      You think Le Resistance didn’t fight knowing they could end up shot dead, or worse? You don’t think they knew it was an uphill battle at all times?

      This is why there will be no American revolution, because the Americans are too egotistic to lay down their lives for their fellow countrymen.

        Americans think of people like that as Disney characters- no jobs, no families, no dreams. “The good guys” never have to risk anything because their victories are taken for granted.

        The USA is a nation of 10 year olds.

        People around here sure seem to think it is. You need to build a coalition to take them on, that takes time.

          Yeah, how many coups have succeeded without the state’s military? I’m just curious and happy to hear of examples. Couldn’t stay awake for that part of history, if they even taught it.

          Maybe I was giving op too much credit, but I assumed he was directing his demand to Congress.
