They'll sit down and stay, because they'll just get shot if they step up. Oh sure, you have a few brave souls protesting, but those are nowhere near as many as there should. Especially since if they do get shot, the perps walk away with at most, a stern talking-to.
American lives are worthless to the Trump regime. They couldn't care less of their thugs blow more Americans' brains out.
Yeah, don't write the joe average off just yet. I know history doesn't exactly repeat, but it does have precedents that tend to repeat.
The Gendarmes of the Sun Court were all pretty fucking cocky and openly hostile, up until the point fish wives picked up their work tools, hacked them to pieces and stormed the Bastille. At some stage people at large just snap, and there is no putting the shit back in the donkey once they do.
I know people keep comparing this current situation to Nazi Germany, but I honestly think the lead up to the French Revolution is probably closer to what has been happening here. The system is corrupt, there is an American Aristocracy, they've held the average American in barely concealed contempt for as long as I've lived. And that issue has been growing.
The 2008 Wall Street Collapse, the bankers who committed the fraud get bailed out and get to keep the million dollar bonuses. Average Americans not only get to stay in debt, but the taxes you guys paid (in order to pay for services for the tax payer) gets used to bail out the people who fucked over the average American, they took your money twice. The Israel issue, Israelis get free education, weapons, services all paid for by Joe Average American, they then use the tax dollars you've paid them to pay for lobbyists to corrupt your politicians to cut more services to you, and give more to Israel. They then commit a genocide on your dime and openly mock you to your face, then use media and law to shut down any complaint about the situation. The Epstein situation, have the people been listened to? Or instead are the American elite just going to ignore even congress and not let it get out the crimes (both sexual and financial) that many public figures (both Democrat and Republican) actively took part in?
How this shit plays out? I don't know. But all Trump has done is bring that festering boil of WASPish contempt for everyone else to a festering head. They're no longer hiding who or what they are. And the American way, the constitution, your bill of rights, they are actively try to throw that shit away because I think on some level they understand how close to the chopping block things are for them right now, they're trying to remove legal mechanisms for accountability because that is what they fear. But if people want accountabilty there is jack shit anyone in power can do about it, it'll happen the easy way or the hard way but the answer will be yes.
Again, this isn't a right vs left issue, it isn't a North vs South issue; this isn't even preaching socialism (because these cunts love to play that card when people start getting uppity); this is the rich and powerful not wanting accountability, mobilizing an army of bootlickers in an attempt to forcefully stamp out a dissent they know will fucking eat them alive if unleashed.
As I said earlier, there are always precedents. The French Aristocracy learned this the hard way, and also very relevant to the United States the British learned this the hard way with the colonies. It always happens in conditions like this, especially with a population that has more guns than the military.
