    If you want to get real about it, the short answer: it’s too early.

    If you look at every successful ousting of a corrupting party in modern history, it never starts with pitchforks or guns this early. Start too early, and they have a reason to suspend the laws in effect that are slowing them down. In essence, if one of them gets killed, thousands of US citizens are killed, or worse, just to prove a point.

    Second, you have to allow them time to erode any popular support they may have. As noted above, going too hard too early gives them a chance to pull a Hitler and do a “SEEEE??? WE NEED TO STOP THEM ALL!!! I WAS RIGHT!”. Not the best place to start when something like 30% of the population may be diehard (literally) supporters. Shit will go south for everyone super fast.

    Lastly, every element in this group is already doing the hard part for the rest of us: proving they are absolutely incapable of running a country. The more that people see this and come to understand and detach from that alignment is a good thing.

    The bad part of all it: it takes time. Just making a dramatic point isn’t going to change minds. Allowing these woefully incapable and idiotic pieces of shit to ruin an entire country’s lives may unfortunately be what it’s going to take before the military folks step away from them, their supporters, businesses, and as much as I fucking hate to say it, his billionaire buddies who all belong in prison right now. They all need to detach from that teat first before any meaningful and drastic movements can be made.

      That’s actually a very good point mate I think he might already be aiming for the ss bit faster than you can react though might have to do preemptive action to at least slow the process.

      One thing I feel is lacking is an organised resistance I see aoc on tv and it looks great but the rest of her party are mostly shit.

        Why do you think he pardoned all the J6 people?

        He plans to deputize them at some point and let them run wild. He won’t try to invoke military control at first, because every nation that has the ability will wipe them out faster than they can react. Again, these people are dumb as hell.
