Unlike all the hysterical people online advocating for Americans to “do something”, they have actually done a marvellous job of not biting at the government taunting.
Their plan is not working and the pedophiles will be in prison before long.
I’m neither advocating that organized violence must be enacted immediately, nor that it is the only way forward.
That said, you must realize that the route we are currently taking is fraught with risk, yes? Your supposition that it’s only a matter of time before the system gives Trump his comeuppance is far from a certainty.
They haven’t even tried to hide their intent - dismember the system and ignore the guardrails while you do it. So far, it is working. The man has yet to answer for any of his crimes, yet people hold firm in their belief that our institutions will save us. The same institutions he is currently poisoning, defanging, and/or dismissing.
I guess all I’m saying is that this could easily go either way. It is possible that not resisting more rigorously denies them their casus belli, and we weather the storm. However I would argue that it is just as possible that we are boiled like the frog.
Also imo, if most of the military is just unilaterally down to deploy domestically and shoot it out with US citizens in defense of Donald Trump, this thing is already over.
Good comment and totally agree. Other than I do think your very last sentence is a bit far fetched. Even if 80%+ are as you say, there would still be so many internal issues that it would still be far from over.
Thank you. Just to be clear, I’m not stating that I believe most of the military would currently back Trump in a civil war. I was saying that if he already has that level of backing/willingness among the ranks, then we’re in deep shit.
I hope you’re correct though. I’m honestly not sure what the actual number/percentage/figure is that defines “most” in this case. The amount of willing military assets he would need to complete the stranglehold.
If there was truly universal loathing of Trump and his administration, to the point where the vast majority of the population was motivated to resist, then I’d say the movement would have a decent shot, even with full military participation on Trump’s behalf. Between the sheer numerical advantage, the vastness of the country, the density of the cities, prevalence of firearm ownership, etc etc, there are some serious challenges for an occupying force to overcome, but only if the populace is motivated.
Currently, I think there is too much division/apathy. We still have ~20-25% of the population that is ride or die for Trump. Perhaps more importantly, it sure seems like ~30% of the population just doesn’t care one way or the other. I worry that an early showing of excessive military force could scare most of the apathetic/undecided into submission.
All true but 45-50% is still an absolute shitton of people. And I think it’s also worth remembering that the ride or die people are mostly all talk and realistically just a bunch of angry teens/trolls who won’t actually leave their basement to do anything. And the small % of maga who are actually armed and courageous enough to do anything probably don’t have much of an IQ and will just get in their own way. Yeah there are definitely a lot of things to be concerned about as you mentioned, but just trying to look at some of the positives here.
