My problem is never with voting, but it’s with people who tell everyone to use every tool and refuse to use political violence. Why is it ok to refuse to use 1 tool, but not the other?
Devil’s advocate-- Trump is provoking the public so he could invoke the Insurrection Act and legitimise the use of violence to purge any opposition.
There has already been numerous instances of violations of constitution and civil rights, but where does the public draw the line? I don’t know, but I think the test will be the midterms on whether or not Trump will rig it. Or, if not the midterms, wait in two years if he doesn’t want to step down.
You can use the logic of “they’re just waiting for us to get violent so they can oppress us harder” all the way to the camps.
Not saying you’re necessarily wrong about the insurrection act but if he was really trying to do it he would whether someone really did it or not. I mean he’s already been shot at. Hes got the false grounds to go for it.
Unfortunately you’re batting for the other side. All they want to do is throw out any reason they can to keep the status quo of non violence so they can continue to steamroll forward. Because the secret is that they’re fragile. It’s not a majority of the population that’s doing this, it’s a very small minority with a slightly larger minority supporting it and a vast majority saying “well don’t get too rowdy yet, that’s what they want.”
