“He’s joking.” “You’re taking his words out of context.” “That’s not what he means.”
Trump is completely clear about his plans to overtake our government. If he wins, he very well may become our last president and first dictator.
We don’t need weapons other than our vote.
Friend. Comrade. If you won't arm yourself, ensure your organizational and medical aid skills will pick up that slack.
Why need medical aid skills, when you can just vote the wounds to heal?
Sane people don’t recommend amassing weapons and imply anarchy over an election.
You must be thinking of the "sane" that exists in your version of the world where you believe Democrats will win the vote, Trump accepts the loss with a graceful congratulatory speech to Biden, the Mets win the world series, love conquers all, and somehow, all the fucking lunatic/racist/homophobe/suckered/religious/nutjob-types (not saying all republicans) just decide to back down and play fair.
It might not be sane people who start a civil war. But that doesn't mean sane people won't be drawn into it, or targeted.
