We we are waiting for the results of the next two elections, and the MAGA response to those elections. That will determine next steps.
Civil War following the cancellation of elections, is NOT a prediction or a suggestion. It is literally the automatic result of the cancellation of elections. If that happens, it invalidates our system of government, which is ENTIRELY built on the concept of elected representation. Cancel elections, and you are unilaterally ending American Democracy, and we are in a Civil War, by default.
They should be fighting back NOW, not waiting until its too late
We are fighting back, making sure we have as free an election as we can have in November.
That hasn't always been the case. In 2016 and 2024, the Dem leadership did absolutely nothing about the obvious election interference that was happening directly in front their faces, as well as ignored the increasing treasonous rhetoric, the Epstein Files, corruption, treason, etc. They prioritized politeness over defending their country.
At least now the elected Dems are starting to match MAGA energy wherever possible. They are stating to ignore Dem leadership, and doing what we want. It is unlikely that Jeffries will survive as Speaker, and Schmuck is already dead in the water. He's only staying on to keep insider trading, and shill for Israel.
Violence is a legitimate option, but it is an inappropriate choice when we still have legitimate Constitutional checkpoints to make it through first. If those checkpoints fail due to MAGA interference, THEN violence becomes the appropriate option.
Or you could fight back NOW before fascism fully takes over and it might be too late
I just said that we ARE fighting back, just not with violence. The Dems are doing lots of things, some are succeeding (like keeping the message on corruption, the Epstein Files, and the AmerIsraeli War), some aren't (redistricting), but they are definitely pushing much harder than we've seen in the past.
Look at how many special elections around the country that have flipped from Red to Blue. Every one of those flips was a ferocious FIGHT.
The Dems are winning far more than they are losing, and that's all due to the increased level of resistance. You want VIOLENCE, but that would be seriously counterproductive at this stage.
MAGA believe in violence, because they are too stupid to figure out any other way. We are smarter than they are, by a long ways, and we can outsmart them for now, and hold the Violence Option for when all other options have run out.
No, civil war isn't the automatic consequence of ending democracy. Civil war requires people willing and able to fight it. The automatic consequence of ending democracy is dictatorship
Well, we know YOU are too cowardly too defend your country. I hope you like the taste of MAGA boots, since your tongue will be on a lot of them.
Where do you get the idea I'm saying not to fight? I'm saying hurry up and get to it before it's too late
You're the one saying that a Civil War won't happen, so you are advocating for not fighting.
I'm saying it is still on the list of options, but there are better options at this stage. I'm ready to go, when the time is right.
I see, you've confused predicting what will happen with saying what should happen. I want Americans to fight back. I'm saying there's no reason to believe it's an inevitability. It should already be happening. The fact that it's not gives me the idea it won't. People keep saying if this next thing happens, it'll lead to civil war and then it happens and there's still no civil war, they just say but if the next thing happens surely that will lead to civil war
And like I've said, it IS happening, we are fighting back, but we aren't choosing violence at this stage, and foreigners don't get it.
There are other ways to fight back in America, and MOST of them are more effective than violence. Winning the Midterm election will have a MUCH larger negative impact on MAGA than unorganized and unmanaged violence. That would just be counterproductive at this stage.
Only if MAGA comes to Canada
Oh, I get it, another foreigner who doesn't understand anything about our government pushing for violence that would kill thousands, and empower MAGA to go full-on dictatorship, and then kill millions.
Bottom Line: Nobody in America, MAGA or not, cares what you foreigners think. None of you get it.
