The people saying they haven't heard US citizens oppose what their govt is doing, just are trying to hear it. MuRicA bAd! No, American politicians are bad. American people are being disenfranchised by the wealthy, just like in Russia or China. I dont think all Russians or Chinese are bad people. I've worked with some wonderful Russian and Chinese people.
Its all been lies as long as Ive been alive. True integrity in journalism has always been rare and an uphill battle. As soon as you come to terms with the fact that monied interests are never going to stop manipulating media, its easier to not take any of it too seriously.
Doesn't matter the citizenship of the assholes. They want to prop up the defense industry with more contracts and protect other financial interests of the wealthy. Its a class thing not a nationality/ethnic/religious thing.
Someone pointed out in another thread that schools and govt buildings where polling stations are already dont permit guns. But if ther are 50 of us there, the 10 of them they can muster will run like the cowards they are.
Im considering finding a local polling location where I can stand watch and gather other like minded people so there are more of us than them there. They will be the intimidated, they are the minority.
Great point. Maybe the legal observer and whistle approach, coupled with a de-arresting strategy would work? Im just throwing ideas out there. We need to be thinking and acting now to be ready come Nov.
2/3 of murders in Minneapolis MN were committed my ICE agents this year. They say they want to make us safer.
I have frequently said, I have never been helped or protected by law enforcement. I have needed their help, and received shrugs. Overall, the world is a lot safer than government would have you believe, and they only want to protect capital anyway.
The Trump administration has been burning through lackeys since 2016. There aren't enough people that are willing to commit crimes and ignire the constitution for very long. Even the dumb podcasters that voted and touted Trump are turning on him. This will implode eventually, probably in Nov.
I feel you. Ill do something nice, like open a door and smile, then immediately turn and ignore them.
