    It’s not that the insane outnumber them, it’s that the military has crazy firepower and is controlled by trump loyalists, and they are willing to open fire on citizens. The sane people know that.

    The only hope is infiltrating the military i guess?

      The US fell into this nonsense long before Trump took it to full, unashamed facism. The people of that country had lots of time and opportunity to just simply not vote for the objectively evil people and even right now currently have the ability to vote.

      The amount of gerrymandering it would take to make a 10% minority pull off a win is so far beyond what we have today. But it’s not a 10% minority, it’s over 70 million people who handed Trump the popular vote. They could simply have just not done that but their hate and fear mean they’re more than happy to support such a wildly cruel party over and over again. It’s not the military that’s forcing them to vote for dear leader, not yet anyway, and there have been decades of opportunity to sort this shit out before this point.

      No weak excuses, that shithole country has forced its way into everyone else’s business and needs to shape the fuck up.

        Tbf I didn’t say anything about it being a 10% minority. But trump won with less than 50% of the popular vote which we know included voter suppression and straight doctoring votes, so I think the people who didn’t vote for him do outnumber those who did, but yes, it is definitely well over 70M people.

        I’m not making excuses at all, something must be done, but what do we expect? Their cops have insane fire power and will open fire on civilians, so I guess we just have to hope some people are willing to martyr themselves and commit suicide by cop?

        I hope for a revolution, but I understand why people might be afraid to stand up.

      Isn’t that why you have the second amendment in the first place? So that you can rise up against the state? Does not compute.
