    Yes. I wish they would.

    Especially if the government said that those people were not allowed to participate in the political process, but given that the US political process is a joke and a sham, I don’t have any sort of belief in “upholding its territorial integrity” or anything like that.

    Legitimacy derives from the consent of the governed, does it not?

    See how I was able to immediately provide a very clear answer to your question? Now do mine.

        So, do you remember how British colonists Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin went to France to negotiate for French military aid against the British, and how Lafayette arriving with that aid was vital to the success of the American Revolution? Well, I happen to be of the opinion that when people say that Trump is a fascist or is acting like a king, and that “in America, we don’t do kings,” that those words actually have meaning and aren’t just empty slogans.

        The real question is, why do y’all think it would be bad for people resisting fascism to have access to artillery systems and missile batteries? 🤔

        Btw, still no answer to my original question.
