Yes that is what I'm saying. There is no karma system here, this isn't reddit. Standby your words if you're going to make them. Don't wuss out just because some people disagreed with you. If you don't believe your words, then say you made a mistake, but hiding them is just pure cowardice when your life isn't on the line.

And at what point did I get mad at you for being a victim of coercion?

And yeah I saw your "line", it's some pithy reply your types like to pull out when you don't have a real argument.

    I'll be honest. You have a point. January may look a lot different.

    On the other hand, keeping people angry, keeps them active. Right now representatives across the board are being slammed by calls, and letters about Schumer and Jeffries and demanding change. Personally I'm okay with people thinking shit won't get done and demanding better now, and into the future, even if it's borne from a misconception.

    Same reason why I believe getting armed and organized is also a parallel solution so we have some extra bite to our demands.

    Angry people DO things, and that's what we want right now. That's a vector for change.

    Considering how our government responds to citizens in general, including depriving them of the Right to Due Process, the underpinning of the social contract between the populace and the state. I honestly don't see much of a difference except in one scenario you're empowered with a group to fight back and the other you're being impregnated or killed inside one of the Concentration Camps.

    Do you believe it's better to just roll over and do nothing?

    I mean I would in a heart beat. There are a couple votes that I don't agree with in her career, but she seems like a decent person who wants to do right by the country.

    Even if a revolution happened, and she was put forward as potential leader of the new government, I would vote for her on those criteria.

    People like yourself need to stop wussing out in advance, imo.

    Someone brought a guillotine to a city council meeting in Salem, Oregon on July 27, 2026. Not a sign shaped like one. Not a drawing. According to community accounts and social media posts, an actual guillotine structure appeared at the protest outside Loucks Auditorium, where hundreds of residents had gathered to oppose a proposed multi-billion-dollar AI data center. Company representatives reportedly assessed the scene and left, citing safety concerns — though that detail hasn't appeared in formal news coverage or official minutes.
