I would like to remind you the students got sound weapon'd, and there was an undertone of potential violence.

Also, our election system still was working, so not riggable.

    There's a reason why the founders of America excplicitly said that revolution not done peacefully, must be done through force. They knew, no matter how vague, just what sort of calamity was coming, because such things had struck every kingdom and nation before the US.

    Unfortunately I don't think America is really ready for a revolution and I also believe we're still at a point where voting can genuinely make change.

    Half the reason any of this shit is happening is because a black guy got elected president and then a bunch of women, and even some not white people too

    The response has been this. It's fear with a facade of power that you're seeing.
