Pretty sure I’ve seen articles going back years about conservative business owners doing stunts like banning liberals or charging liberals more.This will certainly help heal the nation of political divisiveness. I'm certain republican businesses won't retaliate down the road and claim, "Well you guys did it first!"
The political landscape is changing and infecting the rest of society at an alarming pace.
I'm sorry to have implied with my statement that this is the first time in history this has happened. They might claim "well you guys did it first" to justify their revenge, but clearly they'd be wrong. It's no doubt been happening throughout the world to every party - even in small towns you'll have a business owner refuse to serve the mayor if the owner didn't get his way.
You're an overemotional child who doesn't know what tyranny actually looks like.
Lol foh
Illustrates the point nicely, actually.
But it does have to be despotism.
Your point is wrong, your ideas laughable, and your mental state questionable.
The pardon question has already been answered. He is not above the law, but it is impeachment that addresses that.
Jus FYI, clinging to your preferred narrative even in the face of overwhelming objective evidence to the contrary is what got us into our current situation in the first place.
Number of flawed, oversimplified arguments like the above made: considerably more than even that.
Come on now, the CSA tried their best.
Good point. They played the long game, but it looks like they got it.
Oh, I'm not saying things are *fine*, I'm just saying they're not "armed resistance in the streets" bad, and that citing that there ISN'T armed resistance in the streets right now as proof that the 2nd amendment is an empty excuse to fetishize guns is, at best, a very flawed argument.
We have concentration camps. The courts allowed racial vote-suppression. They allowed discrimination based on religion.
None of which is unprecedented in America, and all managed to get resolved WITHOUT armed resistance.
I gotta say, comparing the current immigration bullshit to the Holocaust is both stupid and a little offensive. You simultaneously make yourself seem ridiculous for overreacting while cheapening the experiences of victims of actual ethnic genocide or violence.
They didn't start with the death camps.
The very definition of the "slippery slope" fallacy.
Which is reason to vote republicans out of office, not start a violent revolt. It's really ironic that you claim to be peace loving and against violence, and yet you're the one who regularly advocates murder on the forums.
I don't know if i'd count having your cows graze on someone else's property as standing up to government tyranny.
Yes, lets do it the classic way, with riots and walk-ins, and then some guy getting off scot free after assassinating a Civil Liberties leader...
It becomes a much more important distinction when the "someone else" is the government, and when the rights to graze there are disputed.
Really, because, from that link stieman posted in the school shooting thread, it seems more like 2:1 of "they" (as in, gun owners) are actually supporting what's happening.
By disputed you mean he argue the government can't own "lots of land", and always lost n court?
That's assuming that everyone registered Republican sides with the government, and registered Democrats actually take up arms. There are at least some Republicans who have urged people to vote democrat, so I assume at least some will take up arms against anyone who seeks to stop this country from becoming a dictatorship. How many? Hard to say, but it won't be all; though it likely will be too few.
Fun fact: if there is actually enough of them, you won't end up with a civil war in the first place...
Then viva la resistance.
