America was founded through protests, this administration wants to lock people up for protesting, or shoot them.

All the talk from the right about cancel culture and how the democrats either need to be shot or removed from this country. This is the kind of thing we protest about with our no kings protests and amazingly some on the right want to call it the hate America protests. Protests started this country but now they are bad according to the gop.

Who doesn't see this administration whittling away at our rights?
 
Monarchy was a system where the people didn't matter, just a few with wealth and power. The US was created to give the people power, self-rule, and not allow a few to own/control/harm others for their benefit. We have returned to oligarchy, and the people don't matter to the oligarchs. It's a question whether the country will move toward democracy or further entrench oligarchy, and it appears more likely the latter.

Because too many American can't tell the difference between democracy, and being pandered to to manipulate them by powers who exploit them. The old Ben Franklin quip about 'a republic if you can keep it' seems never more relevant. We've never before had one of our two parties threaten democracy like currently, with every branch corrupted. Many countries settle in to these authoritarian systems.

The 'real power' in the US is not the people, not the officials, but the oligarchs, who can spend money to fuel a political manipulation machine that decides who is elected.

And that oligarchy class is at war with democracy, and threatening to kill democracy with many weapons, including the Palantir and related surveillance and tools for control, the turning of America's military power into control over the American people, and more.
 
The founding resulted as a result of a bloody war.

They do not want to het rid of peaceful protesting. Thst is a lie. Too often the pritests crossthe line and are no longer peaceful.
 
What's your point? Americans are getting more pissed by the hour. It may take a bloody war to recapture our democracy.

I wish I was 20 years younger.
Yes. The left loves war, violence, hate, etc.
 
Here's a scoop. I don't want any war. But given the choice between a free democracy or a N. Korea or Russia style government, count me in.
Sorry you believe that. Presudent trymp is routing out all the bad rioters and illegal immigrants, and he is doi git legally. Domestic violence is real. You shpuld understand he has the aithority under Atrivle IV section 4 of the constitution. Laws in effect also support these actions.

You lefties have gone to far. Almost every pritest turnsg violent.

Nobody knows what this protest is about you just going to stand in the streets and burn s*** down and assault people probably kill a few people and for nothing.

Mindless nonsense is not what our country was founded on. Were they created our government they weren't making fake statements that are hardly intelligible.

You seem pretty upset. I wonder why? If you are right and things go violent it would give Trump the video he needs to go all National Guard in the Cities wouldn't it? Isn't that what you want? All those leftists rounded up and jailed for life?

Or are you afraid it won't go violent and Trump will look weak? The weak old man that he really is?
 
Oh you'll show them. Lol. You'll be there doing nothing. I take that back you might make some more right week voters thank you for that.

You could go and counter protest and show those Liberals what tough really looks like. But you won't. It's way easier to sit in your Basement and pretend to be tough. Anyway. I'll probably see a few Young Republicans there shouting about Minorities and Jews and how they are ruining everything.

Just that it took more than a protest.
20 years ago I had been retired 17 years and living abroad, so 60 would suit me better.
 
You seem pretty upset.
Do you seem like you want me to be upset wonder why.
I wonder why? If you are right and things go violent
They will.
it would give Trump the video he needs to go all National Guard in the Cities wouldn't it?
Now you're understanding. You're just a pawn in this
Isn't that what you want? All those leftists rounded up and jailed for life?
Seems to be what you want.
Or are you afraid it won't go violent
Nope not a chance.
and Trump will look weak? The weak old man that he really is?
I'm counting on you to get violent and you will so do your master bidding

So, you deal with violators, not shut down the 1st amendment.

We have a free democracy. How is anything affecting you? If you are not an illegal resident or violent protester, what is happening to you?

Close, but not quite the right question. The real question is why is there support for this administration whittling away at our rights?

And the answer is MAGAs are okay with rights restrictions so long as it is their opposition experiencing the restriction.

how is cancel culture any different than any other boycott? Some on the right boycotts business that supports what they disagree with.

Why is it OK for the left to boycott but not the rught? Are you always so hypocritical?

So you are calling a prelude to civil war.... I called it some time ago that the left will start a civil war if we have one.

I dont see it. Maybe you imagine you have the right to impose/ dictate your values on others. Everything the right is pushing back on has to do with the authoritarian push from the left. Why font you understand that?

counter protesting on someone elses protest is never agood idea. It iften leads to violence.
But you won't. It's way easier to sit in your Basement and pretend to be tough. Anyway. I'll probably see a few Young Republicans there shouting about Minorities and Jews and how they are ruining everything.
Playing the race card again. I guess your form of racism never gets old to you.
