      It’s the fantasy of people who grew up with too many movies.

      “Why don’t you just violently overthrow your own government?”

      Meanwhile people with any actual knowledge of history or human nature knew this is EXACTLY what was going to happen if fuckface won again. The conditions for violent revolution are not even CLOSE to satisfied in the US, and no amount of trying to break the system is going to get that to happen in the lifetime of anybody currently alive.

      Whether you’re brimming with hope, or buried under despair, or some kind of non-participating magical thinking idiot whackjob/Russian troll - the only potential way this ends is at a ballot box.

        dont really need violent revolution tbh, just kill the 20 or so rich fucks that fund the overhwhelming majority of “conservative” media and the various political power brokers.

        shit, AIPAC? like…6-7 people fund half of all their $, addresses and everything are pretty easy to track down

        But we’re already past the ballot box, and the Jury box doesn’t seem to hold any water. That leaves one more box
