They come from the concern that stupid, willfully ignorant, and brain washed people can affect our lives in a negative way.
Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA?
Letsdothisok@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoAfter trumps 4 years are over, I hope those filled with fear, like yourself, see the light and seriously ponder where the roots of your fear come from, or rather, WHO they come from.

Well, I hope you die in a fire. I’ve got real people who are in real danger, danger I see in person and not just as a hypothetical, and it’s bullshit that you’re trying to pretend it’s some sort of delusion. I’ve had to deal with literal Nazis threatening to shoot people and you’re trying to play any reaction to that as some media based trickery? Eat shit.

You’ve " got real people" who are in “real danger?” Who exactly are they, and why/how are they in danger? What are they doing that is putting themselves in danger?

I don’t owe you shit for answers, especially if you’re already going to act like I’m making this up. You’re coming out the gate not taking me seriously so why should I give you any respect, much less enough respect to answer your questions? Go fuck yourself.

The only people that have anything to fear are those who are doing something wrong, legally, and probably morally. I didn’t actually need your answer.

we’re watching an unprecedented purge in only a couple months of an administration. led by people who have openly admitted they want to destroy American democracy and institute a dictatorship.
me personally I think Trump already crossed the Rubicon. but in the very near future there will be an order by the Supreme Court for Trump to stop doing something. He won’t stop doing it. And then it will be abundantly clear to everyone we’re in a new stage of US history

Roman history didn’t end after Julius Caesar. In fact, the empire would reach its peak a couple hundred years after that moment and then dominated for hundreds of years afterwards.
It just wasn’t really a Republic anymore.
Of course that isn’t to say the US will get stronger, I think the opposite. Just that the end of democracy doesn’t necessarily mean the end of the country.

Lol… my god, man! This is good stuff. Real story book stuff.
It’s honestly surprising to see the level of fear that you and others have been sold. You people need to come back down to earth.

then please wise one- assuage my fear by showing me how the purge isn’t a purge. release me from this trembling terror by convincing me that the administration is not actually breaking federal law. save me from this horror and show me the light

They’ve never said they want to end democracy. And they won’t try to end democracy. You’ve been caught up in the fear mongering, my friend.
