Oh, the guillotines are coming, for sure.

I very much doubt that.

Americans are armed to the teeth, they've always pretended the staggering number of gun deaths in the US was a necessary evil to keep the government in check, yet now that they're in the very situation for which they claimed they needed the guns, they ain't using em.

Nothing is coming because there's nothing to be expected of a nation of dumb racist hicks and pretend tough guys.

You're confused. The people you're talking about, the ones armed to the teeth and justifying gun deaths, are the same ones who voted for Trump and love what he's doing. They're giddy with joy about it. Why would they use their guns against the very government they wanted and voted for?

Wow, every country is going through a right wing attack of racist and greedy POS.

  • UK- brexit
  • Gernany - elections
  • Canada - elections
  • and so on

It doesn't make me angry that you believe the entire country is like that, because obviously it's kind of true. But please take care of your own trash as well.

This is irrelevant whataboutism.

Also, what makes you think I live in any of those countries?

What country do you live in?

No shit, and expect all of the other countries to also get their Trumps. It's not what I want but it lookes more and more real each day

And yes, I don't live in US and I live in a country where right wing is not in full power yet, but getting more popular as of late
