The regime silently removed parts of the US Constitution like the writ of habaes corpus from the official website (infosec.pub)

My concern is that if we were to exercise our 2nd amendment rights to eliminate this totalitarian regime and then install a proper democratically-elected progressive administration, what’s to stop the Fox News types from riling up the MAGA masses into “taking back” the government and eliminating our new regime? Violence begets violence. There has to be a better way.

    This isn't an argument you can win. People have spent too much time watching romanticized war movies and documentaries and don't understand what the personal cost of this would be. It sounds nice and all "rah rah rah let's get them" but this would to MILLIONS dying and elites still maintaining control in the end.

    Yeah, I have run into a lot of keyboard warriors telling people to commit acts of violence to stop the regime, all while not doing anything of the sort. I doubt many, if any, of these people have ever been in a fight, let alone killed someone.

    Ah yes, the fighting a local force, in very difficult terrain, you do not have experience, with is a directly comparable situation to the local force, who know every inch of land they are on, and spend most of their time training in, without having to move half way across the planet first, argument.

    I genuinely think that many of these people think that they can hole up in their rural cabin with a bunch of guns and just wait it out while everyone else does the fighting and dying.

    Oh definitely. I know some people who are actually planning on this. There is a fucking graded road to their cabin, and it is only about an hour outside of a major city... like, they might leave you alone because you are out of the way, and inconsequential, but the moment they want that land, road, or you do something they don't like, it will only take one drone to wipe your family off the face of the earth.
