    You’re not there yet? Your country is collapsing in real time, but, yeah…you’re not there yet. Ha!

      I’d be more than happy to trade places and watch you do all these gungho things you claim you’d do were you in my shoes. I bet I know exactly how that would turn out.

      No. We absolutely aren’t there yet.

      That’s obvious hyperbole. It’s not “collapsing in real time”.

      Yes there’s some very fucked up things going on, but it hasn’t had any impact on most peoples lives yet.

      A lone gunman isn’t going to achieve anything.

        You don’t think America’s collapsing in real time? It’s not lickety-split like the Francis Scott Key Bridge, but check back in a few months — these are the good old days.

          Subjective. What does “collapsing in real time” actually mean?

          My point is, the population is not ready for armed revolt. Until it is any violent actions won’t achieve much.
