      Riot now, what the fuck is the goddamn holdup!?

      You won’t riot, you’ll just move the goalposts to “if he invades Canada we’ll riot” or “if he puts minorities in camps we’ll riot” or “if he starts arresting political opponents we’ll riot” and then you still won’t when he does those things

      no we won’t. we’re too tired and scared of losing healthcare when we get fired for rioting.

      what we will do is pray Iran uses one back. On mainland US soil. Heck, uses 50 of them back. We deserve, 100%, to get our teeth kicked in.

      nah, you’ll see a couple protestors on your feed holding signs. feel glad that “at least somebody is doing something” and then continue to go into work, watch prime, netflix, game, etc. buy groceries. eat snacks. sleep in when you can. maybe write a few angry comments and share a few posts. but you value your life, and the lives of your friends and family.

      like everyone else. just waiting for “jesus to come back”.

      and thats basically it.
