    That worked in Hong Kong right? Or tienamen square?

    This isn’t the mountains of Afghanistan or the jungles of Vietnam. There’s massive infrastructure and different levels of law enforcement and state apparatus.

      Well enjoy your death camps then since there’s clearly nothing to be done.

      I always thought Americans would at least TRY to save their democracy. But making excuses is easier.

          You have to try before you can consider it giving up. Americans have been almost completely complacent through all of this. And I don’t consider protests a form of resistance. Protests are more for satiating the protester than actually fighting back against a government. Its a completely impotent form of resistance that implies no real risk or reward.
