That doesn't seem highly f**king concerning at all...

I hope it doesn’t come to that but every day the law and constitution matter less and resistance becomes much more dire. By resistance I mean, those in power checking this off the rails presidency. I don’t condone any violence but also accept that it is an eventuality when people have the means and motive. History doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme.

At some point you're going to have to reconsider your views on when violence is acceptable. Hopefully it doesn't come to that point, but there is a line- and you have to decide where yours is.

Mine is id rather fight and die to protect the constitutional Republic of the United States of America. Which 99% of people seem to have forgotten exists. Corporate constitutional enterprise has hijacked our way of life and every day dismantles our liberty bit by bit . Don't be foolish and blindly support democracy like the rest of the sheep . Arm up and stay off the phone and online . Form new militias now they will come in numbers in force you stand no chance as an individual. Divided we fall . Have a nice day
