Typical lib living in denial. I accepted the fact that America voted for a treasonous POS like Obama for 2 terms back to back. There were no fricking riots. How is that for real?
You lose either way on this. When Trump loses and y’all don’t riot, you are the emasculated keyboard warriors everyone thinks you are. If you do, you’ve become the thing you condemn. Y’all have talked yourself into a corner on this
I'm not going to get into personal attacks against you Holden so I'm going to leave alot of the other stuff being said in this thread aside, but I want to talk about this nugget.
Again, I'm hoping for rational discourse and not hurling insults and questioning each other or those like minded.
BUT, and I've asked this question before because I really do not know. But other than staying behind a keyboard and posting on forums and maybe Op-Ed pages of newspapers that is very unlikely to be printed, What else are people to do?
People always talk about the upcoming civil war and taking up their guns and forcing action from the tyranny they perceive, but that's only going to result in their death at the hands of police or at least an arrest and felony charge. It's not realistic to think that a small group of people getting fed up with Biden, Pelosi, AOC, etc will gather in a small militia and start a revolution out of bumfrick Louisiana, Alabama, GA or where ever.
I guess my question can be summed up by saying that to do anything other than be a 'keyboard warrior' is only going to end badly for the individual. Am I wrong on this?
I'm not advocating for anything, I just always think this when people talk about the revolution is coming and saying things like "there will be blood." In their minds, how do they see that actually playing out?
I'm a Trump supporter but I don't plan on grabbing a gun and marching to City Hall if I question the results of the election. What options are legitimately available other than being a 'keyboard warrior?'
I don't know, I just kinda see it as a hopeless and fruitless talk when others suggest that some big 'event' is on the horizon. Maybe I'm just a pessimistic vagina and others aren't so I just don't see the impending revolt that is destined that others keep suggesting is on the way.

Thoughtful question. If I were passionately MAGA and honestly believed the election was stolen, what would I do?
I wouldn’t take up arms for the reasons you cite. And I don’t see myself getting out and marching in the streets.
I think it will be some form of resistance led by state legislatures. You are going to see a flurry of new laws pushing states rights and seeking to limit federal authority. That’s probably the smart play given that Trump appointees abound in the federal judiciary, so the inevitable litigation that resolves the federal-state conflicts is tilted toward the states. I think that’s the smart play.
