Isn't this the exact type of thing the 2nd Amendment types were supposed to have their guns and militia to guard against?

What's an illegal protest? I thought first amendment speech covered that

Also, how can he expel a student from a school he doesn't control? or does he mean expel students from the country?

Opposing genocide.

Oh you precious child.

The schools don't need Trump to expel their own students.

An illegal protest, according to conservatives, is any protest they disagree with. Waving picket signs or blocking traffic is disruptive, destructive, and illegal. Storming the capitol is, on the other hand, a perfectly acceptable peaceful protest.

"You know the best strategy to counter this is to do nothing, it will burn itself out after awhile. If a few people die or get imprisoned well that's okay as long as I don't have to do anything difficult or will affect my portfolio and control. "

obviously I made this quote up but it is how I feel about the people in power that say they are against this administration but really are doing jack shit to support or engage the population. Sure there are some that are doing somethings and I appreciate that, but fuck man do most of the "opposition" party really not have a spine? Like what the fuck, there are millions of citizens that are genuinely scared for their life and freedom and all we are getting is crickets...

That's because left-wing politicians are still politicians. They want to remain politicians they don't want to end up getting arrested or lose their jobs, so they are only going to push back against this to the limit of which they think they can get away with, which basically means making statements, but otherwise not really doing anything.

If you want action you'll have to do it yourself. Unfortunately this does present a bit of a problem because you are then playing into the narrative that the Right have, that everyone who opposes them is a criminal. Because by definition you'll have to commit crimes in order to oppose them, since they will make opposing them a crime. Welcome to the wonderful circular logic of extremists.
