This changes nothing. Spend that political capital lefties. Lord knows the people in washington refuse to. You couldnt force me at gun point to support the GOP.

    This is populist violence and outrage that would be better directed in an organised bus-to-washington program that would only attract the politically committed (and ideally more disciplined).

    They could be briefed on the bus.

      Yeah, the protestors shouldn’t be physically stopping the shutzstaffel from taking people to the camps. They should all get on busses for a two week round trip to inform the president that he violated the constitution when he sent in the marines and they would like him to stop now please if its not too much trouble.

      When will these fuvking politically incompetent lefties ever learn?

        This is the same playbook they use. Russia do it, Germany do it, France do it, Canada do it, Israel do it.

        We saw congress representatives ignoring people questions, and sometime not even showing up for meetings.

        The whole idea is to represent people, but they ignore your voice.

        They take your right, they ignore your peaceful protest, and then criminalize your peaceful protest, then arrest you.

        When you try to resist symbolically “Thrown rock at a tank” they escalate the response and claim you are violent.

        Then they tell you “should protest peacefully” so they can again ignore you and retaliate silently.

        The US history is full with peaceful protest, useful protest did nothing and never done any thing useful.

        When the protest start taking rich people income that when we see a quick change.

          to represent people

          Yes, and in fact we’re making little 3d printed commemorative statues of everyone who gets on the busses; one of each for each of us, plus one for the president! So he knows we mean business!

          but they ignore your voice

          Thats why the little statues and the silent protest. We’ve booked a closet across (the street) from the oval office to make our silence more poigniant, while standing with our lgbt brothers and sisters (but not other siblings. We don’t want to make a bad impression!) This pride month.

          they take your right

          Lets see them try to take our right to remain silent then! I bet they cant! It’s in the constitution!

          throw a rock at a tank

          No please. That’s violent and scary and what a fascist would do i bet

          history is

          Fucking nerd

          i will literally send mecha-robespierre to murder you

          Reported for violence!

      Could also all be arrested or assaulted on the bus by the gestapo or their KKK supporters
