I wish i could, but if I do, I’ll never see my children again

What about when you're in a situation where you have to report other anti-MAGA to protect yourself from MAGA? Would you rat out strangers you don't know to protect yourself and your kids?

The "but my children" excuse does not make you an ally, it makes you a liability and untrustworthy. What if they decide to deport you? You'll definitely never see your children again. What about other peoples children? Just because they're not yours, they don't matter to you? Children, aka the future, depends on you going out and fighting, not hiding behind your kids because "my kids are more important than your kids." That mindset of fear and capitulation to fascists is exactly what creates fascism, so stop using your kids as a shield from responsibility. You decided to bring your kids into this situation, not us.

There are other ways to help on the frontline that don't involve picking up a gun and getting shot. On the back end as well, people are needed. You have a unique set of skills, stop giving them to the people that bribe you with money and start using it towards your childrens future.

It's interesting you mention why Republicans are so unwilling to consolidate votes, yet the only time in history where they did consolidate votes was to prevent Hunter S Thompson from becoming sheriff of Aspen.

“Try to relax. Slow, deep breaths. Let go of your physical shell. Reach out to grasp the threads that bind us, one to another. Every action sends ripples across the galaxy. Every idea must touch another mind to live. Each emotion must mark another's spirit. We are all connected. Every living being united in a single glorious existence. Open yourself to the universe. Embrace eternity!”

I don't live there, and Americans should clean up their own mess for a change. Aren't there like 11 guns per American? Remind me the reason why Americans allowed kids to be smashed to pieces by AR-15's in their schools?

Citizens too. If you're an American, you're not safe. These people are actively threatening your lives, what are you gonna do about it? Voting won't help you. Holding up a sign or marching on a Saturday won't stop Nazi 2.0. Remember what it took to stop them last time and get it over with already!

Wtf is going on with his bicep

Plenty?

I was thinking more "DUNNN! DUNNN! DUN DUN! :ding:"

Physically put my body on roads to block coal trucks from the Great Barrier Reef. Instead of peacefully holding a sign where the police gave me permission to do so, I risked my freedom and safety by body blocking trucks and giving police chase. They never caught me, but the NYPD got me for blocking the Brooklyn Bridge during the Occupy protests (along with 800 other people).

What about you, how does your snarky Lemmy comment help fight against fascism again?

Why did I hear 'Akira' OST music when I imagined what would've happened.

How are those peaceful protests going?

People will peacefully gather and hold up signs. That's the only consequence.

Should. But who's gonna send them there? Same with Trump at this point, who can arrest him?

I'll believe it when I see it, Americans too often prove otherwise.

Is that gonna be outside any oligarchs mansions? Or is it gonna be somewhere they can safely ignore us again.

Only one in three hundred million something Americans have the balls to do anything like that.

I want the secret service to uphold their sworn oath to the constitution.

Americans wouldn't. China does.

Penguins have gone through enough already.

String him up!

This is the only appropriate response, but Americans would prefer their symbolic cinematic marches with idols giving speeches as opposed to any real solutions.
