Reddit is going heavy on censoring the thought of protest. For example, I suggested throwing rotten fruit, eggs, and using a megaphone to bother JD Vance at his residence. Because, bluntly, 'polite' protest misses the whole bloody point of protest. It is all about making the people in power feel uncomfortable, and to warn them if they keep it up, people will open the 4th box.

I got banned, which will end in three days. But more importantly, it has convinced me: Reddit is controlled by those who don't understand nor value the 1st Amendment, and why it is crucial for preventing the 2nd Amendment from being exercised.

While it sucks to harass people, the alternative if things progress further is much worse.

im pretty sure reddit will perma ban you right after, ive been hearing people were immediately rebanned right after thier temp ban ended, because the filters dont even refresh after you get unbanned.

It's a good suggestion however there is currently a police checkpoint surrounding his house so you cant even get to his street.

I'm not American so the amendments mean nothing to me

The 1st Amendment is freedom of speech, the 2nd regards the right to bear arms. #2 was created by the Founding Fathers, in recognition that someday America will have at least one tyrant rising up. An monopoly on violence is one of the greatest powers a state can have over their citizens, so an armed citizenry is both a warning and an contingency: "Don't hurt us, and we won't hurt you."

Considering that abundance of arms in America, the opening of the Bullet Box would be very problematic for Trump and company.
