Sounds like the pro-democracy call would be to call in seal team 6 to kill four supreme Court justices and then replace them before the elections in November.
And then if Congress refuses to nominate your justices then you kill the Congress members that vote against you.
And you just keep killing and killing and killing until things are right again.
And that’s a good thing. I don’t want the killing to start because who is to say it will ever end?
It’s this the same group that were screaming about “setting a precedent” when trump was going to court because “oooOOOooooh we might do your guy now”.
To sum up: The GOP and its SCOTUS are all actively trying to overthrow democracy in the wake of an actual coup attempt, and a party called Democrats are now legally permitted to have them shot (and absolutely will not do that). Further, the current president is being rubbished by a corporate press so hungry for ad revenue that they prefer bad presidents.
A sad finale, played off key on a broken down saloon piano on the outskirts of a forgotten ghost town. I shall never cross its threshold again in my lifetime.
Basic human decency is a debilitating handicap in US politics.
So, which nation will bring the seeds of democracy to this ailing regime’s populace? How about you, Iraq, for old times sake?
Unfortunately, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree and their government is not so great, either.
I don’t know. Doesn’t someone need to find oil under the white house first?
Correct me if my European brain can’t comprehend this, but isn’t the whole point of the 2nd amendment to prevent the rise of tyranny?
Yes, but the wrong group is clinging to guns.
Democrats act all high-mined in their rejection of political violence and distaste for guns, but in opposing gun ownership they’ve allowed their opposition that’s just fine with political violence to own all the guns.
Well obviously a pitched battle against the maga folk isn’t going to go well, but I’m sure there’s a way to get to their god-emperor. Does the 2nd amendment also cover IEDs?
Destructive devices yes, most are legal you just gotta be permitted and register everything.
Partially, but that was before the US government controlled the most powerful military in the world. The idea that whatever weapons civilians could get their hands on would be able to overpower the military is laughable.
- The military depends on a supply chain. A general strike will cripple it within weeks.
- The US Army is very strong against other conventional armies, but has proven to be awful at unconventional warfare.
- The greatest strength of the US Army is its arsenal of bombs and the powerful deterrent of the atom bomb. If the US army bombs US territory, then it is bombing itself. A general strike is unnecessary if the factory is gone. At that point the Civil War will become a war of attrition, and autonomous insurgent cells have an inherent advantage in those.
- I expect at least a decent number of soldiers to mutiny or desert.
