Politics
For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.
Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only
▪️ Title must match the article headline
▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)
▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.
Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.
Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body. More info

I completely get what your going for.
But...
You know where this road ends? You have a big mouth now, and I get it, I get it so very much but this ends with thousands if not millions of dead Americans in a civil war.
If you have any questions about how that would work out, maybe ask Yugoslavia where these roads end and if it was all worth it.
I'm not saying you should lie on your back and let them walk over you, I'm saying you want to thread this violence needle extremely careful or you WILL get more blood than you bargained for.
Because it's what the right wants. Why do you think trump sent the National Guard and Marines for 90 days? That it's not just for LA, but for the entire US? He wants violence. He wants to take over the donor state, sanctuary cities so he can declare Marshall Law.
The parade was incredibly embarrassing for him while peaceful protests happened all over the US. The protests were full of republicans. He isn't stable and everyone knows what happens to unstable dictators.
Edit: I'm not saying the above as mod, but as a user. Lemmy doesn't let you undistinguish yourself. I also wouldn't let the right talk about shooting the left, which I am saying as mod.
Who in the world is Marshall and what are their laws
Serious question, but at what point does your stance change? Like, at what point does violent resistance become undeniably the path forward?
Peaceful protest can only go so far and can only achieve so much. I'm happy to be proven wrong.
Never.
Appreciate the response. I'll read it through and sleep on it.
