I will get banned for this, perhaps: I seriously think we should be setting their houses on fire. Show them they are not welcome on this planet. Just fucking revolt against them.

I simply do not see another way. They have all the money in the world to change public opinion and manipulate everything to their gain. We have to not play the game, ignore everything and just get rid of them without going trough the "proper means". The proper means do not work.

Most people are not yet materially desperate enough to risk going to prison and ruining their lives.

That day may be coming, but we're not there yet.

I've been telling people who have been criticizing America for not getting violent, that we have two Constitutional checkpoints to go through before violence becomes the appropriate tool. The first was the Midterms, which we got through in spectacular fashion, far better than I even dreamed. We proved, far beyond ANY doubt, that Dem voters have serious POWER in this country, and they are now fully mobilized like never before. Most importantly, we didn't just prove that to MAGA, we proved it to Dem voters themselves. In the future, it will be far easier to mobilize them, now that they've done it, and was such a big success that everybody was rewarded with happiness.

Now we have to keep it together to get through the 2028 Presidential Election, where we can elect a Democratic president, and increase our majorities in Congress. Ted Cruz, for instance, is up for reelection in 2028. It will be fun to end his political career.

If MAGA decides to create a situation in which they feel they can eliminate the election, THEN it will be time for violence.

If we get through the election without a problem, he is almost certainly going to try to pull a Maduro, and just try to stay in office, no matter what the outcome of the election was. In that case, the violence will be directed only at the criminal who is holding the White House hostage.

Violence is a tool, to be used in the appropriate situation. If you needed a screwdriver, you wouldn't start pounding it with a hammer. The next project is the 2028 election. We just need to stay the course, and not let them knock us off our strategy. We managed to do that for the last two years, now let's do that for the next two years, and get our country back.

I think someone should build a simple, relatively cheap drone with a bomb and open source the design. Make it so anyone with a 3d printer and some basic supplies can hit their property from a reasonable distance away. Make them afraid to have that wealth.

I don't think this is particularly crass. They are free to just not hoard all the wealth and do the worst things. Then people wouldn't blame them for the things they cause.

And these guys just go around buy up hearts and minds, burning down their 100th place of residence would only get spun into some dystopian novel used against your cause. Yet we are watching Albania step up and threaten something like this but that has many layers and they are organizing VS someone on the internet suggesting lone wolf vigilante justice , or I could be wrong.

At some point one would think high ranking military might break off and start forcing change, before that might happen , doing stuff like this would only allow for legal actions to be taken against people burning down a parasites 100th address. Following the rule of law is necessary if you want to keep the general population on your side, Until it isn't.
