    man, I’m really looking forward to the collateral damage on this one.

    surely this will be enough to stop him, right??

    /s

    this feckless impotent bag of vile rotten shit won’t stop unless forced to stop.

    I wonder how long the streets in the US will remain relatively safe before other countries like Canada and Mexico band together to stop him.

      Hey man, Canadian here. If you are an American, me and the rest of the world would actually love it if you and your patriotic brethren could band together with that plucky revolutionary spirit of yours and exercise your own Constitutional rights to take up the arms you own against the tyrannical government you allowed to come to power. It would be real cool if you could, Idk? Lay down your own lives for the ideals of life, liberty and the American dream BEFORE we have to lay down ours to save us from you, and you from yourselves. Just a thought.

        If you believe this drivel I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn. What you say is in the correct spirit, but your assumptions are way off.

            Sure, plucky revolutionary spirit? The American Revolution was lead by business leaders who wanted to control the colony. They used propaganda, assassination, bombings, etc. and turned colonists against each other.

            It was a country created out of a lie that went on to commit some of the worst atrocities known to man. George Washington, our first President, was on his way to becoming the world’s first billionaire adjusted for inflation. He would have gotten there if he didn’t die in his sixties

            The constitution, democracy, and liberalism are all part of a masterful propaganda campaign used to convince US citizens (and apparently foreigners) that there is something more to the US other than naked power (hint: there isn’t).

            This is not “our” tyrannical government, it is owned by the wealthy who have always called the shots and controlled all the policy. The people historically, even if they band together and demonstrate, have had almost no effect on the death machine that is the US.

            I assure you we have been laying down our lives. Just between gun deaths and overdoses we are losing 100,000 + preventable deaths every year. Apparently keeping minorities down and profits are far more important than our lives.

            It is not just us either US sanctions have cost the world about 500,000 people a year for the last 50 years. Let that sink in. We have caused the death of 25 million people just because we don’t like the policies of other countries.

            There is no saving the US. There is no saving the rest of the fascist world either. We could incrementally fix things and change for the better. There is always hope of course, but the reality is unless you are mega wealthy your voice will never be heard.

            I wish the rest of the world could take a hint, but the income inequality grows in every country and fascism dominates every facet of our lives.

        don’t know where you got your information but 2A Americunts are the reason why we’re in the mess we’re in.

        as for putting my life down for my country, couldn’t give a shit less. all I can protect is my family.

        if you’d looking to scratch that civil war itch though, might I recommend the 2024 movie, “Civil War”? although life isn’t a movie, this movie really drives home the absolute clusterfuck a civil war in America would be.

          You asked when Canadians and Mexicans would come and save you, and I don’t know where you get your info from, but we don’t have as many people or guns up here, and I’m aware that your typical 2A American is the reason you’re in the mess you’re in, but if I got my info from the right public school system, your Constitution isn’t just exclusive to Republicans and gun stores sell guns to Democrats too?

          Ha! Odds are pretty good the USA arms your country; we are the biggest arms dealer on Earth. Stop buying our weapons if you don’t like it.

          You feed the beast, in one way or another.

            They’re seemingly American, so yeah, seems pretty likely that Americans probably buy and sell guns to Americans. Up here in Canada we don’t even need to actually purchase them from you for them to make their way across the Lakes and end up here anyway, so yeah, it’s a little hard to just “stop buying them” when the sheer amount of guns you make nearly constitutes a public emergency in Canada.

              Firearm sales have TRIPLED since 2000, not even counting military equipment, which we make the most of, also.

              Every state of the USA is part of the arms industry, even Hawaii. We make bullets, missiles, bombs, and everything else, and ship it all around the world. If there’s a battle or war, we’re making money off of it.
