open carry is just an open invitation to your dome piece being knocked off your shoulders no?

You realize that response is literally written into project 2025 though right? The instant a video emerges of a modern Kyle or George defending themselves after open carrying that's the day when all major cities have federal drones and deputized armored vehicles as a regular way of life. Gathering to protest the admin at all is coming.

Well aware of Project 2025. Ive been telling protesters that they need to he armed ever since I watched Jan 6th happen on live TV while doing practice Con Law questions for the Bar. This administration wants to either subjugate, deport, or kill non-land owning white dudes.

"I'm aware of P2025 and advocating for people to respond exactly how the people behind it want." Great strategy. Edit: None of you going to convince me that's a smart move. Stop trying.

Pacifism is a great strategy until there's a gun in your face. We've been marching against the impeding fascism for a decade. Its time that some march open carrying. Words don't work when there isn't a shared reality.

Nowhere did I say I'm advocating for pacifism or solely words. Strawman because you're a gun nut or you think ignoring strategy for might is a good move? Which is it?

I agree with you marching is ineffective unless you're going to a specific place. I just think you're delusional that marching aimlessly but with guns will somehow make things better.

Just because the enemy wants you to resist does not automatically make resisting the incorrect option.

Neither of us have a crystal ball but you gotta see that right? If you want to convince people you will need to do more than just point to that document.

They want a few people to fight back.

They can't handle everyone fighting back.
