I've seen it pointed out that if people tried to use their second amendment right and take their small arms against the government they'd have to deal with:
a) Their water being cut off. Oh shit, didn't think of that.
b) They're waving their small arms in the air as an unmanned drone drops bombs on them.
c) Hey, in worst case scenario America could probably survive an entire city being nuked.
They have been flying predator drones since the protests started.
There was a big black spy blimp moored (?) over Baltimore for ages until it got blown away one day. Massive black thing, right there, spying, 24 hours a day. Like, have you ever seen an A-10 strafing run? That's the shit they put together in the 70s or something. How long do you think you stand up to that?
But yeah. Cut of the water. Yeah. If you cut off their anime porn for an afternoon they'd be on their knees.
The whole thing is they live in this imaginary fear world they've built for themselves. You can't change their minds, because that's their reality. I've said it before, it's not an unreasonable decision to make either. It's not surprising so many Americans end up so insane, because: it's fucking insane here.
