27. You're right.

I wouldn't advocate for your removal from this forum at all. You're absolutely right.
This didn't just start with Trump's recent election. It's been planned since 2020 when the ahole lost.
Its not an accident that Musk purchased Twitter, he was in on it from the start with Trump. None of this is spontaneous.

I'm sorry to say our "leaders" won't do enough fast enough to stop this. This is going to lead to Civil War. After Trump and his goons get done with this first phase they will start coming after sites like this to shut down our ability to communicate because our ability to communicate threatens their survival. They'll buy us out, use pressure on ISP's to shut us down, use the power of corrupted government agencies to threaten the good people who run sites like this....whatever they think they can do or get away to stifle the ability of the public to protest and communicate they will do.

It's coming people. No way around it we're going to have to fight.

It's obvious most of our Democrat leaders haven't figured this out yet. Most of them are still in the "Roberts Rules Of Order" mode of thinking that their positions in Congress have any power. They still think getting up and making flowery speeches will accomplish something. It won't. This government and country will have to be taken back by force. All the prepetraitors (misspelled on purpose) will have to be dragged from positions of power and imprisoned for life. Some will deserve the death penalty. Their companies will have to be broken up and sold with the proceeds going to pay back citizens and the US Government for the damages these people are causing. Lists of names of those who collaborated and facilitated in this coup will have to be gathered and they will need to also be imprisoned. Any and all Judges, Congress people, their aides etc who assisted in this will have to be removed from office and imprisoned for their cooperation with this coup. Basically purge all these traitors from our society and put them where they belong....prison.

You may think I'm overly dramatic here or too extreme. Sorry, wake up, we're in the middle of a coup. We're losing our country and rights to people who want to remake them in the Putin and Orban image of the countries they currently rule. Dictatorships. I, for one, wasn't born in a dictatorship and don't want to die in one.

Most of you probably don't remember this but in July last Summer after the attempt on Trump's life some of you were whining about how we Democrats and Progressives should be condemning that failed attempt. After all, we're better than that. They may go low but we always go high blah blah blah.

I posted in response something along the lines of "By this time next year some of you may wish he had better aim".

Its been less than the year I predicted.

Now that our country is being destroyed by this POS...how ya all feeling about that guys ability to aim now?

DON'T FORGET AND DON'T FORGIVE.
