    The bullies will have tanks and APCs when Trump enacts martial law if ICE is under attack.

      Then so be it. It would have been that at the start, and it will be that now.

      What are people waiting for, the US military to spontaneously combust?

      Fight now, or fight harder later. Those are your options unless you plan to run. Understand that.

        That’s some top tier delusion. “Fight now”, lol. With handguns? With buckets of paint? Against APCs and drones?

        Wake up, man! It’s not the 18th century! The only hope the US has is a crushing midterms victory by the Democrats, then maybe they put these bastards in prison.

        If not, it’s going to be blood on the streets, if not flat out a civil war, with thousands dead.

          Foreign interference account.

          No one believes legitimate midterm elections are happening. Or that if they happen, the results will be accepted by MAGA. No one.

          Anyone pushing for “we must crush them in the elections” is either willfully pushing a false narrative, or a complete fucking moron.

            Yes, what idiots.

            Who strives to live in a democracy? That’s so 1900s.

            What we really need is faceless anonymous strangers telling other people to commit violence. You know, just like the founders intended.

                I’ve seen Andor so I understand your point.

                In order for you to understand my counter argument you will need to read War and Peace, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and the first three Harry Potter novels. Let me know when you’re finished and then I’ll respond.

                  My nation was almost wiped down and 70% died from forced famine. Later during peaceful protests they were shot down with rifles. And this shit happened several times. So far what worked:

                  1. good representatives getting to high positions like Mamdani and then negotiating with others but that time people were not devils like conservatives nowadays.
                  2. violent over throw though other bad countries gathered and sent troops, snipers to shoot down anyone who appears outside. I don’t think other nations will help USA with domestic problems. I want a vengeance as it is also effective and fast method rather than playing long game

                    You forgot:

                    1. The Soviet Union falling apart 50 years later

                    It wasn’t the killing of security forces that gave you independence, it was the culmination of a lot of factors that led to the downfall of the Soviet Union and former Soviet states declaring independence.

                    By promoting violence in the US, you’re marching lock-step with the Russians. So either you’re a Russian, in which case I hope you headbutt an artillery round, or you’re Ukrainian in which case it seems weird to wish internal violence on one of the countries providing you with the weapons manufacturing that you require to defend your country from capture. I can’t imagine that the US falling into civil war will increase the weapon shipments.

            So, in your opinion, a civil war with thousands dead is the better alternative?

              Correct. Because it will so obviously be worse than that if it doesn’t happen.

              This is my opinion.

                My opinion is that it’s better to attempt winning mid-terms and getting rid of the trash peacefully than going all out just because they’ll probably cheat during elections.
