      Cool, take care of my father with Alzheimer’s and I will get right to that.

      Good luck with his medical bills, I promise you, they are a struggle.

        Exactly. You’ll always have an excuse to do nothing. Immediately going for the emotional excuse too! You expect change with no sacrifice just like every other person in this country. We watch day by day as Hitler Jr and his pals take away freedoms, rights, safety etc but your dad is what’s keeping you from fighting back… Yeah OK.

          Uh, he needs 24/7 care, most of which I provide at present (I have to, ya know, work fulltime for food, utility bills and health insurance for medications).

          Despite your anger, I hope you do not end up in a situation like this. Enjoy, “freedom” while you can, it disappears in a variety of circumstances.

            Oh fuck you acting like your situation is unique. No one is free in the US. You people prove day in and day out that you have no critical thinking skills and no fucking backbone. Good luck with you dad. Maybe when you have nothing left to lose you’ll wake up.

          It’s easy to criticize. What are you doing to stop it? You should do more of that instead of wasting time being an asshole to people on the internet.

          Upvoting all I can here. Like, they’re going to come for all your benefits, money, property eventually. Sticking your head in the sand is only gonna make it easier to kick your ass.

            The downvotes are from people who know I’m right, but it makes them feel bad to think about.

              No, all your suggestions will just accomplish nothing except get people who follow them into huge problem with zero gains.

              Not paying taxes, being violent, how is that a plan? Thats why the downvotes I think. You are just being angry and wanting change, but you also dont have a plan that will do anything. Just like everyone.

        If our supposed NATO allies would actually you know help us out, that would be fucking fantastic.

        “Everyone else needs to put their asses on the line! Not me!”

        No one’s coming to save you. Maybe ask the fascists to play nicer, I guess? It’s worked pretty well so far.

      The issue is mainly coordination. One person acting is going to accomplish nothing while guaranteeing that this one person loses everything. Everyone needs to act at the same time. We need a leader to start a movement that everyone can get behind.
