Uncivil War

Here in Michigan we had "protesters" in our capitol opposed to the Stay Home order.



Not only did they gather but they intentionally created gridlock and prevented some ambulances from passing through. They intend to protest again.



Additionally we have at least four Sheriffs who have openly stated that they will not enforce the governor's Stay Home order in their counties.

Now we have the President of the United States advocating for these armed protesters to "liberate" their states. It is as if President Lincoln was the leader of the Southern States and advocating for them to secede.

How is this not treason? Advocating for armed rebellion against the government.

He seems to think stay at home translates into taking away somebody's guns. I wonder if they even speak the same language the rest of us speak.

to protect their 2nd Amendment rights. Has any single governor said they have to give up their precious guns while staying at home?

These are whiny babies with guns and they are pitching a full blown temper tantrum and he is inciting them to violence on top of it all. He wants the country to fall and have a civil war, it looks like. Is there no way to get him out of office sooner?

Second...this is an act of sedition by the President of the United States. He must be removed from office right NOW.

This is the response we should have. I don't care that these people are idiots.
They should be dispersed or arrested.
The sheriffs should be fired.
The President should be charged with sedition and removed from office.

Why are some wearing masks. Seems pretty hypocritical of them. Or perhaps like Isis they want to be trouble makers but I identified. Babies.

Those are just the future leaders of Trumpistania under General Trump's Great Regime.

I don't see the representatives of High Chancellor Pence's Gilead Division, though.

I completely agree.
If not, what is to stop the protesters from firing their guns?
The national guard? What if Trump nationalizes them?

This is very very close to a coup.

are there for you. And they are there with the blessing of the President of the United States. That is not a protest, that is an insurrection and should be treated as such. Those AR15s need to be shoved up their owner's asses if it takes the National Guard to do it.
