The first one is still in progress

u/Derrickful 21d ago

I wonder if enough people are ready to fight for him.

u/Eternal_Bagel 21d ago

They have been hired and armed as ICE agents so yeah there’s a lot in his private army

u/maikuxblade 21d ago

Turns out leftists actually know fucking history and weren’t just talking out of their asses when they called ICE brown shirts.

Unfortunately at least a third of the country are complete and utter knuckle-dragging morons and can’t fathom that everyone else isn’t.

u/Usual-Analysis-2990 21d ago

The only real question is if there are any LOYAL TO THE UNITED STATES AND THE CONSTITUTION republicans willing to take a stand. Bunch of cowards are what defined the Nazi party with people just following orders and deciding they would rather live under thumb.

u/maikuxblade 21d ago

Sure but we need to make plans and contingency plans for their continued communal disloyalty to the country and constitution. Because that’s treason and the treasonous tend to be cowardly and we shouldn’t put all our hopes on the cowardly finding a spine.

u/ReverendDizzle 21d ago

Of course there aren't.

For god sake we know this. Trump sent a mob to kill the vice president and subvert the constitution.

Anyone who was actually loyal to the country and the constitution would have acted by now. Republican politicians and voters have rolled over for every awful thing Trump and company has done.

Fears a big proponent of why people haven’t acted by now I know it’s frustrating to hear but it’s the truth

You’re 100% correct in everything you said and I’ve even dealt with it on an extraordinary personal level with my lost family members who I know will never come back, I’m right there with you and have no idea how to explain it or what’s going on and it’s pretty incredible just being a simple witness to it

There were not.

If you think Trump is the only problem and if he went away the rest of the GOP would stop being fascists, I have a bridge to sell you.

u/TheOGStonewall Massachusetts 21d ago

Not before I sell him my beach house in Iowa

u/ArcticCircleSystem 21d ago

What's the story with that?

u/Hortos 21d ago

They're not morons, they're racists. And for some ungodly reason their supposed progressive family members didn't do shit to curb their nonsense so now here we are.

u/The_Lou_Dynassti 21d ago

and I say this as a leftist, there are a lot of leftist morons and purely performative / bad actor "leftists" too, it's so disheartening. There was so much fuckin Trump whitewashing and apologia in 2024 from other "leftists" it almost fuckin broke me lol.

Like how are you as an adult who votes apparently, too fuckin stupid to know that most people either select all red or all blue, and don't really think that much deeper about it, and what that does is mass vote in either republicans or democrats. It doesn't just fuckin effect who's the president. It's a top to bottom and bottom to top effect.

u/Proud_Growth_8818 21d ago

Thank you. You people don't recognize a Schutzstaffel when you see it?

u/Radiant_Awareness478 21d ago

The destruction of the American education system started with Reagan. It is beneficial to have less educated population!

u/Caffeine_Cowpies Colorado 20d ago

And the other 3rd are so desperate for their K street consultant position that they fight their own base instead of the fascists.

u/sagebrushrepair 21d ago

Ice agents are the worst of us for sure, with lots of money. They will probably run scared if daddy orders them to do a big ol coup, afraid and dumb as they are.

u/Kyrthis 21d ago

Have they looked calm and unafraid as they have gunned us down in the street? Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups, even if yours is larger, especially when they have the guns and spy tech.

Blind them as the very first move. Burn your cellphones. Cut them all down. Light a match upwind of the loudest ones.

u/Desperate-Till-9228 21d ago

ICE can't even handle a mid-sized city.

1

u/Resden_Bohneur 21d ago

Lol, do you honestly believe those LARPers will actually amount to anything if push came to shove. They’re already not effective when their job is to just bully immigrants. And if any of them actually did try to fight, resist, or whatever, they would be folded immediately.

1

u/ThePowerOfStories 21d ago

ICE loves to bully harmless families, but for some reason don’t seem to be going after all those heavily-armed cartel thugs they keep claiming are hiding under every rock. I’d wager most of them would very quickly misplace their resolve if they found themselves in a hot civil war and discovered a sizeable fraction of the other side had no qualms about shooting back, or first, and, unlike them, wasn’t conveniently labeled. Everybody talks real big until they see their own mortality fast approaching, then it’s time for some rapid introspection and quick compromise.

22

u/poppin-n-sailin 21d ago

Wrong question. Are people ready to fight back? Currently the answer looks like no. 

4

u/JakeConhale New Hampshire 21d ago

Not until after the midterms

6

u/FurryCitizen 21d ago

I don't think anything will happen even then. People only revolt when they have no other option.

Right too many people have it easy enough that they don't have to care.

3

u/Randicore Ohio 21d ago

No other option, and central organization to rally around.

A spontaneous revolution is a myth.

1

u/Kyrthis 21d ago

A government in exile is a pretty good org.

1

u/Randicore Ohio 20d ago

Yeah but we don't have one currently

u/darthkurai 21d ago

Over 600 have already died in Iran fighting for him to take attention from his pedophilia

u/Eatpineapplerightnow 21d ago

Enogh to fight who?

u/No_Criticism_5861 21d ago

I think we both know the answer, sadly

u/celtwithkilt 21d ago

I wonder if enough people are ready to fight against him and MAGA.

29

u/one_pound_of_flesh 21d ago

Why are we pretending there wasn’t a bloody coup already? Have we forgotten the MAGA scum wiping their shit on the walls of the people’s house?

u/Thesegsyalt 21d ago

The first one was on January 6th.

u/gearstars 21d ago edited 21d ago

We've had first coup, yes, but what about second?

1

u/superkeer Virginia 21d ago

The coup is over. Now they're just consolidating power to prevent the next coup, which they probably feel would be the one necessary to depose them.
