That's exactly how they want it to feel. I don't think the USA will get out of this unscathed.

It's worked to found the nation and gain independence. It worked to ensure slavery ended. It worked in both world wars. Americans have no problem using it in every single country in Latin America and the middle east. What's good for the goose...
This is exactly how it's being orchestrated. Pit the people against each other so the politicians and wealthy can get away with literal murder.
We are being governed by the "Epstein Elite", literal pedophiles and sex traffickers and the idiots that kneel to them.
1775: Breaking News, there's a growing number of colonists who think violence is necessary...
if this comes to violence, I will be slaughtered. not because I plan to fight, but because trans people have been so thoroughly villianized by the Right. I won't hurt a soul, but I expect to be hurt.
violence would be a catastrophe.
I’ve always been happy to be Canadian, but the current state of things in the US… I mean, we’ve got our problems, but god damn. My friends aren’t in danger of being disappeared by government agents because they’re not pale white.
I'm Canadian too, but I'm also getting sick of fascists and wouldn't mind punching a few in the face. These people are disgusting and only understand violence, seems like.
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
I hate that I agree with this.
Humans can be so much more than violent cavemen, but we aren't there quite yet.

They think violence might be necessary?
Does the necessary violence look this?
Just asking because I don't know nor understand.
Self defense.
Depending on how the question was worded Im willing to bet a large portion of those means violence against the lunatic leftists.
I mean, I'm for it. Just waiting for the green light when it's ok to punch a Nazi and be considered a patriot and not a criminal...
Be clear, I believe in peace first. But when peace and negotiation is no longer an option, your hand is forced until peace and negotiation is an option.
Think of it like this. Bully attacks you, you ask them to stop and they don't. One day you decide to put the bully in an wrist lock! Bully is now screaming in pain. Bully now agrees to stop attacking you. Peace has been restored.
there will be no green light. one side will be legitimized as lawful agents or paramilitaries, every excess of force overlooked, and our side will be considered criminals and terrorists, even in self-defense.
if it comes to violence it will be more like the Troubles than the Civil War.
I could wish really really hard that you're wrong, but you're not.
Well if an ICE officer stops my husband based on his appearance we’ve both agreed that we should resist that arrest.
That would end in violence and probably our deaths. What else can we do? Let them take us god knows where?
And after all that training we've had to never let kidnappers take you to a secondary location! There really isn't another choice.
I don't think getting it on track requires or will even be helped by violence
I firmly believe, however, that many powerful people will violently resist the re-tracking
This is an amazing nuance I think may be lost on many.
PBS running these insipid polls lately is so fucking offensive.
Americans are already doing violence on Americans to execute their fascist vision of this country, en masse, within and without institutions. Violent change is here. The violence question is over. Public opinion is for TV.
Well it's true. You can't be diplomatic with fascists. You can't "get on the same level" with billionaires.
They have no reason to listen or care, unless we give them a reason to listen or care.
And no matter what, all violence is somehow leftist violence. Trump in his speech to the generals said that they need to deploy against 'animals' who fire at firefighters climbing ladders to save people. At first I was incredulous, but then I saw a comment that pointed out that not too long ago a Trump supporter really did fire at firefighters doing their jobs (and climbing ladders). Not only that, but he was the one who started the fire in the first place to bait them.
Yet it is our fault somehow...
The Rest of The World: “duh!”
Unfortunately that appears to be the only way to get rid of them. They continually ignore the established laws and protests and " sternly worded emails/letters/phonecalls.
