ID: line drawing of an upright bunny with a black bandana tied around their neck, holding a lit match in their mouth like you might a toothpick. The text says “we can’t just vote fascism away, the time has come to disobey. (be brave!)”

Violence is not any solution to political change. The elected president of the United States is Donald Trump, and while I and many others are not happy, violence is not any answer to an outcome you don’t favor. You people disgust me, and while I’m largely sure half of you live in Moscow, it’s still unacceptable and unamerican to even talk of violence like this.
I’m not saying people should jump to violence, but to say it’s never the answer is nieve. Would you say Hitler shouldn’t have been violently opposed?
Get organized and work for good. Build your community, join mutual aid groups, and do whatever you need to do. Also, be prepared for whatever may come. If violent resistance is needed, be ready. Hopefully it isn’t but, as Thomas Jefferson said:
“[W]hat country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
Don’t give up hope. If they want to bring fascism, make them fight for it. Don’t let them have it for free.
You are a reasonable person with reasonable opinions and are entirely correct. Those in this thread explicitly calling for violence deserve our condemnation.
Congratulations on siding with and enabling fascism! 🎉🎉🎉
E: Oh, and just to give you a clue, not that you’d let it penetrate your well maintained wall of wilful ignorance: we aren’t the ones inflicting violence, we are the ones fighting back in self defence. You are the one on the wrong side of history.
Pro-Toupee people are Russian bots, pro-third party people are Russian bots, anti-genocide people are Russian bots, anyone who wasn’t enthusiastically a right-of-center Democrat is a Russian bot.
I had no idea so many people are all Russian bots!
I’m tired of “being the bigger person”. Four years ago, Trump wouldn’t even admit that he lost the election. They’re hitting below the belt, and we have one hand behind our back.
