    Saying it was gas prices alone is ignoring the years of protesting and agitation the left has put exerted. No kings protests don’t just happen and didn’t just start. They are an extension of the George Floyd/BLM protests from the first Trump era.

    The only thing gas prices changed are the minds of the 25% who voted for Trump. And there are still die hard idiots who won’t change or recognize the problem. Europe and much of the world also has this stupid type of voter, like being a pro-Russian Polish citizen.

    You are agitating to make progress feel dimished. Trump will fall soon and you will still find a way to complain about how long it took. Yeah, because we don’t coup shit here. We have process and order and we follow it, even in the bad times because we believe (even against our better judgement) that people are not wrong until they do something wrong. Try it out and you might find out how corrupt your country is too.

        What do you want him to do exactly?

        Beyond being outraged that people aren’t doing “enough” or “quickly” what do you want people to actually do? It’s easy to complain, it’s difficult to actually come up with a solution.

          What they’ve been doing in Minneapolis, but amplified?

          That they put down a tyrannical government as their beloved 2A states?

          There’s more population than politicians, the whole “we’re powerless” is bs that’s been conditioned unto most peoples worldwide via controlled media 'cos those in power know how dangerous it is for people to get together and start building up critical mass.

            What do you mean, “but amplified?”

            That they put down a tyrannical government as their beloved 2A states?

            What are you actually asking for here?

            There’s more population than politicians,

            And approximately half the population is in support of it and the other half aren’t the 2A gun nuts.

            the whole “we’re powerless” is bs that’s been conditioned unto most peoples worldwide via controlled media 'cos those in power know how dangerous it is for people to get together and start building up critical mass.

            Go ahead and say what you really mean here and stop dancing around the bush.

              They want armed conflict and don’t understand how to actually overthrow power. They’re being idiotic reactionaries who think dying is the best part of living. They don’t actually know how to live with their actions or choices and would quickly become ICE agents with a head injury.

                Yeah, but if you never make them say it they never have to confront how stupid their actual desired goal is.

                What they want is for American citizens to simultaneously and spontaneously rise up in open violent revolution without centralized organization. If anyone thinks for even a moment that that is possible they are hopelessly stupid.

                  They also seem like they are always mad at anyone being rational so it leads to some provocateur behavior. I labeled them as problematic third party interference in my app. My point was to be more straightforward with the messaging and call out that they are the only one calling for their flavor of pushback, and it doesn’t work.

            Yep. But the US won’t “collapse” like Germany 1945. Hell, even Germany didn’t collapse. History shows that no matter how you feel, within a few years things will go back to how they were but with new names.

                It’s a shame you don’t know history but it’s easy to understand. You’re mad at what’s happening and not listening to what others are saying.

                What other parallel would you compare this to? It isn’t some mad king alone with his army - there are massive forces at home keeping him from nuking or dropping a surge of troops like Bush did with Iraq. You seem intent on isolating this as a single unprecedented event and it really isn’t.
