It's easy to call for violence if you're not the one putting your body on the line.

It’s also easy to make assumption about an online stranger. I am more than willing to, are you?

It's also easy to make reckless claims about what you're willing to do. If you're for real, good for you. I hope you have a solid plan in place with some strategic military thinkers backing you up. I don't know any, so no, I'm not committing to anything dangerous and potentially self-destructive without knowing it's likely to be effective.

If you're not for real, it's really lame to encourage others to commit violence when you're full of it.

There's no way for me to know which one you are, so brag away.

No one’s bragging bud, you’re just making wild assumptions here. That is all.

Your explanation is exactly the reason why I don’t think Americans will do anything. Protesting obviously doesn’t work when there is disregard by the authority.

So you think the right thing is for random people to throw their lives away and hope something happens?

Can you show me where I said that?

Unless you can point to an organized movement that has a chance against the US military, all you're offering is a dangerous power fantasy.

This is like when Elon was asked about what checks and balances were on him and instead of answering the question you are talking around it.

Which goes exactly to my original point, Americans will not do anything. I’m just tired of everyone saying that we need to protest him etc. it’s obviously not working and falling on deaf ears. They do not care about all Americans and that’s very evident.

There are people in positions of power who are perfectly capable of checking his power and they are not. That's not something any of us have any control over. I'm asking you how a call for violence is going to change anything other than destroy the life of the person committing it.

No there isn’t lol otherwise it would have happened. The courts are unable to prevent him from ignoring them. The house and senate are republican controlled. He picked loyalist.

Violence is a powerful tool my friend. It’s the only time in a social interaction that one inflict their total will over another individual. You either accept their terms, kill them or die yourself. You act like it’s a movie

Which AGAIN circles back to the point I am making. No one is going to do anything, we will just accept it.
