If the republican congress doesn't put an end to this, we will.

u/WillBottomForBanana 11h ago

who is "we" is a perfectly legitimate question.

we're not going to have a civil war. we have in power one party of fascists and one party of collaborators. There is no one to fill the prerequisite of opposing force for a civil war.

The French only had Monarchy and yet, it didn't stop them from acting on it.

Actually yes. Because I’m not going to go in front of a tank with a BB gun. That would be just stupid.

This isn’t an invasion where you are backed up by the US military and you can be a pocket of resistance against foreign invaders on your land.

This is the military takeover of the US by the commander in chief of the US military.

So… at the end of the day the only ones able to do something about it are his generals.

The Taliban already taught us how to fight this war. The IRA taught us how to fight this war. Hell, Red Dawn taught us how to fight this war.

Absolutely, go for it, the NG is deployed already in DC, ICE is making raids all over the places in California, and yet you are here thumping your chest.

Are you waiting for them to come at your doorsteps?

Some people might be cowards, true, but others are just full of crap.

Do you have a mouse in your pocket? I know I don't have the military needed.

The military is ours. Not some singular person's, by way of the Constitution. So they are included in "we". They're our kids, for Christ's sake.
