PP is talking about saying "Fuck You" to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. And so it begins in Canada. Trump said exactly what he planned to do, and his followers were like, “I love this guy, he tells it like it is”. It is frightening that there are so many Canadians following this POS. 90,000,000 people didn’t vote in the US. Don’t be like them! VOTE VOTE VOTE 🇨🇦 ✊

Donald Trump is literally, yes, using the correct expression: literally -- a homegrown criminal.

This is exactly why the 2nd amendment exists.

Those of you who have served in the military and swore an oath to protect us from domestic enemies, please seriously consider honoring your oath before the rest of us have to do it for you.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

Wow, nothing like a shove forward as you step back right? I got news for you buddy, this isn't the kind of thing just a few people can fix. The country actually elected him. We need to build a movement to fight this, to prevent the country from just electing the next one.

when ice is coming to get me, no amount of weaponry will save me, all I'll do is take some nazis with me.

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 1 points 29 minutes ago

Group up with others of the same opinion and go hang at some brown people's houses. Don't wait. Force the issue.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 32 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

I want to be very clear here. If they take you, at A MINIMUM, they will beat you, torture you, SA you, and deny you civil rights and human rights. At worst, you die. You want all these slack jawed jackasses that won't raise holy hell about the government already doing this to immigrants, you're dead anyway. ''ICE kills US citizen'' is a much stronger headline than ''Trump says he will do this to citizens'' additionally when the ICE agents have to deal with the fact that ''just following orders'' includes a high chance of death, they might question the orders.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 28 minutes ago

They cover their faces and ID anyway, they should be blasted any place with stand your ground.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

As others have said, if they take you to a second location, you could either die or end up in a gulag in another country, which is probably as good as being dead.

May as well fight to the death. Make them pay for it. If you don't you could end up wishing you had another opportunity to.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Exactly this. The fear of torture to death would make me fight back when they bust in. This reminds me to start carrying and leaving easy access to the shotgun at home

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Ever snuck around the house because you knew your significant other or kid couldnt possibly be home at that time, but your significant other had changed their plans and come home unscheduled? I'd sure feel safer with a shotgun in my hands in that situation, I'll tell you what.

[–] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 7 points 15 hours ago

Melt the ICE

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Honestly, not true? ICE is a bunch of fatass fascist sympathizers that get their rocks off abusing their authority. If they try to kidnap you, they are not going to expect you to be armed and dangerous. They are not going to be prepared for you to fight back.

You'll have to flee immediately after, because they'll send more agents when the first turn up dead, but it at least gives you a chance.

[–] Boddhisatva@lemmy.world 1 points 14 minutes ago

They are not going to be prepared for you to fight back.

I would be willing to bet that a significant portion of them spend their workdays at half-mast just hoping for someone to resist with a weapon so they can execute them. They may be more prepared than you think.

He is literally begging to be put down like a rabid animal

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 4 points 14 hours ago

In Minecraft.

That new rabid animal mod, in Minecraft.

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 46 points 21 hours ago (25 children)

Buy a gun and if they come for you kill as many as possible

This is where our country is heading

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 10 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I would go absolutely feral. Ripping their throats out with my teeth and snapping any small bone I can grab.

This goes for anyone being kidnapped in my general vicinity as well. If I see that shit, it turns out that that is a good day to die. I will do it with glee.

Watch me laugh with their blood running down my face.

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 1 points 25 minutes ago

Do it. Force the issue. Hang in the immigrant communities. Meet the people. Teach them what you would do and help them prepare. Then fight with everything you have.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 2 points 49 minutes ago

This is the way, this is real shit. I too would go absolutely animal for my loved ones and myself, go berserk.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago

This is the correct approch. I can't stress this enough, when it costs ICE their lives, and the headlines are "12 citizen killed by ICE" then people will stop sitting on their hands like this is nothing. Don't let them put you in a ghetto, don't let them put you in a labor camp or a death camp, CALL THEIR HAND EVERY TIME, If you let them take you, you're dead anyway.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 23 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (3 children)

buy a gun

Yes you reading this. Even if you're white.

Arm yourself.

[–] reddit_sux@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

Only if your white; blacks and browns will be gunned down even if they have a stick or nothing.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago

And organize, they can and do pick out people who are alone, as they are cowards. If there are 10 of you walking, armed, they are less likely to fuck around

He means the violent militia types.. right?

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 36 points 23 hours ago (5 children)

Time to buy a gun. The left needs to arm themselves fuckin' yesterday.

Don't think that they won't come for you. The law is powerless to protect you from having your rights trampled on under this administration. All it takes is for King Trump to declare you a gang member and they have carte blanche authority to disappear you off the street.

I really wonder how all the protest voters feel about all of this. Not what they’d say they feel, because we’ve all seen their smug and entitled responses- no, what I want to know is; how they actually and honestly feel about all of this.

Because even though I voted, I’ve seriously thought about it. I’ve tried to put myself in the shoes of someone who has EVERY reason to ask themselves if all of this was worth the entitlement-driven single-issue excuse to avoid doing the bare minimum it would have taken to hold on to the last shred of our democracy- to avoid having to have participated in what might have been America’s last election.

Yeah. I’m fucking angry.

And I’m not yet ready to forgive the assholes that helped make this happen. And part of the reason is that while I’ve seen post after post and meme after meme of even the conservatives questioning their reasoning in voting for that corrupt little felonious mouth-breathing gremlin, I haven’t see even ONE of these third party/non-voters so much as make a peep in the general vicinity of remorse.

If they want to talk about rallying behind a cause- as we see them doing here so many times, they should first start by fessing up and own their shit, because in an adult world, anyone that can admit their mistakes proves they have the honesty, maturity, and humility it takes to deserve trust.

Otherwise- I see no reason to trust them any further than I would a conservative.

You need to ask the same question to your politicians, not voters. If its such a big issue why didnt the democratic party stand for anything? Winning was absolutely on the table, your establish dems didnt want to win either. Thats the problem.

Your dems didnt "help" make this happen, they made it happen arm in arm with right wing extremists. You think just because they call themselves democrats they arent right wing or fascist? America is so far right wing and filled with propaganda the populace cant make sense of it and still think they have a proper opposition party - you dont.

You wanted more people to vote? Just as many would have voted for Trump as well, wow good job.
