      Excuse my patronization, but I’m getting exhausted at having to explain it over and over for defeatist Americans. You have to keep up the fight even if it’s not perfect. It brings people together. It motivates people to action and become stronger as a group rather than divided as individuals. You have a country to save from the destruction and occupation by the billionaire class. There’s so many more normal Americans than there are billionaires, you all need to be in a big group to begin to realize that. If you’ve given up, the 1%ers win by default. A movement is brewing, be part of the solution rather than throwing it away because it’s not completely coherent yet. Start peacefully, take precautions as necessary, let them put all Americans on a list and prosecute you unjustly. Pre-emptive capitulation is how you all got here.

        I’m not so sure that person is simply a “deafeatist American”. Their insistence, insults, and number of posts they’re putting up to discourage us from protesting tells me it’s someone with an agenda, not on our side.

        you think i don’t know what’s going on? i’m trying to steer the energy towards something effective. i’m not trying to discourage resistance at all. i just want these children to wake up to the reality that massive protests just make us sitting ducks. this admin is more than willing to trample our constitutional rights.

        there’s no need to walk into tragedy when we can become the one who knocks. don’t wait for the fight to come to you. assume they are the fascists. they keep telling us exactly who they are. don’t wait for them to strike first. that’s how wars get lost.
