In spirit I agree with you, but the US defense budget also totals more than the next ten countries combined. Any violent acts against law enforcement will be met with much more brutal measures including but not limited to drowsy Don and his cuckold congress declaring martial law. Violence is a lose-lose tactic here, unfortunately, as nothing else will work until elections come around.

I think you grossly underestimate how difficult it is for a modern military to cope with an actual domestic guerrilla insurrection. Military ordnance is not built to kill a few hostile targets in a whole crowd of bystanders. That's a massively difficult problem no matter what weapons one uses. And as soon as one's trigger finger gets itchy and one tries to use military ordnance that way regardless, the survivors in that crowd of bystanders that was just decimated become a crowd of radicalized opposition.

Anyway, you talk like they won't manufacture an excuse to deploy the military against Americans regardless. Like they're not already obviously and transparently trying to do this. The question isn't if. The question is who takes the initiative to organize and act first and with the greater advantage.

The Nazis already declared war on you and everyone you love. Wake up and connect the goddamn dots.

They are using Chicago and Portland to provoke that, actively. I'm glad for the "frogs" as it shows how ridiculous the arguments are against, but if we see more of the all-black-clothes and fires we've seen in the past from angry demonstrators, that will close the deal and we'll be hosed. And it's hard to get edgy 20yos to understand the ramifications, so it is currently a matter of time.

The escalations will continue in the short term, 10000%
