    go and fuck your hat. I’m a coward because I don’t want to stand up to the most powerful military in the world being damn near a senior citizen?

      Bro, they on your side.

      No one expects you to go Rambo. They just want the majority of people to find their morals and do something.

      As unlikely as that is dont get so worked up because some anon was provoking you to do exactly what you just did. Maybe tomorrow you wont take down your local police department but instead look at a homeless person and think, “this isnt right.”

        I do contribute. Drive for a local charity a few hours a month. They need a truck, I got a truck.

        I’m frustrated as fuck with the govt. right now. but, they voted it in and now we have to try to get through it. I hope it doesn’t end with bloodshed.

          Thats it man, youre leagues above. Dont let the politics trigger you. Youre losing yourself to something you cant control.

          Same goes for me.

        Really just outs the commenter as having no fucking clue what they are talking about.

        We are doing what we can. Constant record breaking protests. Progressives are winning by historic margins. These stupid fucking pretentious insulting comments do less than nothing.

        People really just cannot fucking comprehend the breadth and intensity of the psy op propaganda that the Republicans have enacted (really since Nixon) but intensely starting with Trump.

        Unprecedented targetting, unprecedented amounts of propaganda, and a collaboration with multiple foreign adversaries to assist. Trumps campaign was literally sending voter data to Russia so they can specifically target Americans with propaganda.

        On top of OAN, Fox News, podcasts, and talk radio, we literally had Russia and china making thousands of full on fake websites posing as legit news spreading insane anti left bullshit. Social media was completely flooded with bots spreading misinformation leading up to all of Trump’s elections

        America is the victim of the biggest and most advanced brainwashing campaign in the history of mankind and we all seem to be ignoring that fact when it is the single most important aspect of modern American and global politics.

            You try changing people’s opinions when you can’t even agree on what is and what isn’t reality. I really don’t think you guys have any idea how broken half of this country is. We do. Because we have to deal with these people on a daily basis. Some of them are our family.

      Yeah why aren’t me and you single handedly overthrowing this democratically elected government! We must be stupid or something

      I love seeing foreigners asking Americans online why they don’t just stop this.

      Like, motherfucker millions of us voted against this.

      This is the result of multiple nations and multiple massive data analytics corps collaborating to create the biggest propaganda machine ever seen on earth which brainwashed millions of Americans.

      But yeah. Why the fuck isnt Dave, the liberal from Vermont just walking to Washington and stopping this!!! /s

          It’s not, though. Europeans in the fediverse have consistently made this argument since the election.

            No. But the American logic has always been “we must do something” -> “this is something” -> “therefore we must do it”. Take the dumbest idea and run with it, or use it as an excuse for inaction.

          Excellent retort. Now go feel high and mighty.

          You’ve really made a difference by insulting people who agree with you and are already using their means to fight against this admin

          You are a true revolutionary.

          Wish you could go back in time and tell all the Jews in Germany who didn’t vote for Hitler that they are stupid for not stopping him. That would be really constructive. You could really save us some trouble there.

            You’re comparing the american people to the jews in 1940? The jews were a tiny minority and they had the state AND the public against them.

      You are a coward. Along with the millions who stayed home on voting day, letting this global nightmare happen. 2nd amendment you yanks love to waive around in everyone’s face, was made for this. Yet … crickets.
