          Is he wrong though? We let this happen. It’s our problem. Our founding fathers had a spine. Our generation is weak. No I’m not excusing myself.

            I’m sorry that it’s not easy for me to stare down losing my life and maybe worse. Sorry for being here and looking for other support l. Sorry

              Hey, I’m not downvoting you or blaming you anymore than myself. I don’t have the answers on what exactly should be done. But history has shown us time and time again that people are unfortunately probably going to have to die before anything gets better. It’s just the way it works. Monsters don’t just give up their power.

          They’re right. What are you waiting for? Some opportunity where it will be easy and you somehow won’t be at risk?

            It’s so easy to be an armchair revolutionist, much harder to stare down losing everything.

      When the rest of us pacifist lefties, and i am also including you the person I’m replying to, buys a gun. So far, the Republicans overwhelmingly own more guns and train more often and would wipe us all out from the comfort of their diabetic mobility scooters.

      They have been, you just aren’t hearing about it because they don’t want you to hear about it. People are fucking pissed.

        Yeah I know people are pissed. So I guess I’m watching for when we mount a resistance. I would be a shot leader for it, and I must admit, I’m afraid, I’m afraid of what it will mean, but still somewhat ready to join.
