Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You are emphasizing the aggressive portion of it, but I think Americans still need work on the collectively. "Get armed or get out" isn't going to get you far in building a movement. For example, if Alex Pretti was alone and not recorded by a mass of other non-violent protestors at the time of his gang murder by ICE, the propaganda that Pretti was looking to shoot them first would stick a lot longer. Gun for gun, ICE's budget for weapons per agent is a lot larger than even the most kitted out Black Panther. It's already stupid the amount of weapons they have stockpiled against peaceful protest. If violence becomes the only way to win as you believe, ICE will put out a purchase order for a few LRADs or other "less-lethal" technologies that will make it hard for organized armed resistance to hold a gun straight. And further, at the first sign the administration can muster up a flimsy excuse to do a "MOVE bombing", they certainly will.
Elections are state level, and while the fascists and gestapos are trying over and over to take it over from the states, so far it's not working out. The MN boycott and national day of action happened last month and I don't think they are saying "mission accomplished, we don't need to do anything else" in response to 2000 of 3000 federal thugs sticking around. Various other groups are also organizing, like the supporters of Haitian refugees in Ohio, who will use these moments to organize and over the next few months become part of a national resistance network. Then there will be more options for aggressive and non-aggressive tactics.
