Oh it's delightful seeing the shoe on the other foot.

“If there are mass protests in DC” lol what the fuck are you on about, dude couldn’t fill most of the stadiums he booked out even before corona.

Y’all tried to be blatant about it with Charlottesville and all it showed us was that the silent majority doesn’t exist and will in fact get gun shy if their leaders are being insufficiently subtle with the dogwhistles.

Now they ARE getting treated like BLM protesters.

Favorite reply to that post (well there's only 3 of them),

In all fairness, they might've been firing warning shots but it's pretty impossible not to hit one of those gravy seals given their generous girths.

Once this "right" is wiped from existence then so shall this "left".

Do you mean within the current political... situation... or in the future?

In the current political situation, that is what the National Guard is for.

In the future, the United States needs to understand that the rather harsh reality is that the political system is borked and needs change. The precedent being set by the current administration may very well result in the same thing happening in every single election moving forward. Lose, claim fraud, refuse to back down, cause strife.

The results will no longer matter, as the other side simply will not accept them. The sheer number of flaws in the electoral system compound themselves and create this perfect storm of failure. An overhaul of the political and electoral methodologies needs to happen. Things like, but not limited to:

- Moving away from the Electoral College system
- Diminishing the powers of the Executive Branch
- Adding term limits to SCOTUS
- Redistributing powers in the House and Senate
- Having elections and electoral districting be owned by a completely non partisan group
- Having unity in the electoral method amongst States
- Shortening the electoral cycle, including the amount of time between election and inauguration
- Have election results certified by non partisan group

What's happening right now should not be allowed to happen in a country like the United States. Rhetoric and conspiracy theories should never be the driving force in the acceptance of election results. The system as it is is incredibly outdated and no longer sufficient for the modern world.

Nothing, republicans will have the senate and a few inbred trump supporter might do more violence then usual. Cops and national guards have work to do.

[Zython]

Really this is not the thread for this. This is not a rant thread. This is an idea thread.

What good solutions do you have to prevent insurrection and rebellion in the US at this point?

Mass arrests, for starters.

This is where political alignment being segregated is a good thing. Most people live in cities that are politically sympathetic. It’s a simple fact of a majority. Making it so those to be harmed, are unlikely to run into those that would do harm. As soon as the assailant has to travel, there is a greater chance they will be caught, before the act.

In short... they can guff and puff... but, NFL playoffs start next week...

[Zaktar]

So let's begin with the discussion.

What is the best way to prevent insurrection and rebellion in the US? Or is it too late? Or have some elected officials already crossed over into insurrection and rebellion?

In order to discuss this we would have to accept the premise that it is a concern. Existing law enforcement is more than enough to deal with the violent dumbasses who think civil war is on the horizon.

[Kokolums]

Mass arrests, for starters.

the police have been targets of leftist protests all year. there is a 0% chance cops will be conducting mass arrests of right wing protesters. if anything, the police will join in on right wing protests. so something needs to be done before it gets that far.

And yet it's already happened. Proud Boys tried some shit over the Holidays, police arrested them. The Proud Boys thought they could start violence in the presence of police because they believed the police to be on "their side". They found themselves on the receiving end of some handcuffs and prison time. Proud Boys went from "Support the Blue" to "Fuck the Blue". Delicious delicious irony.

The police might often be racist fuckwits, but they're not all racist fuckwits. Police have already demonstrated that they won't stand for it, and they're certainly not joining in. If police ever do take part in Proud Boy rallies in uniform, the precinct will do good by firing them and stripping them of all authority immediately, and arresting them too.

You've constantly posted about how China and Russia are going to aid conservatives in a civil war, or how the right is going to become more violent and the mililtary will take their side in a civil war. Now it's the police joining in. None of these have come true, and in actual instances and examples, the opposite of what you say happens. Thus far, all authority figures BESIDES Trump have had the sense to beat down violent insurrection by the right.

lol what? You are so obsessed with the idea of unjust violence being done to the left and the left should just exercise appeasement.

you should add a 1 and a 0 in that order in front of your 0% chance, clown shoes, since they've already pepper bombed and mass arrest of proud boys protesters. The only thing that needs to be done is the continuation of mocking of civil war nutters.

See this is the part you (and many others) have missed in all this media shitshow. The vast majority of people that work for the government do their damn jobs. If a lot of right wing nutjobs show up to try to stop Biden's inauguration, the police will put them in jail. And they will use as much tear gas, batons, and police dogs as necessary to make that happen (And probably a little extra, because you know, 'Merica). If somehow there is too many for the police to handle (Unlikely), then the National Guard will enjoy doing it for them, and the National Guard vs. a mob of random MAGA cultists isn't remotely a fair fight. All these second amendment crazies that think their glock is going to intimidate an infantry battalion have absolutely no idea exactly how much ass the US military kicks if you seriously try to piss in America's cheerios.

The American Government still exists. It still follows the rules that govern society. Our President can keep raging from the toilet, and a bunch of high school dropouts can keep raging, it isn't going to change a damn thing. If the MAGA crowd really wants a Civil War, it will be over by sundown of the day they start it. The US Military isn't going with them, it is like 60% minorities.

I didn't expect the change to happen this fast. Just like I didn't expect Trump appointed judges to shoot down all the Trump lawsuits so quickly and so vehemently.

Considering they just did, you better delete this post. They just arrested a ton of Proud Boys. And since right wingers are the ones killing cops with their Boogaloo Boys, you really shouldn't say something so fucking ignorant.

The Proud Boys literally got their asses smacked by Portland PD a few days ago, what the fuck are you on about. Rofl.

Do you think he realizes, that saying police will support white nationalist rising up, at least hint at the social justice issue BLM is protesting? Regardless of how true it is... do you think he understand that he agreed with BLM?

[Kokolums]

where is biden and harris in all of this? they are the ones that for the next 4 years have to govern a massive group of voters that feel the election was stolen? why arent they stepping up and showing their leadership skill in preventing insurrection and rebellion? its like they are governing from behind. its really not helping at all. if they really want this job, this is where they can earn it before there is violence.

you think people trying to overthrow the government would be able to stand a chance once the military gets involved? there is no way a rebellion actually happens in the us... terrorism, yes... but rebellion? no...

you dont want to wait for the cops or military to settle this. they likely would join a rebellion in large numbers. the best way is brokering a peace before violence.
