Step 2: revisit Heller, etc. and stress well run milita part.

Step 3: confiscate all non milita weapons.

Step 4: burn Constitution?

    This guy has the worldview and the emotional maturity of a toddler. After this whole thing has passed, there MUST be guardrails put in place against this kind of individual

      This whole thing isn’t going to pass. Trump/Hegseth are only external expressions of the fundamental rot at the heart of America’s social, political and economic systems. America is in terminal decline and putting guardrails around the presidency is too little, too late

        Yes, when I said “has passed”, I mean “when the people of the United States have vanquished this specific version of fascism”. I wasn’t suggesting that it was going to pass on its own.

      We had a chance. Biden’s administration should have been solely focused on preventing the return and acceleration of fascism. Instead, they cowed to their corporate masters and threw crumbs to the people.

      As others have said, we’ve likely had our last free election as the United States of America. Whatever follows should absolutely have guardrails against this happening again.

        And heaven forbid they actually prosecute the guy who tried a violent coup against the government. At least Hitler served time in prison fir his failed coup

        Do you think there’s nothing else to be done simply because elections are over? That just means we need to do something else.

          I have a belief of what will be required, likely aligned to your something else. I just don’t think it is a good idea to broadcast it on the Internet.

      This is likely the end of the road my friend, there is no “when this has passed”.

      That is why there is no reason not to fight with everything you have now.

        I don’t have a say in what happens in the US, I am fighting locally on our own issues here in Mayotte. I wasn’t trying to say fascism would “pass”, that was a poor choice of words. Let’s reword it to “when Trumpism is dead”.

            Not at all, don’t be it’s alright. Much strength to you as well in facing these dark times.

            I walked around lake Dziani once, it’s covered in pale green algae such that the surface looks solid. It is a strange sight. There’s a few folk tales about it too (ghosts, spirits… I don’t remember the specifics)
