    Do it Americans. Jesus fucking Christ already. Your fucking population has more guns than people, an amendment to the constitution for this exact sort of thing, and instead of rising up, you’re sitting down on the couch watching Americas got talent.

    Wake. The. Fuck. Up America!!!

      I will say, that the lack of social services, social safety nets, and collective bargaining means that the first threat against your career and source of income immediately pacifies you.

      Some other European countries that have those benefits don’t realize what kind of burden Americans are under. I am literally afraid of them starting to ‘loyalty test’ people in my profession for loyalty to ‘trump’ instead of the constitution and the presidency (as outlined by the constitution, instead of someone who wipes their hands with it).

      The American “left” is less gun oriented or violence prone than those on the right.

      We yielded that ground for an assortment of reasons. There is no credible left wing terroristic threat. There is on the right.

      Different topics, but they rhyme.

      Most of those guns are owned by people who love this shit. So you could say it kinda backfired

      Narrator - the spineless amerikans used to talk big game when it comes to overthrowing a tyrannical government but its pretty clear they are just gonna bend the knee and take it in the ass without lube.
