It wasn’t a joke from me. Democracy dies when the good man does nothing. I am a good man and I will fight for this democracy, as fucked up as it is. The right believes the left to be weak pacifists because we choose compromise, tolerance, and acceptance over bigotry, hate, and subjugation. They will need to learn the hard way that we choose that because we know that mutually beneficial social contracts make living better and provide a safe, prosperous world. They obviously do not want to be party to these social contracts with me, so I will not allow them any of the safety or benefits.
What does Iraq and Afghanistan have to do with America and taking arms up against our government? You really think a bunch of hillbillies with guns are going to do shit against our military?
He does, but why would the president tell the army to do nothing when the people are rising up against said president? Nobody is that stupid, any rise up against the government will end with the military curb stomping it in about 15 minutes.
Domestic wars are never pretty, no matter how powerful the military. Most people in the military don’t serve to shoot their own country. Countries don’t want to damage their own infrastructure or enflame their own people. Oligarchs won’t support a war that damages their bottom line. People vastly over simply how easy it would be to stop an armed resistance.
Most of those where cops only larping as military. Military operations are a completely different thing. No country wants to fight their own people. Your own logistics, intelligence, supply chains, and financing all rely, in part, on the very people you are fighting… You can’t trust or count on the chain of command at any point, at any point your keys to power can turn on you and you’re dead. Leaders with half a brain know you usually don’t have a long life attacking your own people.
200 years ago though, now you’ll get shit stomped by the military. The 2a thing is honestly a joke.

Eh, Iraq and Afghanistan went rather poorly for the United States.
What does that have to do with the second amendment?
Second amendment grants the right to bear arms, arms were used by the insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I’m pretty sure the Taliban could also be described as a “hillbillies with guns” when they started out. And you know what, they won.
Lol. Are you really comparing their government and military to ours, here in the USA? You sound delusional, you a tRump voter or just a troll?
In your comment, who is they?
But the president has the power to tell the army “Don’t do shit” in complete impunity.

We’re talking about people rising against the Republican side of the government
