I thought it was a joke. It was not. How can people let that shit fly, when their constitution says that they can “legally “ do something about it, is astounding. For a country that has the highest amount of armed citizens, its very surprising.
They use "protect us against tyranny" as an excuse for their gun fetish and masculinity issues. That's the purpose of the guns. They're not overpowering any tyrant.
These people accept the highest military spending in the world, what are a bunch of McDonald's addicted though guys with sunglasses and glocks going to do against a tank?
what do you want us to do? go out and start killing people because they're corrupt pieces of shit?
it would feel really good to take out the trash, but the repercussions of it would likely cause way more chaos long term.
there is a responsibility that comes with gun ownership.
Maybe start with a General Strike... or at the very least one of those No King parades but on a Monday
The Adjuster did
Wow, hold your horses… immediately going to the most brutal interpretation.
You implied that gun owners should do something about corrupt politicians. There’s only one thing that guns are used for. Hardly a surprising interpretation.
perfectly said, and exactly how I read it.
Lemmy does enjoy that. There's zero steps between doing nothing and tearing down society and starting again.
remind me what the constitution says, using the text of the constitution, the people are able to do about this shit.
I'm guessing they're talking about 2A and consider overthrowing the current regime to be securing a free state.
But you're right, the US constitution does not have any well defined method for the people to remove an elected official.
only legal method for the people to remove an elected federal official is wait for an election
Which is a major issue.
Oh totally. I wish we had a no confidence process.
