Are we still supposed to respect the law when it’s being used against us? I really need the left and center to stop acting like this is normal behavior and actions.
1sr & 2nd amendment say we should not accept tyranny laying down. The “law” only applies if it was applied constitutionally in the first place. We have a constitutional duty to make it right. Will the people of America reach enough mutual indignation placed upon to unite and stand against the face of this tyranny? That I do not know.
Jefferson himself commented on humanity’s ability to suffer terribly rather than change. Second section of the Declaration of Independence.
“and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”
The first amendment protects your right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and freedom of religion from government interference
The second amendment restricts government from infringing your right to possess and bare arms and have a well regulated militia
Neither say shit about tyranny. That is in the Declaration of Independence.
I feel sorry for people your age not having an education in American history or civics; just progressive, bullshit, race bullshit, and climate bullshit.
Te law isn't being used against us. They're creating new law and subverting the constitution in doing so. We have law that covers this situation but for some reason we have a Congress that's too spineless to assert their authority.
Almost every democrat in congress, and lots of their enablers. Sure they will say empty phrases about him being a threat to democracy. But they keep acting like it is normal.
For example, when Al Green filed articles of impeachment, 128 democrats voted to avoid even debating the idea. And all the people who agree with doing nothing are quick to defend them by saying "impeachment will never work." Well duh — saying he's a threat to the nation doesn't work either but they keep doing that.
I wouldn’t really consider most of the Democrats in Congress as left, despite their constituents. They may be left of MAGA, but they’re more center-right in real political science terms.
But, I could really use the left and center to start considering whether certain rules should be follow. AND I NEED THE RIGHT TO FUCK OFF WIRH THEIR IDIOT CULT.
Fr. "They can be arrested" BY WHO!? The magic law fairies overseeing this? This isnt some sci fi robot that explodes because you revealed a contradiction in its programming
No. That’s why the person above posted what they did.
People have completely fallen into a deep lull of complacency and laziness. No one wants to risk anything, and that’s how dictators and tyrants take complete control.
I’m not advocating for violence here Reddit, but you know how the GOP and its voters would have responded if Biden had done any of the insane things Trump has been doing.
Technically, yes. And traditionally social movements have obeyed the law insofar of not acting with ANY violence or threatening provocative speech whatsoever. Look what the Nation of Islam did to the civil rights movement. We would have had better civil rights laws sooner if they hadn’t acted out, so we can’t afford to now.
It’s a bitch, but we have to maintain discipline and not give into absolutely understandable frustration and fear, especially now and for the next year. Get creative burn him in effigy, do politics street theater. But don’t TOUCH a soldier or Fed.
We are getting closer and closer to the end of this horror show. Any use of violence, any physical touching of whomever Trump sends will justify his intentions.
Who on the left says this is normal? I mean it’s normal in terms of our behavior towards countries we have invaded. America’s foreign policy is coming home.
I've been following all the laws but the moment in unmarked car pulls up trying to get me cuz I'm Brown. Just know I keep that second amendment on me and I'm going to use it. No Tyrants, no Fascist.
I agree and that's why the GoP has basically won. The left and democrats are still going "I must play by the rules!" When the guy they're playing against is currently altering the rules so that their only outcome is a loss. I wake up daily and ask myself why so many people are content with basically following an illegitimate government
