      Wait - we all agreed last Tuesday that Don Lemon’s protection was YOUR job. Why’d you allow them to take him, Frobozz? Were you sleeping on the job, or did they pay you off?

        I highly suspect the people trying to paint my entire country as complicit with Trump are paid agitators.

        I just can’t wrap my head around people being this stupid otherwise.

          paid agitators

          Or people who understand that what’s going on is a collective responsibility.

          wrap my head around…

          Neither can we. We told them to vote repeatedly, which is the easy way out, but they’ll never learn. He even gave them a trial run and they put him in again.

          It’s a collective responsibility. The US is where it is because they refuse to do their national duty and vote. So yeah, this is on the country.

      I’m Canadian. Am I responsible every time the police in Canada arrest people for breaking laws I disagree with?

        I am also Canadian- and we are both responsible for ensuring we don’t get to that point. Americans are armed to the teeth and thus have fewer excuses, however.

          So there are currently no laws you disagree with in Canada? You agree with every arrest police make and will otherwise stop them?

            I just realized you’re doing the MAGA thing where you frame what’s happening in the US as a difference of opinion. We’re done here.

              The fuck are you talking about? I know what’s happening in America is fucked up. Check my comment history. I just think it’s ridiculous to hold every American responsible for every arrest in the country. It would be like holding you or I responsible for every arrest in Canada. Some kid got arrested for underage drinking even though pretty much everyone does it? YOU allowed it to happen

      Exactly this! Why were you not all camped out outside his house and accompanying him to the restroom?! You should be at every protest, and journalists home, and journalists work, and checks notes at their hotel while they’re covering the Grammys, simultaneously or you’re failing your country!

      This is a bad take. You can’t stop someone from being taken into police custody. It’s a great way to get shot and accomplish nothing. This is the actual cops, not an ice raid.

          Yes but the statements agitators and those seeking to divide all of us who stand against Trump are always insisting “Americans” or many even say “All Americans”.

          These people are traitors to humanity. They stand with Trump’s propaganda wing whether they like it or not.

            We’re just all appalled at seeing America slide into… whatever it’s becoming with seemingly no resistance. It’s very unsettling.
