Americans, where will you realize that the longer you wait, the worse it will get ? The whole country should be in the streets now. You guys are fast tracking your way into a dictatorship, and unfortunately you may drag the entire Western world with you.

The videos from this are numerous and very clear about what happened. And yet, all the officials are telling that a guy is a domestic terrorist and approached ICE officers with a gun, with intent to kill them. How crazy is that ? And if they do this in cases where everything is filmed, you can only imagine what's happening behind the scenes.

The unfortunate truth I think is that no matter how many people might be with this idea of just "rising up" and taking back the country, america is is fucking massive and many cities and towns there is no noticeable ice or border patrol presence. So even if you can get people out and protesting at some common meaningless locations its going to be symbolic at best.

If you want out-of-band change in the U.S. it will at minimum take some combination of three things:

- sustained weeks or months long protests in D.C.

- extreme social pressure on congress representatives no matter where they may be.

- state governments in rebellion or threatening it against the federal government.

I don't think we're particular close on any of these.

Otherwise tough luck, wait for the probably manipulated elections.
