    Dude can fuck fight off. He’s not going to scare us into submission. He’s going to start a fucking civil war, and he’s an idiot if he thinks that’s not what will happen.

      That’s exactly what his supporters want, though. An excuse to start shooting The Blahs, Jews, foreigners, LGBTQ, uppity women, and people they know to be liberal, federal workers, Hollywood/news celebrities and politicians that they hate, etc…

          That’s would appear to be the plan, yes. Push people to riot, declare marshal law, turn it into a full blown civil war and rely on the assumption that right wingnuts are more likely to be armed than those who oppose fascism. I fervently hope it does not come to that, and some way is found to stop it in time, but the future currently looks rather bleak in that respect.

            They will deputize the 2A ammosexuals that back Bronzo and make them into death squads. If it comes to that. They won’t just rely on wingnuts being armed and dangerous; they will make it clear they have license to kill, and most likely organize it.

          Will Americans get tired of being pushed around? They seem to prefer helping the fascists by pushing each other around instead, judging by the repeated attempts on Lemmy to place everything Trump does squarely under the responsibility of the non-voters.

          From my outside perspective, they like acting as the victim too much to actually fight back.

            Well, if we didn’t have so many apathetic, stubborn, and contrary people in this country, would we even be talking about Bronzo the Clown right now?

            So, yes, voters (and non-voters) ARE to blame for him being in office. He didn’t vote himself into the WH.

            Bots aside, I think that’s because we’re the rabble, meaning we haven’t fully organized and activated, since successful rebellions align people toward a shared cause.

            Recruitment takes time, but I’d encourage you to be on the lookout for less infighting and doomerism from Americans around here. Once you do, you will know they’ve found a more appealing outlet for that energy, perhaps one that actually lets them do something about it.

      He’s going to start a fucking civil war, …

      Yup.

      … and he’s an idiot if he thinks that’s not what will happen.

      It’s what he wants to happen.
