There won't be any meaningful amount of violence. People in the US are total bitches when it comes to actually fighting the system. At worst, there will be a riot, where the most predominant activity is looting, and then the National Guard will be called in and everyone will roll over like they always do.

    To be fair it's kind of hard to not roll over to the National Guard

    I think we could deal with the National Guard if people were motivated enough. Even I'm surprised with the shit some people get their hands on here. There's plenty of people that treat the Second Amendment like a religion, and plenty of others that love blowing shit up for fun.

    Totally not true lol. Jan 6th, LA riots of the 90s, the various riots during the height of BLM movements, Seattle, Unite the Right rally both sides.

    People are upset, they cause damage and even sometimes try to assassinate people. The US probably faces more domestic terrorism than most places.

    We have a very strong police state

    The People didn't cause damage in Portland as much as the fucking pigs lit fires and defaced buildings to then blame the protestors for it, FYI. Caught on video from multiple angles and everything, yet still nothing in the way of consequences. "Police state", you say? It's fascism in a candy wrapper.

    Fascism is a police state, a police state is fascism.

    People are not "constantly in the streets fighting", you nonce.

    There is also more to "fascism" than simply "police state".

    Are you purposefully stupid, or just lazy? Smart money's on you thinking your username was spelled with an "e" when it's correctly spelled with an "a".

    you're being dumb yes they are we can literally sit here all day and go through different ways people have attempted to resist the government from Waco and MOVE to the many many many many many domestic terrorist attacks. We can talk about civil rights movements from MLK to Black Panthers to BLM. Occupy Wall Street, Unite the Right Rally(counter protestors), numerous school demonstrations from Kent State to walk outs to what's happening today for Palestine.

    They're always fighting.
