    I call this one the “throwing Molotov cocktails”

    Where is the burn Teslas challenge? I think more KIAs were stolen than Teslas burned.

    I think the only thing to stop the tariffs is someone brave with a rifle.

      No, it’s north of ten million people deciding they’ve had enough and actually doing something about it.

        Deciding risking ruining their life is preferable to continue living as they are. A true revolution will see a lot of imprisonment, abuse, and blood. Guantanamo would be a childish game compared to what a dying regime will do to stay in power.

        Stupid kids speaking about revolution have seen too many movies and video games. Look up at Syria of Gaza if you want to see an asymmetrical battle against the most funded army in the world.

        TL:DR: Things have to get immensely worse before you recruit your freedom soldiers. It’s more feasible to work from inside the political system, which also takes decades.

          Is it me or do Americans have weird ideas of how a revolution actually looks like? Like y’all realize that the military can, and in many cases will, simply refuse orders to fire on peaceful protesters right? Doubly so in a still-sorta-democratic country like America. You’ll see more than a few arrests, hell even a few deaths, but most people should come out of it relatively unscathed. If the military does fire on protesters before a complete fascist takeover then, well, that’s the death knell of the regime right there.

          Syria was the exception in the Arab spring.

          You don’t have decades. America is being taken over by fascists now.
