Liberal Hypocrisy Exposed

Ever since Donald Trump was elected president, liberals have been screaming at the top of their lungs that Trump is a racist, fascist, insane person who is the agent of a foreign power that wants to destroy American democracy and western civilization.

Yet when the idea of an armed populace being a check on government tyranny is brought up, liberals scoff.

But what are they scoffing at? According to their own words, the US government is under the control of a dangerous, unhinged, treasonous tyrant. If anything, liberals should be taking up arms against him, assuming they are not being hyperbolic and unhinged themselves.

Thoughts?

 

You can tell when you've stymied liberals by their lack of a response.

 

Pretty much speaks for itself.

 

posts like this prove this is nothing but a flamebait thread.

Mods, please close.

 

I don't think Trump is a racist, fascist, insane person, etc. Just an incompetent narcissist jerk.

Please explain to me how you see the "armed populace" in the US operating as a "check on government tyranny".

 

Mods, please ignore this petty and transparent attempt to silence me.

 

Then you are in a minority of liberals.

I would have thought it rather obvious.

Trying to tyrannize an armed populace is far riskier than trying to tyrannize a populace that has no arms.

Therefore, an armed populace serves as a deterrent.

 

Shhhhhhh...don't intrude on his comic book fantasy.

He's going to go to war to defend Trump

 

OK let's hypothesize here, because I am interested in how you see this working out. Let's say a President declares himself President for life. The military and police force all back the current president. How exactly do US citizens do anything about this?

 

I've seen liberals say this about every Republican President since Reagan, but the problem is they do not believe that an armed populace is a check against tyranny. Typical liberals are not students of history- they don't understand how a inferior armed populace can overcome a superior armed army. They do not understand that a populace can win a numbers game when they vastly out number the invading army. They don't understand a native populace knows the terrain and that gives them a distinct advantage in guerilla war fare.

So, ignorance. This is why.

 

This is your first issue. The military is a volunteer/citizen military to prevent just that.

 

That is your comic book fantasy. He loathes Trump. Even more though, he loathes ignorance and hypocrisy.

 

I actually agree, but if you are certain the military would never back a move like this, then there is no point in having an armed populace. For this hypothetical situation you have to assume the military and police would back the government.

 

You seem to forget the little historical example of what happened when an armed population went to war against the US government in a little thing called the civil war. And that was back when both sides had equal armaments, which would hardly be the case now.

So I would say ignorance lies in your assertion, not the other way round.

 

You are assuming an all or nothing scenario either way. It wouldn't be that either.

 

History much?

 

OK equivocate all you want. What happens next? How exactly do civilians plus some ex military do anything about this hypothetical situation?

 

Why do the military and police force all back the president? Are we to assume they are wrong to do so? I mean, a unanimous decision like that is important, wouldn't you think?

 

The incompetent narcissistic jerk has done more for America in one year than Obama did in his entire presidency. Talk about incompetent and narcissistic. The damage Obama did to our beloved republic fills volumes, please enlighten all of us, please tell us the facts behind your allegations.

 

probably by starting their own government like this:

And then by defending that government with their weapons.

 

While they are accusing Trump, they are mobilizing libs, illegals and others to vote, change laws, redistrict states for their advantage and for the neutering of the electoral college. Make no mistake. Cons are losing the war.

 

Now there's a straw man premise if ever there was one.

 

That's pretty vague, could you be more specific. Would they all congregate somewhere? Would they be willing to take up arm against police officers and US military? How exactly do you see this working out? What happens when the police and military show up with armored vehicles, drones, tanks, etc.?

 

It doesn't really matter. I just am interested in how someone thinks US citizens with rifles and hand guns could or would engage in combat with the police and US military.

 

Thanks for sharing your opinion.
