    They just had the largest protest in their history, have a handful of cities under military intervention to stop the protests, and are close to elect somebody that promises to fight against the federal government as mayor of their largest city.

    What exactly do you expect them to do?

      They’re likely expecting what we here in America call a “second amendment solution”, while ignoring that anyone who tries that is going up against the most powerful military to ever exist and will just get themselves killed.

      It has taken the religious right almost 50 years of planning to take over government to this point. We’re not going to undo their bullshit overnight. But at least America is finally waking up to it and starting to work against the buffoon we unfathomably put in the white house. As well as the indoctrination the right wing of this country has been under for a generation now.
