They said mostly. I know a few Trump supporters. They'll all agree with each other that it was a sham trial, but it wont amount to anything. They peaked with January 6th and even that was pathetic compared to real revolutions from history.
So you agree.. that wasn't an act of revolution or insurrection?
It was a feeble attempt at an insurrection by a bunch of soft skin, small minded cucks who have daddy issues. None of those people have actually suffered a fraction what they think they have.
If there actually was a real Revolution they'd get wiped out pretty quickly. At some level they actually do know that or at least the brighter ones do.
They won't do anything for the same reason that most Russians won't do anything about Putin. Actually putting your life on the line is a pretty big ask, and most of them wouldn't dare do it.
I think the scenario is flipped between Russians and US Republicans. Russians don't protest because they don't know how bad they have it. There were occupying Russians in Ukraine who didn't know what "automatic" toilets were. They only knew the manual ones where you brought in a bucket of water to pour in to flush the toilet, but because most adults in Russia only know Putin's Russia, they believe all the propaganda.
US Republicans don't know how good they have it because their propaganda is based on the world being a Zero Sum Game and any rights minorities gain means that loose equivalent rights. Legalizing Gay Marriage means their Cis Marriage has less value. But they don't really think they have it that bad. They wont admit it, but they have too much to loose with a revolution. They may want one, but they aren't willing to actually put themselves in harms way. Why do you think they all freaked the hell out over Ashli Babbitt being shot dead? None of them actually understand that that's what a real Revolution entails.
Lose: when you no lpnger have something
Loose: when you no longer wear a belt
hmm
hmmmm
hmmmmmmmm
Not sure if serious.. wipe out by who, exactly?
Police, armed forces, themselves. Every time far right forces push out an "other" group, they stater othering each other.
Themselves.
On more than one occasion in my life, they've been told not to drink bleach to cure diseases. Disinfo has a cost, and our (somewhat) stable and (somewhat) educated society is bearing the brunt of it right now. When they can't get to doctors, or they resort to prayer and holistic medicine for mortal wounds and illness, their herd will start to thin dramatically.
