ideology.

While I undestand your reasoning. There are reasons for not wanting to call for violence on the internet.

Flagged. I guess someone feels like US democracy is doing fine. If only we could stop people from talking about it.

JD Vance is smart, he can make Trump Junior the face. It's far from impossible he can hold the GOP and others together. He only needs to explain what you just wrote; If we stop being on top, we'll all die in jail. Also, Musk is wi

Like what would happen, if the army/FBI came and would lock up Newsom on charges of espionage for China. Or if his plane would be shot out of the sky. Who would oversee the investigation? Who would accept that outcome? Out of that a st

That won't save US democracy. Assuming JD Vance is of the same anti-democratic nature.

A group of civilians with guns stand no chance against an army without enforced laws keeping it in check. Violence is not the solution.

That would be too late. And he did try and came super close the last time.

To quote the guy: "If you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore" But I mean it in a non-violent-way.

Interesting, but bikeshedding. Just use capitals and/or quotes. Nobody is getting confused by something like: Would you like to share the 'My Pictures' folder?

If trump orders the CEO of Microsoft or OpenAI to hand over data to get dirt (or company secrets) on an opponent in the EU. What do you think are the odds they would do it? Zero? In case you missed it, trust has been broken.

To get 'speed up' the effect, move your face close (to the red) then away from your screen.

If you'd ask me, I'd do the same. I guess I'll search online what it means..

No. It doesn't matter, because just like with fire, with new virusses it is well known that these will happen regardless of people having bad intent. You can't prevent someone with mental problems setting a tree on fire to smoke o

Sorry, I don't care about Fauci. From my perspective he stood up agaist trump, the all sorts of attacks appeared. They're always contradictive. He and his people don't care about consistency, because his followers only focus

Apart from directing anger for political reasons, I don't see the big importance. It's like wondering why a single building caught fire, when the shocking thing was that the whole world caught fire. Surely the lessons to learn are

My hypothesis; it's people who believe in a just world. That think value and wisdom need to come from effort and/or pain. Potential litmus test; They like videoclips from Coldplay where every frame is drawn with real crayons. Then
