Ummmmm like 99% of lemmy users did. I said “it’s not enough” and they scream at me and say “WhAT aRe yOu dOiNg?!?!”

But now it’s in the news so I am guessing the lemmyngs will fall in line per usual.

It's not in "the news;" Current Affairs is leftwing media that liberals like to dismiss as commie tankie Russian propaganda.

You don’t even live in the US, why are you OBSESSSSSSEDDDD with US politics?

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Because it's entertaining, unfortunately affects everyone and I get to tell Americans to stop being pussies. What's not to like?

Edit: Oh this is sarcasm. In that case it's because I'm a tankie commie Russian propaganda troll trying to engineer the downfall of American democracy.

You have a mental disease.

I'd just ask them what's next

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

More peaceful protests? I’m sure they are waiting for someone to direct them.

[–] PixelPilgrim@lemmings.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I'll happily do peaceful protests that have fun things

Gonna say that when ICE uses the new rocket launchers they got this week? Your life is about to become a horror movie, and you’re “happy”

Hey, you do you.

So what exactly is the answer to ice rocket launcher? I still endorse a peaceful protest

[–] klammeraffe@lemmy.cafe 1 points 7 hours ago

What do you mean? Do you think everything is going to be fine? Ice is going to kill groups of people when Trump declares martial law in a few months. Any “resistance” will just get shot at.

I know the “this can’t be my country” is strong with the centers.

The solution is to make sure that the Trump administration cannot declare martial law. Now, I’ll let you decide what that means— As long as Trump is alive he can declare martial law.
