    Ironic coming from “Guy Fawkes”

    No insurrection is easy and risk-free. I think that’s what bothers me and many other non-american commenters on here: the expectation of comfort even during resistance.

    “Give me liberty or give me death” was not hyperbole at the time. Some things are worth dying for. Success is never certain. The only thing you can do, is fight.

      Ha, ikr???

      But here’s the thing - I’m of the opinion that there need to be some seismic changes and severe punishments for those who enabled this, both the bad actors and retarded MAGAts. Why the hell would I go it alone to fight for Dems when they won’t commit to ANY turnabout? The only way forward is doing what SHOULD’VE been done after the Civil War and stripping these Republican traitors from all levers of power for generations; I can’t even get my Rep to commit to jail time for these assholes, REGARDLESS OF ILLEGITIMATE PARDONS.

      So for me to jump in there needs to be support and reasonable chances of success, because I’m NOT taking those risks if the Red Hats that caused it get off Scot-free again.
