I mean realistically what is you owning a gun gonna do against a drone strike or whatever other tech the military has? The only way a revolution happens in the modern day is if the military lets it. I can definitely see the value in guns for protection against paramilitary groups trying to go after people but beyond that guns aren't gonna stop the US government from doing fascist stuff if the military is on their side.

Edit: Also at a certain point if you're actively fighting and resisting against the government getting access to guns even if they are illegal isn't gonna be the biggest problem you have.

"Democracy will just never work, the king won't allow it"

If you just vote for the individual policies we say we want in this poll, then you're throwing your vote away!

Yes. Americans are fucking stupid.

The RNC and GOP claim to hold every position on every stance and talk about outcomes which will never come from the policies they actually write. The American Public doesn't know jack shit about policies or vote history.

So the GOP consistently outnumber the DNC every year for over 10 years. Even when DNC pick majority leader it has been because of caucusing Independents.

You can just keep winning if you just keep lying.

Also, c'mon! Everyone in my community pays at least $10,000.00 a year in taxes but somehow that's not enough to patch up all the holes on the road.

I'll be real with you, in depth WWII history should be taught in high school, as well as political spectrums like dictatorships. Where I'm from, I saw images of concentration camp victims when I was 15, in class. I saw how starved they were in pictures and in videos. Saw the piles of clothes, shoes, tooth fillings, etc. Saw the camps themselves and Hitler speeches that we studied. We were presented the US anti-propaganda film, "Don't Be A Sucker" as well to home in how dangerous dictator cult speeches are.

It did affect me a lot to learn about these things and the harsh reality of human cruelty, but it was also a good lesson to ingrain in us kids. Repeating this is a worse nightmare than being educated about it. I'm always shocked when I meet Americans that got the bare minimum education on WWII with 0 understanding of the how it happened. It's actually shocking.
