Wait isn’t that why your citizens are armed? To stop this exact thing…?
No, we’re armed to stop an invading army. We put that in the bill of rights while keeping one eye on France and the other on Britain. All of our laws and traditions regarding the government were written assuming that the people would only vote for someone who wanted to do a good job being president.
It turns out that when you design a country to favor rich men, then let those rich men amass unfathomable generational wealth and teach the populace that money and power=trustworthiness, you end up with a fetid cesspool. As you pointed out, the people certainly aren’t powerless in this situation, just too uninformed, misinformed, and afraid to do anything about it. You’re talking about a country where people say that corporations are evil but somehow empowering the people with unions is worse. We say that billionaires are manipulating the country and destroying politics, and then vote for a (alleged) billionaires. The leopards aren’t just eating our faces, we’re even making up excuses for the leopards between bloodcurdling screams and say that this is the only way to hurt other people, as if siccing leopards on your peers is actually a reasonable course of action.

Original intent yeah, but everyone’s armed for other various reasons, immigrants, blacks, women, trans, etc.
Your citizens are armed, and they could act as an army, unfortunately it’s disjointed and the are armed for the wrong reasons. They could absolutely stop the coup, unfortunately the ones with the guns would be doing the coup…… as the ones that need the guns don’t have or can’t get them. They’re available to all the wrong people.
It feels kinda like an old vaudevillian joke… If a Russian battalion were to arrive at your doorstep and demand that you house them and that your compliance would be looked at favorably when Russia takes over—not only would you be constitutionally protected if you chose to shoot them, you’d likely be lauded as a hero.
But when a Russian asset takes over and compromises our country, well, good luck finding the legal loophole to justify shooting a president.
And here, laws mean everything. It’s why immigrants are illegal, shoplifting is bad, landlords are good, and more money=more free speech. Then again, a coup is supposed to be illegal, so once again, I direct you to my previous response: “we’re aggressively dumb.”
Man, I dont know what happened to you but you need to work on your insecurities. Youre the one who started insulting out of nowhere and they handled it very respectfully, you should be thankful
Dude called me condescending for only pointing out they missed the entire joke, that’s an insult, which they started. And they were totally incorrect about it being my meme. So they couldn’t even get their facts straight before insulting me, so yeah why should I have any respect for an idiot like that?
He wanted to bitch and got called out and started their first response with an insult since they had no intentions of having an actually discussion. They just wanted to bitch and be heard.
But sure say someone has insecurities because they’re defending themselves against a troll, what does that make you…?
Oh no, another asshole thinks I’m an asshole, what ever am I going to do.
It’s always funny when an asshole tries to call someone else out, do you even have any upvoted comments in your history? All you do is bitch about others and get downvoted.
You’re the troll here, and so is the other user getting pissy because they got caught bitching about the wrong thing.
And again, dude has thought it was my meme, I corrected them twice politely and they refused to acknowledge the point, how the fuck is that being “respectful” you fucking muppet.
I’m not justifying shitty behavior, I give people the same behavior back, dude said I was condescending and talked about “my meme”, if the moron can’t tell who posted the meme and needs to be told multiple times, do you seriously think that’s someone who’s capable of having a good faith discussion…?
Funny how me calling you out immediately makes me an asshole in your eyes^^ really show how down to earth you are.
Putting words in my mouth? Where did I say that in my first response to you.
Also how fckin delusional do u have to be to shit on my comment history while 90% of your comments have negative votes. Wtf xD
They don’t? Why lie. I went a week through your comments and I think there were maybe 5 comments at the time that had positive, in this thread alone I have more than that, and only the 2 comments that are heavily downvoted.
This shit is public dude, anyone who goes through my history will see that you’re just making shit up yourself now too, like the person who continually thought I posted this meme….
But I’m just gonna block you and end this bullshit since you’re just a troll. Bye!
Wait isn’t that why your citizens are armed? To stop this exact thing…?
Dude go bitch somewhere else lmfao. And again, not my meme you muppet.

Again with the condescension. You must have made a lot of friends with that winning personality.
Have a good day.
You are the one making the asinine claim that the citizens don’t have the power dude…
It’s funny how you’re insulting me and call out my personality you muppet lmfao.
And for the last fucking time, it’s not my fucking meme dude lmfao, seriously.
Man, I dont know what happened to you but you need to work on your insecurities. Youre the one who started insulting out of nowhere and they handled it very respectfully, you should be thankful

You were being a dick and the sooner you realize it the sooner you can work on that. Obviously youre the one who cant handle being called out.
PS: justifying your shitty behaviour by pretending the other is a troll is seriously sad.
Oh no, another asshole thinks I’m an asshole, what ever am I going to do.
