    Have you seen how the French reacted to the raising of retirement age? They literally threw a bathtub through their executives home window. Americans should be dragging politicians through the streets by their entrails with all the shit that’s been happening but they willingly just keep letting it happen with no actual recourse.

      I agree, they should be taking more direct action to confront their leaders. America is nothing compared to France in terms of protests. They have grills that are built to slide onto the metro tram rails so they can feed the protestors as they move down the street, since they do it so much.

      I’m just saying the OP brought up 2A, and that’s a pretty final solution that there’s no coming back from if you go that route. Protest is one thing, assassination with firearms is a completely different thing.

          Luckily I think America still has many disruptive, non-assassination-based responses left. We’re quickly careening towards that point, but I think we’re still decently far away from all out violence like that. To be honest I don’t think it’ll ever get to that point in the MAGA time period. I really really hope I’m right.
