Plenty of pushback against Trump. But the news coverage is always some mix of "These leftists are too weak to stop us" and "These leftists are ruining America! Send in tanks to crush them!"

Trump's already had somewhere north of three different assassination attempts on him. We've got protests and riots running from LA to DC. How many times does a President have to call out the National Guard to suppress the public before it counts?

    It's kinda ridiculous how out of touch the "why aren't Americans regularly shooting politicians" crowd is. Like, just completely ignoring how militarized American law enforcement is and treating the gun ownership rates as evenly distributed instead of recognizing that the same people who support Trump are the sorts to own 20-100 guns.

    Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if encouraging leftists to go out and buy guns to kill politicians is straight out of the COINTELPRO playbook, given what the FBI has been doing to the Muslim communities in the US. But no, by all means, they should keep ignoring the organizing and pushback that has actually been happening and keep baying for blood, regardless of whose

    Americans love the idea of having someone else do their dirty work for free. So the endless "Why won't anyone shoot more Republicans? I guess they're all pussies" carping is less about the actual state of American politics and much more about people on the Internet wanting a new thing to jerk off to.

    I don't know how you distinguish this from regular old Alex Jones tier bullshit.

    there should be riots in the streets at this point. He's calling out the national guard for bullshit reasons and you're allowing him. The Europeans would have driven him off by now, America is a sham lol.

    Gladly living on a continent that has nothing to do with the west. You sound like someone happy with this administration. Criticism of your shitty regime is legit, like criticism of Israel, Saudi et al. If you can't see you're no longer a democracy you need a wake up call.

    Oh, so you pity, is that it, you don't want to acknowledge the truth. Good luck with that. And kindly fuck off too, you're unable to rebut any of my statements so your comments are just attacks.
