Ah, right, certainly the next President will also behave the same way...

This feels terribly naive. It would be one thing if we could cement into the Constitution that the President does not have immunity, but Congress can barely pass a funding bill, let alone an amendment. But failing to use the power granted to try and set the country on a better path just ensures that a dictator will rise who does not care about keeping the status quo. And Trump will have a rubber-stamp SC that will say any act he seems to be official is.

Good. The other justices don't deserve any respect.

There are certainly more than that ready to go to war. But they're also smart enough not to out themselves for some petty stuff like this or the Trump trial. They'll stay hidden until the time is right to try something serious. Don't underestimate how many right-wing Americans are out there ready for violence.

Yes, you should. And train with them. Find nearby like-minded people you can train with. You don't need many, but you really need to know how to use them.

Trump is no Mandela. And something tells me Trump's supporters would feel very different about voting for someone like Mandela...

Up voting for linking to Dead Domain. It's a good video with a lot of time taken to go over the various issues. Certainly doesn't cover absolutely everything, but does a good job showing why TST ends up being more marketing than actual good.

A less problematic Satanist org fighting the good fight would be nice

What is a pension? /s

But also, no. No one should be forced to endure this world just to keep pensions going.

There are a lot of parents that are not supportive of their children. Especially if they fall on the LGBTQ+ spectrum. This puts kids at risk. This will harm children.

Some parents are just bigots. Some are brainwashed by religion. Some are just afraid and/or angry about anything they don't understand. If a kid isn't telling their parents, there is probably a VERY good reason. Kids get beaten. Kids get kicked out of their homes. Kids get sent to conversion camps. Parents can be just as terrible as anyone else.

The bigoted propaganda has worked well on you. Say hi to JK Rowling at the next meeting.

I get the feeling you haven't interacted with any trans people. Or taken any time to listen to their stories. You should really broaden your understanding.

You're vastly overestimating the US military's ability to deal with an insurgency. Did we quickly "win" in Iraq? Did we quickly "win" in Afghanistan? There may be some quick quelling of fighting, but we've proven to be terrible at managing insurgencies.

And there's the matter of just how many guns are present in the US. We have more guns than people. Over 400 million guns and growing. There are times where a lone gunman in Afghanistan was able to occupy an outpost for hours just by taking a few shots, moving position, taking a couple more shots, and then leaving.

Any civil war will be long, messy, and involve a LOT of different factions.

I am very ok with Trump encouraging behavior that could kill his followers. I hope they take his advice and go even if they're very sick with COVID.
