    No the argument is they should be held to the same standard but they’re crooks, murderers, and con artists. We need to use the tools we still have to hold ground.

    Your argument seems to be since they’re already crooks, instead of strategizing and attacking their weak spots, we should throw the rule of law out the window and just all be crooks, murderers, and con artists

    They tore up the social contract. If you abide by a contract that is torn up all you’re doing is not getting paid. And the payment here is fair trials, even handed media and the right to live.

    They are in the process of tearing it up. I have a news flash for you, what they are hoping to achieve for all of America is essentially just the default way of life where I grew up. There is no justice for anyone unless you purchase it or have connections.

    If they succeed, and they take control of everything (which they have not managed to do, yet regardless of what you may think) that means it doesn’t matter if you live in a blue city or a blue state. You’re under their control. When this motherfucker has his reason to believably call for martial law in all American cities, it doesn’t matter if you’re in NYC or Meridian, MS, nothing exists to protect your rights. The rule of law will only be used to protect and benefit the wealthy.

    The problem is you feel safe that as long as you say the magic words they aren’t coming for you.

    Lmao I haven’t felt safe since Jan 20th. I grew up not feeling safe, but at least then there was a federal government that could possibly come into the corrupt town where I lived and investigate or step in if there was a serious threat. That option is just gone for the time being, but I’m not about to just cave to fear and say if it’s broken toss it out the fucking window.

    Do you actually understand why the civil rights act had to be created and enforced in the first place? Do you know who wins when you stop fighting to hold on to the protections you have? The people with the money and resources. Maybe that’s you, but it’s not me and it never has been.

    Literally a few weeks ago some gun loving psycho with connections to local law enforcement, threatened to hunt me down and shoot me and my family bc I called out a bunch of rich conservatives with heritage foundation ties that held their annual meeting in my city. Guess who I had to turn to for help when that happened? Fucking nobody.

    Anyone that believes where we’re at now is as bad as it’s going to get, is in for a rude awakening over the next 3 years. (It actually feels good to know we’re almost one down already).

    You would have to be privileged as fuck or just completely fucking clueless to actually believe that using brawn over brain to take on the people that are literally in control of every federal agency, the entire military, and all the military grade weapons that come with it, is a strategy that results in anything other than death.

    If you’re looking for an easy way to commit assisted suicide, by all means follow that strategy.

    I’m planning to keep fighting to hold on to the scraps of democracy we have left, for as long as I can, even when people threaten me.

    If you can’t understand the strategy behind holding ground vs just giving in when shit gets rough, be prepared to never get any of it back.

    That is the future when you give into this irrational bullshit. “What’s the point of holding on to what’s broken? Laws were never as effective as they should have been anyway.” Bc you don’t get a say in what they’re willing to offer you to replace it. This is the same stupid fucking strategy they use for Union busting, and people still fall for it.

    If something isn’t working the way you want, it’s just so much easier to let it all be thrown out the window.
