      Given recent examples of how the government responds to protesters, I do not believe individuals threatening violence can convince congress to do anything other than violently crack down on individuals threatening violence.

        Cool. So your political morality is just one in which the government’s entitlement to your obedience increases in direct proportion to how willing it is to fucking kill you.

            Lol, wuss. Not surprised you deleted your comment, you don’t have any guts to stand by your beliefs or convictions, or even your “witty” one liners.

              So you’re saying people shouldn’t retract statements that get downvoted? Ok

              I’ll say it again then. Call me when you’re ready to do a blue January 6th lol

              Also you’re getting mad at me for being the victim of coercion, and pretending that coercion is not a valid motivator to do things. If someone is gonna kill me, of course I’m gonna do what they say

                Yes that is what I’m saying. There is no karma system here, this isn’t reddit. Standby your words if you’re going to make them. Don’t wuss out just because some people disagreed with you. If you don’t believe your words, then say you made a mistake, but hiding them is just pure cowardice when your life isn’t on the line.

                And at what point did I get mad at you for being a victim of coercion?

                And yeah I saw your “line”, it’s some pithy reply your types like to pull out when you don’t have a real argument.

        Considering how our government responds to citizens in general, including depriving them of the Right to Due Process, the underpinning of the social contract between the populace and the state. I honestly don’t see much of a difference except in one scenario you’re empowered with a group to fight back and the other you’re being impregnated or killed inside one of the Concentration Camps.

        Do you believe it’s better to just roll over and do nothing?
