    So it starts. If this is successful and he can have them thrown in prison ( most like El Salvador like he wants) then he can disappear anyone who criticize him. We should be worried and fucking storming the fucking capital. Trump and his goons got to go.

            then thing to do isn’t to say “nothing will happen” and spread helplessness online. you are a propagandist in these times now. you must hearten the people. you must electrify them to that the things they want are possiple, and that they are not alone. but they need to know what’s coming will not be planned here. it will be planned in person in real life. they will be conducted outside on and near grass

                Were you out in the streets on the 5th? Perfect time to find your people as 5 million joined you. Have you looked up your local chapter of the SRA?

                    I am with you in WNC and the only blues area are Asheville and Boone which I am an hour away from both. Any SRA or LGOA is hours away. At the protest on Saturday, I was the youngest veteran there and out of the 300 or so in my town at the event I was one of the youngest and I am 62. I have tried to get my more liberal friends to come with me to my shooting area but they have no interest. I have tried to talk with some of them in Asheville, and they seem to have no interest in getting ready for what is coming. I tried to talk to them years ago about this very thing and what we should be doing. They did not want to hear it. As a former military officer with a combat support branch and two combat actions I have knowledge. So I have resolved to shit up here on my mountain and watch it all burn because the people of WNC either don’t care or support what is going on.

      Do it Americans. Jesus fucking Christ already. Your fucking population has more guns than people, an amendment to the constitution for this exact sort of thing, and instead of rising up, you’re sitting down on the couch watching Americas got talent.

      Wake. The. Fuck. Up America!!!

        I will say, that the lack of social services, social safety nets, and collective bargaining means that the first threat against your career and source of income immediately pacifies you.

        Some other European countries that have those benefits don’t realize what kind of burden Americans are under. I am literally afraid of them starting to ‘loyalty test’ people in my profession for loyalty to ‘trump’ instead of the constitution and the presidency (as outlined by the constitution, instead of someone who wipes their hands with it).

        The American “left” is less gun oriented or violence prone than those on the right.

        We yielded that ground for an assortment of reasons. There is no credible left wing terroristic threat. There is on the right.

        Different topics, but they rhyme.

        Most of those guns are owned by people who love this shit. So you could say it kinda backfired

      For a long time now, I’ve been worried for all the reporters, comedians, and late night hosts who are speaking out against Trump
