The constitution makes it extremely clear what to do in this situation.

Do it, you fucking pussies

[-] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Decades of chanting "we are the best" yet they cower at the thought of standing up for themselves.

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago

The people cowering and the people chanting we are the best are two completely different groups of people. The NRA is a political group made for "rising when needed", a prime example of a group in the US chanting we are the best, but the NRA doesn't see anything thats going on as wrong. Those of us that do see things going wrong are doing our best, but without mass suicide theres not a whole lot more we can do that we aren't already doing. Writing and calling politicians, showing up to town halls, protesting (violent and nonviolent). I'm not sure what you expect us to do short of forming a leftist militia that will be tienamin squared in less than 2 seconds of forming. The working class as it stands can't do much other than sit and get shot at by ice and the coast guard while waiting for a larger politician to actually fucking do something.

People down voting you can't comprehend that a country has a wide range of nuanced views among its citizens for some reason lmao

How do these people make it into adulthood

[-] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's a nice excuse to give up and let fascists drag your neighbours off to El Salvador.

Land of the Free. Home of the Brave. Yet here you are whining "but it's haaarrrrddd". Fucking grow up. It's called a fight for freedom for a reason. It's not easy.

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

You're bad at reading comprehension.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Lots of people are willing to foment civil war part 2 but very few are willing to fight in it.

It's kinda like how most Americans think that it would be better for the country if more people worked in factories, but none of those same people polled want to work in the factories themselves.

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Give me a factory job please. Give me a 9-5 with health insurance that pays me enough to live.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Sorry, this is America. Best we can do is starvation wages with unpredictable hours.

[-] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh you're just the perfect example of my very point. Thanks for backing me up.

[-] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 month ago

The number of absolute cowards in here whining at you… Christ.

[-] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Nah. That'll just make them fortify their homes and hire armed security and carry on as usual. Something more definite is needed.

[-] aaron@infosec.pub -2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

You lost leadership of the ~~Western~~ developed world.

How weak are you?

You are now aligned with the undeveloped.

[-] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wow aren't you desperate for attention.

Nobody should have control. Sadly the UN won't step up

I can guarantee you that letting China take the US's place as the boot on the neck of the world will be just as shit.

Edit: omg is this a venusaur alt account? Aaron? Do you name all your accounts after Pokémon? XD

[-] aaron@infosec.pub -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I don't care for your attention, you fucking moron. The state of you people. Trumpists twice all.

You are a stain on the developed world. Shut your mouth and leave the rest of us to it.

But of course it isn't just trump. You scuppered every climate agreement since the Kyoto Protocol, you are the most filthy people on the planet - in biospheric terms undoubtedly - you just pollute your filth over the rest of us. Disgusting people. Trump is your man. This is how history - if there is one after your excesses - will view you.

Aww did your main account just get banned for harassment and trolling again?

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

THEY MADE IT LEGAL FOR HIM TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTS OF COURSE THEY ARE IGNORING HIM

[-] seaQueue@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

pokes Schumer with a stick

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 5 points 1 month ago

Maybe he’s dead. I hope he’s dead.

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

So officially we are in a dictatorship

[-] breecher@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Well of course. That is what they are being paid to be.

[-] GaMEChld@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Once everyone is convinced that laws are meaningless shit will spiral out of control. Like whose authority would I recognize over my own at this point?

If masked thugs show up at my door they getting shot, I'm not taking their word for who they claim to be.

And even if they are who they say they are, I will not comply with what I perceive to be illegal orders that I have no good faith that I'd be able to argue in a fair court of law, and even if I were convinced of that...

WHAT DOES EVEN WINNING IN COURT MEAN IF COURTS ARE IGNORED?

[-] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

When they kick at your front door

How you gonna come?

With your hands on your head

Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in

How you gonna go?

Shot down on the pavement

Or waiting in death row

[-] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

This is real shit and all but also holy fuck is it impossible to read MJ anymore. Ads took me away from the content 3 times trying to read this.

[-] ryper@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

Mother Jones has a full-text RSS feed. No pictures, but no ads either.

[-] BigMacHole@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

So what?

-People OK with Deporting Toddlers with Cancer because their Parents are trying to Legally Immigrate!

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's okay guys, I'm sure that if you go outside and walk some more with some especially passive-aggressive signs the regime will realize their wrongdoings.

[-] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago

what's the alternative? sitting around waiting for the regime to realise they are doing bad things?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
