    It’s a great way to get arrested or killed, scare people away from resistance for fear of their safety, and embolden fascism by turning a constitutionally protected peaceful resistance into a domestic threat.

    How many people with guns do you estimate it takes to overthrow the largest military in the world by force?

    I think it’s hilarious that the US navy has the second largest Air Force in the world but people think they’re going to take it on with some handguns and rifles.

        So you think it makes sense to bring violence and provoke that step before we have the numbers we need for a successful resistance, rather than continuing to grow our numbers under our legal protections?

        Do you see how your argument makes no sense?

          Then why haven’t we been arrested for protesting yet? Oh, right, because it’s still protected.

          Maybe you should talk to a therapist about those big feelings instead of typing all caps and name-calling.

            Its not even fiction. Palpatine's rise to power is based on actual history. Both the Roman Empire and WW2 Germany had that happen.

            I mean true. At least Germany and Romans didn't have JarJar.

              Unfortunately probably not in this day and age. Cutting-edge identification AI and drone tech, and of course weaponry, will be used against the civilian population. It has all been subverted to oppress us and control us.

                "today we declare independence from the USA" was a particularly nice headline from the guardian

                  The civil war that follows isn't even the difficult part.

                  The difficult part is coming up with a vision for the time after the civil war. And that's gonna be difficult. If americans couldn't agree on a policy before 2025, why would they be able to come up with one after that?

                    I just want to mention that there's a series of difficulties:

                    • practically, a good 20% - 30% are still backing trump, especially among "republicans for life". It would be easy to topple a government if 99% of the population despised it, but if 20% back it, it's difficult because it can retract and re-collect strength.
                    • normally, conflicts are decided by who can stay solvent longer, i.e. who has more money. normally, that would be blue states, but if trump can just print money through the federal reserve, then that kinda makes that point more questionable. blue states kinda would have to start using their own currency, or some foreign currency like the canadian dollar or the mexican pesos, to be fiscally independent from washington. that's a logistic challenge to pull off so quickly. but it can be done.
                    • then there's a shitload of cultural issues. the vietnam kicked the american's butt because they were fierce and willing to die for their cause, because they were willing to die for their community. america doesn't have communities like that, america is very atomistic, i.e. everybody fights for themselves. establishing a good sense of community is a whole lot of work and takes a long time. i don't see it happening overnight.

                      omg guys calm down holy fuck. I swear to God progressive and leftists are the masters of infighting, I wish we could not squabble like this. whatever anyone is doing is good, I know it comes from a good place but we've got to stop all this incessant bitter. people on the right go along with whatever batshit insane plan their chosen lunatics shovel out, while we debate about semantics and methods lmao

                        republicans are so far gone they would welcome a tyrant if it was trump. he is their religion now.

                        Yes, if trump told his supporters that he needs to shit in their mouths to own the libs and they would happily open their mouths.

                          The only times americans revolted against their government was when americans were fighting to KEEP slavery. So I wouldnt get my hopes up.
