    I mean, people set the capitol on fire 6 years ago today and nothing happened but some temporary charges and subsequent pardons.

      Yeah and that “nothing happened” was because the fucking President organized it and pardoned everyone. Once again, the already powerful tend to prop up revolutions. None of the powerful here will benefit from us having a revolution unless it didnt actually change anything. No one is coming to end this. Americans better band together and figure out what they can do with some string and a pack of matches.

      It was on behalf of the President and his party, and it was never anywhere close to seriously threatening government power. A few individual politicians, maybe.

      I guess, what’s your point?
