Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I think you're confusing things a bit, the proponents of gun control are the ones who put this forward. The people in favor of child murder are the ones who would be most targeted by this, because they seem to also love corruption.
Or are you advocating for gun use, because a fuckload of children will die when that kicks off, so it's best to delay. Also, Trump is losing support by the day here. He's wildly unpopular and openly declining.
Right now the optics are on our side, so when ICE rolls into town, you go protest, stand in front of your neighbors, but keep it non-violent. At least from your end, ICE will be violent sociopaths, but fuck, I can take it. Or if I can't, it was a good run.
No, I firmly believe that now is not the time for violence. We will all know when it's time.
Rest of the comment aside I think this is untrue and not a good position to be arguing. We have already passed many things that people would have thought completely unthinkable, I think it is dangerous to assume it will just be obvious. We all have lives and unless we are individually targeted they will just go on- getting worse little by little, every passing day, and you will get used to it
Regardless of where you draw your line, people will not all just innately know, people must draw their line consciously and decide when it has been crossed over
No, you will know when it's time because there will be some spark, some incident that pushes normies to the brink. It will be quiet at first, and then it will just keep blowing up to the point where it's all anyone will talk about, and then, it will be time for violence. Everyone will sort of agree on violence at the same time, but the who and how will be different. It will be a chaotic mess of mass murder and retaliatory mass murder. Because that's what it looks like when it's time for violence.
There are no winners when it's time for violence. Which is why it's not time yet. But trust me, we will know when it is.
Maybe? You might think a global pedophile conspiracy with connections to top government officials around the world would set it off. Or the fact that people implicated in that global pedophile conspiracy keep conveniently dying. Or the fact that one of the central players in said conspiracy is now the president of the US, and has surrounded himself with government paid lawyers and politicians, in a so-far-successful bid to insulate himself and other billionaires from legal trouble associated with raping children.
But maybe there will be another spark who knows?
Together, we must all draw a line, and say this far and no further whether it effects me or not. Unfortunately my line is far crossed.
"Keep it nonviolent" while they use you for target practice.
Fuck man. We all know the only way this actually changes and it sure as shit isn't with all of us holding hands and talking about how what they are doing makes us feel inside.
I'm not confused. Shoot the tyrants. The time for violence was when corporations and politicians agreed bribery was legal. And before that when the housing market was turned into a circle jerk, and before that when the cops decided because of the Rodney King riots they needed military gear, and before that when Reagan rat fucked the world by making the petrodollar, and before that when companies thought they could pay people in funny money. Violence is the tool of the masses when their leaders think themselves above all else. You haven't been taught that because its the only thing keeping capitalism running.
If you're so gung ho for violence, then go do it.
But that's counter productive right now.
Fuck for all I know, you're an agent provocateur with that shit.
Do you honestly believe that the tyrants will die easy? or that the military and police will stand aside before the actual tipping point is reached?
No, all you're doing is telling people to go commit suicide by cop, so that the cops will have another excuse to crack down on left wing groups.
If you think this is some sort of gotcha, its not. When people can't eat cause of Trump's policies it will happen on its own.
That's the tipping point, when the police and military stand aside.
MAGA will not, but every successful revolution has the police and military mostly stand aside or join in.
Until that happens, likely after the election, you should either bunker down or preferably get out and peacefully protest.
