lol. They are going to do it anyway. Do you not see them putting everything into place?

They need to see some resistance. Chicago may give it to them (non violently of course). Unless national guards refuse to participate - I saw they got tired of standing around doing nothing and picked up trash instead).

They will declare martial law regardless. It’s the only path to remain in power

Guns aren't gonna be able to keep you safe from domestic policing escalation and martial law, they'll be used as a pretext for your prosecution. Power comes from not disengaging from the systems of self governance that made the U.S. possible in the first place.

I'm sorry, but what are those systems?

I know my comment reads as a reprimand to wanting to arm oneself, so I should clarify, the right to bare arms is one element of that system. Laws alone don't protect, and when enforcement is used to create spectacle instead of serve the public trust then reform is mandatory.

they will keep you safe from neighborhood or out of town magas who want to kill you, your family and your friends & the gay couple next door - we progressives don't want to overthrow the government by force - we want to be safe in our homes and on the street

Sure, but we should acknowledge that right up until the point where we start shooting at MAGA, having the guns makes life worse than not having them. The goal ultimately has to be 1) defeat fascism 2) Remove the guns

Exactly, and that faction has been relying on political agitators and chaos to push through their agenda. Fear and reactivity are strategic advantages for them, denying those advantages is going to slow their roll.

Exactly. Hmmmm who has more guns? Citizens or military. I know which one I think it is. How are ya gonna shoot your way out of that?

We can't. We may prevail in the midterms, if we are still allowed to vote. There's a very slim chance the military will rebel but he's managed to fire all the generals who might do that. Even eliminating trump won't stop this juggernaut. He's just a figurehead anyway.

They already have you stupid fuck look at DC. its already marital law you braindead piece of shit.

You haven't seen anything yet.

They refuse to believe it because Trump didn't say the words martial law. The entire country is in massive denial!

Dear stupid fuck, there’s been no shooting. It will be much worse when that happens. Who do you think has more guns? Citizens or military? Hmmm
