"That's what the WOKE JUDGES say, but WE ALL KNOW they're not Americans!"
Yes, I threw up in my mouth a little bit having to come up with that. But the fact is that they can just ignore the courts and the Constitution, because who's going to stop them? The Department of Justice?
It's going to have to be you. And me. And our friends, family, neighbors. We're on the fourth box, and making use of it will entail conflicts far worse than this country has previously experienced.
Edit: By downvoting me you are advocating for violence.
I think it's too soon to say we're on the fourth box already. Let's wait until SCOTUS and the impeachment in Congress fail.
You have to stop waiting, waiting is how you ended up like that.
You first, friend. Lock and load, am I right?
Or... we could actually exhaust legal avenues before we start shooting.
For the record, I wasn't advocating a civil war. I was predicting one.
Give me a reason to think this will end any other way.
I imagine going to a foreign country and attempting to start some kind of insurrection would probably cause more problems than it would solve tbh. I'm just concerned that legal action won't be fast or effective enough to stop things getting much worse. Though blowing things up (literally and otherwise) will probably just speed everything up, good and bad.
