    Nah, we’re just in a weird echo chamber.

    So is MAGA. Most people, I think, do have strong opinions on things just thanks to social media brain rot but what they don’t have is an actual plan, organization, or the actual fire you need to fight a revolution.

    The Gravy Seals were just a typical example of how well your average revolutionary is really prepared.

      Does make me wonder how many people are trying to affect local change. That’s not going to get notice by anyone online, after all.

      Very few people here seem to understand how high the bar is to get a violent revolution going.

      Your average American upon believing that the revolution has started will shake their heads and maybe have casual conversations with their friends about that crazy revolution that got started while they drink beer at their local bar or bingo hall or whatever, and leave early cuz they gotta get up for work tomorrow.

      No revolution is happening without the government making some serious disruptions to those people’s way of life, and even then most of them will just blame immigrants like they’re told.

        I personally think it’s only a matter of time. Trump is terrible at the type of finesse needed to properly ‘boil the frog.’

          I hope so. Traditionally the fascist way is to pick off small groups so they don’t have to frog boil as much. Hoping they overstep their bounds and people get pissed and do something.

            Personally I think the frog is already well done, but Trump is the exact kind of stupid to crash the economy when given ultimate power, and even cooked frogs… Need to eat?

            Okay, the metaphor breaks down after a bit.
