So how much more fascism will Americans tolerate before they actually do something.

    Who is this “you keep flashing”? Who is it you think you are talking to? We are not them. I suspect most commenters’ histories here will not depict a “wannabe Rambo”. The people you wanna yell at aren’t here.

      You as a people. Not you Mr. Nice Guy who doesn’t own a gun.

      America is awash with guns and gun owners who don’t like what’s going on one bit. Where are they with their guns? They keep saying guns are necessary in part to keep the government in check, they go to the range and shoot boxloads of ammos to “train”, some of them are preppers and talk big about defending the constitution and the American way of life. And yet when a fucking fascist is installing a dictatorship before their very eyes… suddenly, not a peep.

      Fucking pretend tough guys. That’s what Americans are - as a nation, not you Mr. Nice Guy.

        Keep in mind many of these tough guy internet warriors you are talking about are waiting for their chance to shoot the protestors. They won’t be going after the government.

        And those that are against the oligarchy that is transforming our aristocratic governing body and country into a dystopian nightmare… You expect them to just start shooting? Is that really the solution?

        What then? All out civil war? Without international intervention it’s pretty obvious which side would come out victorious. It’s not those that want equal rights and a better country for everyone. It will be those that are willing to sacrifice everyone else for their own personal gain.

        Mr. Nice Guy uses medical marijuana and isn’t allowed to own a gun. No protection for Mr. Nice Guy. Aww sads. No one needs your condescension.

          I wasn’t being condescending and I wasn’t asking you why you don’t own a gun.

          I don’t either. I hate firearms. As such, neither you or I are in a position to exercize our 2nd amendment right. It’s not for everybody.

          But there are plenty of people in America who DO own a gun and who DO talk big, but don’t walk the talk when it matters the most. That’s my point.
