The MAGAts have to be killed. It’s that simple. That means the politicians and the media talking heads and your dumbass drunk uncle who ruins Thanksgiving and your parents who never get off the couch.
There’s shitloads of people standing around waving signs all day in huge mass gatherings but none flooding the halls and studios of their local Fox affiliate or Sinclair station or Salem Media Group broadcaster.
They’re cheerleading chants and platitudes that will all be forgotten in a week because no e of them are armed up.
The “you first!” defense just says you know that revolutions are gross and icky and you want someone else to do it instead of joining as A GROUP and doing what has to be done. Lone wolves are doomed to failure so the Status Quo appreciates your solidarity with them.
People in this country have forgotten how to protest effectively. They have allowed themselves to be defanged and relegated to the sidelines where their actions will be inconsequential to the establishment they are protesting against.
Too concerned with “optics”, legalities, and trying to naively appease the opposition by asking nicely with a sternly worded letter.
Effective is the right word, doesn’t have to be violent like the other new account is trying to stir up.
Now that a crowd of people are tuned in more-or-less to the issues: If I were to lead these things (I don’t), I think the next stage would be to organize non-violent, less-destructive civil disobedience. It is already happening, for example like mass reporting the presence of ICE (which is legal btw).
Violence can be considered depending on the circumstance, but many who are voicing the need violent resistance aren’t really showing a coherent plan for what happens after. Sure, where guns show up first, the local police may stand down. But then the big guns are going to come out, and civilian blood in the streets will not get more than a passing look in the goal of clamping down on political enemies.
Democratic forces have the upper hand in the narrative. Why tarnish it? Encourage people instead to use it! Violence vs. Feeble Non-violence being the only two options, is accepting the framing of your oppressors!

Alright you can start killing them instead of being a keyboard warrior
Oh wow the “you first!” defense; totally never heard that one before
It’s not a defense it’s a call out. Put up or shut up.
