Comment on How do Americans win their country back?

I highly doubt the left will do anything uncivil.

Firstly, undestanding what left actually is would be a good start. You’re not talking about the left. You’re talking about liberals. Liberalism isn’t left. Liberalism is right-wing, and always have been.

The actual left is very happy to be “uncivil.”

Secondly, a good second step would be to finally accept that liberals, and liberalism in general, has never, and will never, oppose fascism.

Those are two very basic things you can do right now.

The left is such a small population in the US, it’s irrelevant. If we are to believe Trump’s rhetoric, any group that becomes too much of a nuisance will be deemed “the enemy within,” and be shot.

  And yet this “irrelevant” left managed to beat the far-right off the streets despite the far-right enjoying the support and protection of the police, not to mention luxurious funding. You don’t have to believe me, you can hear it from a Neo-Nazi himself.
  
  It’s almost like… if you were to stop paying attention to the liberal gaslighting you might realize the answer was right in front of you all this time.

    Ok, yes, I support actions like these, and they are good for community defense against small civilian fascist groups. There are not the numbers to counter organizations like FBI, DHS, or national guard though. Things are a bit different when the fascist group you’re trying to counter is the federal or state government with the will to kill and immunity from their actions.

    the will to kill and immunity from their actions.
    
    That’s what they’ve ALWAYS been.
    
    There’s a good reason leftists say, “Fascism is just colonialism coming home to roost.”
    
    What they have been doing in the rest of the world they will be doing to YOU sooner or later, and no amount of “voting harder” is going to stop that from coming to pass.
    
    You don’t get to decide that. It’s inevitable. The only thing you get to decide is what YOU will be doing about that.
