It’s going to be hard to assert your 2A rights once you’ve been arrested and locked in a torture camp.
Time is running out for Americans to stand up if they ever were going to.
they won't.
the liberals in America are always worried of doing wrong, Dems cry decorum and voters cry all sorts of things that make them not vote. I understand the entire problem with Palestine and sending Israel weapons but voting to "punish" the Democrats or not voting at all punishes us first.
we're absolutely fucked it has to happen and we have to learn the hard way
Americans won’t. They only care if price of hamburger go up.
Americans aren't homogenous
Not before the mincer they aren't
No, but the majority of them won’t care and those that do care won’t do anything to stop it. Even out of those who exist within the leftist little pocket of the internet that is Lemmy only a fraction of them will probably even do the work to even peacefully protest it. We’ve been there and done that with Americans many times before. It’ll be the same old song and dance is my guess.
Not that I don’t encourage you guys to try. I don’t want to dishearten you or discourage you. In fact I beg you guys to do something meaningful about it. I just don’t think you guys will.
Boy, for someone who doesn't want to dishearten or discourage, you sure do a good job of writing a comment that is purpose-built to dishearten and discourage.
Yeah well Americans have just been a huge let down my whole life so forgive me if I have a hard time getting excited about their ability to stop their country from destroying the world.
But they are soft.
I’m not living there and will fight to my death to avoid it.
The point isn't to be living there.
