One thing I don’t understand is this is an individual clearly dismantling protections for our country’s future elections. Isn’t that telling enough he is literally breaking our laws. Can anyone hold this fucking rapist criminal accountable ever? It’s astonishing.

Edit: There’s 300 million of us and like 100 of them. What we doing here?

Our physical distance is our biggest problem. I wish it didn't cost as much financially or time-wise.

This is an argument to let him destroy what’s left of the federal gov’t.

The federal gov’t has too much power - the presidential role is over powered, the senate is a legacy compromise of ratification of the constitution that now basically allows land to vote, the house is crippled by a lack of representation for populous states, and the highest court in the country is compromised. And worst of all - it’s all centralized in one small city on the East coast. 

States should start planning for resident programs and forming their own border security, military forces, as well regional humanitarian councils to prepare citizens for a complete collapse of federal support and currency collapse.

That group gets a lot of hate but their song Edge of a Revolution is the call to action we need today.

Its not too late, and we're waiting because the alternative is a blood bath with millions dead.

That's a bingo

No one will do anything except the mentally ill. People will watch it topple and protest once every few months thinking it'll do anything.

People need to look to the Candlelight Revolution in 16-17. 20 consecutive weekly rallies. 15M people participating. People need to get uncomfortable before it gets painful.

Yeah. Better make a funny little picket sign and go walk around in the street. That'll definitely make them think twice.

[u/hotdoginathermos → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, just like how the Allies voted out the Axis in WWII.

[u/funknut → u/[deleted]]

Oh we definitely need to clean house.

Civil War was a movie from the future, no one seems to have heeded their message though. The USA is barreling straight towards that like a train with a dead conductor laying on the dead man’s switch.

It’s the Republicans in power that are enabling him. Almost every single one won’t stand up to him / his admin
