Exactly. America is filled with reactionaries who are more than willing to criticize others for not taking the steps that they aren't willing to take themselves. It's a lot of "Go fight my battles for me, or you're a coward."

I want to remind people that immediately after Jan 6, people started whining that they'd all get away with it, and the government wasn't doing anything.

But the FBI combed through every video they could find, including many posted by the Traitors themselves. They identified the worst behaved, and posted their faces EVERYWHERE. Immediately, family, neighbors, co-workers, etc. started turning them in, and they started to make arrests. The DoJ went on to convict more than 1000 people, and many got multi-year sentences.

And throughout that entire process, people were constantly posting complaints about how the govt wasn't doing ANYTHING!

It's kind of the same thing now. NOTHING is not what's happening. Everyday, MAGA gets closer to the Red Lines that they cannot cross without massive resistance. They are in the midst of one lighter red line, which is killing health care in America. It wont trigger a rebellion, but when the rebellion finally happens, there will be so many people who have suffered medically and economically by MAGAs psychopathic health care policies, that they will enthusiastically support it.

For me, the biggest Red Line would be if they disappear certain close people in my life who are members of vulnerable communities. If ANYTHING were to happen any of those people, I would have nothing left to lose, and I would become a VERY dangerous man indeed.

I'm older, and I have come to the realization that dying an old man in my sleep would be a waste. I'm coming to terms with the idea that my life may have a twist ending that I never anticipated, but is starting to come into focus.
