      I started saying this as soon as he got into office, and they got right to abusing people, and everybody laughed at me. All these months later, and it is the accepted timeline by everybody.

      He has no intention of ever leaving office, and they will do literally ANYTHING to preserve their power. Get ready.

      People should be rioting though… How else do we stop our own government from kidnapping and killing our neighbors?

      The only other effective solution I can think of is citizen sabotage, but that’s like rioting in the shadows.

        No, no, the pacifists want us to just let them continue battering and killing people. Pacifism is as bad a disease as hemophilia.

          Naive pacifism is. I’m a pacifist too, but it doesn’t take much reading to understand the reasoning behind “If you want peace, prepare for war” and acknowledge that, regrettably, violence sometimes is the only option not amounting to reckless neglect.

          Better to compromise and achieve something than to smugly die an idealist and achieve nothing.

        They’ve already destroyed mail-in voting, so on election day they will put soldiers in front of polling places to physically prevent people from voting. It’ll be significantly easier with martial law in place.
