Because as we see, all those good guys with guns are scaring ICE away.

Yeah whatever Shitler, you have a trade surplus with us you morons. Go to town carbuncle.

I was interested but based on this I’ll think I’ll give it a pass.

I want less AI in my life, not more

My father had this tea cup he never washed out. He would leave floaters in it and go out to camp for a week.

One week while he was gone I washed this thing. I swear to god it had mould floaters in it. Fuck he hit the roof when he came home and saw it washed.

Or clean out a broken in tea cup

Had a yarn to the household today, it’s Linux time.

22 now including mine.

I dunno, I’m pretty fat so whichever way I lie there’s depth.

This is it.

Civil shutdown which forces those in government who might do what’s needed to do it.

It requires hardship though.

As it is for you.

Real men ay? Be careful of accusing others when you present no evidence you are anything more.

The ways to stop this go from easy to hard. Funny that.

The easiest is voting. It has the least risk, is the easiest to do. Done properly and regularly, it’s also the most effective, not just preventing shit like this happening but putting people you actually want in power. This is easier than the protest fix.

Bear in mind Americans are too lazy to do this in any numbers. They think even this is too difficult.

The next is peaceful protest, running from organised marches which are less effective but galvanise the public, to complete shutdown of trading, going to work, whatever can be done. This takes more effort than voting and in the case of real shutdown or mass protests, requires hardship. In this case this would be done to force those in power who might, to use the institutional rules that stand to remove this president and administration.

This is where the US is now and what it should do to fix this. This requires hardship, like losing jobs they don’t want, healthcare insurance which covers fuckall anyway and the threat of eviction.

This is still better than being shot in the face, which leads us to the next and last step of doing something about it; civil war. Despite some claiming the US is there, it isn’t quite yet. People are being murdered but there are not yet states fighting each other.

You might think you want this but you don’t, really.

When are US citizens going to take the easier paths to fix these things? Right now it’s peaceful shutdown. Fuckin oath they’ll lose jobs, healthcare and homes but perhaps if they thought about these things every time elections came up and how important voting is, the US wouldn’t be here.

Disengage. Don’t go to work, don’t buy any shit you don’t need, don’t pay your bills, don’t pay tax. Don’t bitch about the hardships of this either; you didn’t take the easy way out so now it’s the hard.

They either did or didn’t care enough not to vote. Not just this election either.

Tampering is a shitload harder to do when the turnout is something like 80 or 90 percent.

No excuses here.

our lives are going bad enough

You had control of that. Others don’t have and they don’t have control of your military turning on them.

No, I don’t get off on US misfortune, but I’m tired of fuckall being done by voters year by year then pissing and moaning when people are threatened and killed.

maladjusted sociopaths

This is how the rest of the world has seen the US for some time.

Edifying to finally see what they’ve been seeing isn’t it?

Wow they denied it and didn’t outright say ‘your mom’ or some shit you’d expect from the best the US has to offer.

I’m not American and no. Thanks for the reminder on that.

That in fact makes it worse because it makes voting even easier.

In fact it’s food for microbes.

9. ‘I’m sorry , I personally didn’t vote for this’

Yeah nah sorry for my part too. I can do better.

It’s great when people put effort into their replies and show they care about their country and politics. Thanks.
