    what? no it doesn’t. not even a remote hint of that come on be realistic. the liberals are barely squirming over the illegal deportations. Folks are whining about eggs more than anything else.

      Yeah, most Americans are too cowardly, or dumb (or both), to do anything meaningful. They prefer to sit by and watch their country get demolished, because trying to stop it would take effort.

        I mean, yes, that’s certainly part of it, but the other parts are that we (Americans) live among extremely well-financed and equipped (courtesy of military surplus) police forces who are obvious in their zeal to terrorize and extort citizens, while also being insulated by legal buffers like “Qualified Immunity.”

        In most cities, the police take up 40-50% or more of the budget, and produce essentially zero benefits, but will always be enshrined because they protect the status quo and the top wealth layer’s property, and are willing to use force to ensure the most vulnerable are kept fearful and destabilized.
