Republican “Patriots” Terrorize America with Calls for Armed Insurrection

40. It really is a travesty...

I agree that it is a shame that the Human race has not lived up to its potential. We have come so far, technologically speaking, yet in social terms we still live in a slightly modified feudal system. The only difference is that we traded barons and kings for CEO s and billionaires.
However, the ACA is still far from brilliant; I voted for single-payer universal healthcare and I refuse to jump up-and-down joyfully for this ( essentially ) right-wing compromise. It is , of course, better than nothing.
As far as a Republican Uprising goes, I will say that there are Dems ( like myself ) who keep and are willing to bear arms.
However, logistically speaking, an armed insurrection against an actively defensive US government would be short lived and the political fallout would be disastrous for the right. Such an obvious threat to America would bring voters to the Box in droves to throw out conservatives.
I admire your passion, but this is just another Right-wing PsyOp; Stir up fear amongst the base, and get them out and vocal before the election. That will cause liberals to white-wash every Religious person as an ignorant red-neck. This , in turn, pisses religious people off. They show up in november ,en mass , and vote against Liberals.
And so on...
There are many ignorant people around. Most are just too busy living their lives to give a thought to socio-political issues. Many ( falsely ) believe that things just are the way they are and will never change. That Idea is foreign to them." That stuff only happens overseas ".
Anyways, this is all just a side show to divert attention away from the republican fight for the supremacy of the 1 %.

Also, I have to admit that I thought (at first ) that you were advocating that We arm ourselves for the upcoming "War". Then I decided that you were just posting in anger after reading some awful right-wing propaganda.

I also agree that,while I like humor as much as anyone, the Republican party's efforts are no laughing matter. We are on the verge of losing our democracy. But it is the Right that is facilitating this process. America has made the same mistake that many nations have made: We have failed to control the Wealthy. The main way to do this ( of course ) is through taxation. Taxation not only funds the government, it ( should ) keep the rich from becoming too powerful. This simple idea has worked perfectly for a few thousand years.

But you are right; the things that the Right are doing now is no laughing matter. We should save the laughter for after the election.
