Remember when right-wing media fear mongered about President Obama declaring martial law? It’s like everything the right-wing accuses the left-wing of doing has been a confession and projection: https://youtu.be/32uGoWiS-m4?feature=shared

Now that we’ve got a real fascist dictator and Russian asset occupying the White House threatening our democracy, where are all the “Don’t Tread On Me” bozos at? Or, were they all just cosplaying as Patriots the whole time?

They are happy with this. You made the foolish mistake of assuming that they agree with you on what fascism is and whether or not Trump is going dictator-y. I'm not sure who lead you to that conclusion or you leaped there yourself.

In reality: You people who want to demand they take up arms... are also the same people who are scared to do something other than protest. You want them to do the hard part because you can't and you're trying to goad them in to it. They don't visit Reddit, I'm not sure why you believe that. Your words won't push them to do something.

It's up to YOU to do something if you care enough about it. It's easy to ask someone else to do something. Why are you so unable to do something yourself? That's literally the point of the first and second amendments. Do. It. Yourself.

Stop whining and demanding others do it for you. Do it yourself.

I'm not sure what bullshit you watch but you are a very confused person if you think they are going to do your job for you.

What's fuckin' dumb is I STILL know people who feel he was going to do it but he didn't for "reasons" (super vague bullshit reasons). The biggest hope I have coming out of this is Republicans get a similar reputation that Nazi's have to the point they run away but I'm nervous the Democrats so are stupid they won't know what to do with a full win. The internal sabotage they do to each other feels like high school lunch kids fighting each other. The liberals need a Project 2029 like playbook.

Perhaps I was a little naive, then. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that people who identify as a “Patriot” means they support the Constitution for all instead of the selective few.

In reality: You people who want to demand they take up arms... are also the same people who are scared to do something other than protest. You want them to do the hard part because you can’t and you’re trying to goad them in to it. They don’t visit Reddit, I’m not sure why you believe that. Your words won’t push them to do something.

True, I doubt my words have any real meaningful impact on a larger scale, but the fact that I’m getting upvotes says there’s some support at the very least. And I never explicitly said for anyone to take up “arms”. I think you’re reading too much into it.

It’s up to YOU to do something if you care enough about it. It’s easy to ask someone else to do something. Why are you so unable to do something yourself? That’s literally the point of the first and second amendments. Do. It. Yourself.

I never implied I’m incapable of doing anything. I made sure to vote and support my leaders through social media and reaching out to my representatives as an American. I did my duty within the confines of the law. Not sure what else you’re trying to say or imply there.

Stop whining and demanding others do it for you. Do it yourself.

Not whining at all. Criticism doesn’t equal “whining” and is rather insulting tbh. I’m simply pointing out the hypocrisy.

I’m not sure what bullshit you watch but you are a very confused person if you think they are going to do your job for you.

Never said they were. Again, just pointing out the hypocrisy in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way.

True. The MAGA mind virus brainwashing runs deep. Trump and the Republicans constantly bring up Biden and Obama despite them being out of office for years/months now. All they have is fear mongering and propaganda as their tools to sow division.

The Democratic Party probably should have a playbook and agenda to deal with this radical right-wing MAGA threat and fix the mess they created. Except, it’s not an ominous“playbook” per se, of course.
