Trump escalates means citizens escalate. This isn't a game the government can win. | ||

And we found out the reason why they starting blasting all the peaceful protestors around the white house with gas and flash bangs to clear. It's so Trump could counter the 'bunker' memes by being brave and walking to the church across the street. Huge bravery gassing all those people. | ||

This is no longer a good faith argument. This doesn't address my post. My post is about aiming for goal A. Your response is about B. and the above. Your only contribution is being angry, and telling other people to be angry. Anger is an ingredient, it isn't the end goal. | ||

It takes a big powerful man to assault peaceful Americans with chemicals and force using hired guards in military-grade armor. You don't understand. America would look weak to other nations if we didn't assault and kill our own for no legitimate cause. | ||

America would look weak to other nations if we didn't assault and kill our own for no legitimate cause. That’s actually the reason why Trump respects China for Tiananmen Square. It was a show of power and strength from the Chinese government as opposed to the weak US who gives into the pressures of the protestors. If he could run over protestors without much retaliatory action, he would 100% do it. If you want to read his thoughts on it, it’s from some Playboy (of course it is) interview from the 90s. | ||

Until they stay out past the curfew that set to go into effect in 10min in some areas. Then that force will be used on them as well. | ||

Force above and beyond firing cans of teargas directly at demonstrators, shoving them to the ground, and running cars into them, you mean. Can't wait to see what's next. I'm also positive our resident fans of the 2nd amendment will support the peaceful protesters in their endeavors if the government suddenly comes down on them with full military might. This is precisely such a situation where its invocation makes real sense. | ||
