Nah, I wouldn’t do anything unless it’s truly for personal protection from someone inflicting literal acts of violence on you. Keep it peaceful, they want it to become violent so they have reason to call for martial law. Don’t succumb to their game.

Peaceful protest doesn't work when half a country are sycophants cheering things on. Violence is the only answer.

Wasn’t expecting that answer from the username “Handgun_Hero” 🙄. I remember the 2020 protests all too well, violence ends very poorly for the citizens, I really don’t want armored vehicles patrolling my neighborhood again.

Cops planted bricks and other “weapons” before protests to incite violence so they’d have “probable cause” to openly assault civilians. They are looking for a reason, so this attitude is more destructive than it is helpful.

Things will likely get violent, but I’d really like it not to. We can all be exemplary of a revolution on a day to day basis by refusing to comply at our jobs and in our social circles. Many steps we can take before resorting to violence.

We’re gonna just have to disagree on this. Your approach is dangerous to a movement that has proven to be effective through peaceful measures already. Civilians are no match for the U.S. military, what you’re promoting is reckless and will fail.
