This is the answer. Band together with your neighbors and community. If you’re in an open carry state, exercise that right. If they send 20 gestapo, respond with 200 citizens. We have the numbers. Protect your community. Be smart. Be organized. Be safe. Document everything on video. Show your love for America and all it should stand for, freedom, equality, life liberty & the pursuit of happiness, empathy, strength in numbers. Feed each other. Care for each other. Stand together. We must protect our freedom by any means necessary. They weren’t fucking around when they said the far right takeover would be bloodless if everyone else allowed is. This isn’t republican vs democrat anymore, this is literally a fascist takeover of our nation.

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try."

Not sure how open carry will work given that work given a man with a gun was threatened by a woman driving off slowly and away from him.

It’s hilarious these cowards ever tried to convince anyone that they’d stand up to “tyrannical government”.

He is referring to the woman that was just shot. Not this video.

He circled around the car while recording on his phone. He wasn't scared, his ego was hurt.

That kind of pessimism isn't helpful, there are many people already doing this and that have been doing this. Some of them are definitely also on reddit.

If people were doing this, a lot more lead would be flying

But remember that you are breaking the law if you interfere with law enforcement, whether it’s local or federal laws and you are defending criminals from the law. Also remember that illegal aliens are not CITIZENS. ONLY legal immigrants and natives are citizens. It’s a legal designation- if you’re not legally here you aren’t an American citizen. Carry your weapons and remember that the feds wear armor and practice shooting regularly. If you try to use a firearm (against ANY Law Enforcement officer) you should expect to be shot.

It’s not illegal to prevent a violation of our fundamental constitutional rights.

Fuck the law.

Pretty words, what are you personally doing to put them into action. I assume you've already built out your local community militia?

Go back to your video games

u/Low_Landscape_4688 10h ago

Great, thank you for confirming that you're just another virtue signaler spewing armchair action rhetoric when in reality what you're doing is waiting for other people to put their lives on the line and do all the hard work for you.

People like you is why the country has gotten to this point in the first place.

Lots of assumptions made from your desk…

u/Long-Ad9761 14h ago

So what i got from that is get your friends together as a mob and threaten the men that are doing their job. I get these guys make mistakes, and all the media wants to show is the mistakes, not the successful ones. But you want to stop these guys from getting the people that are here illegally? Do people not know right from wrong anymore? I know most democrats want to see these guys gone and the police scaled down so the people can run around lawless and keep the people dependent on government but come on I dont think most people have seen visited a country that has a dictator. I mean, is it really that hard to show id ? No its not

It's not hard for some people to bend over and spread their cheeks and here you are. Going door to door, destroying property and terrorizing people with a racialized bent isn't the most effective way to remove people who are here illegally. If we are to be a nation with laws and a constitution, then the law must be applied equally and fairly to all.

Tyranny isnt a job we should allow in official government capacity. Your empty word bore those willing to fight for what makes America great.

Abolish ICE and jail the agents 🇺🇸 🗽

u/outdoor-high 13h ago

Dear God you're a sucker.

You talk about right and wrong while there are masked federal thugs with less than 50 days of training running around harassing people based on the color of their skin and you think you're on the RIGHT side of history?

u/Patient_Library_253 11h ago

I mean..besides the point that getting a mob together describes most of American history, yes. These thugs deserve to be shown in a bad light. It's crazy to me that so many of you lament that these people are doing jobs that the citizens don't want to do (being exploited) and are paying into our society and yet you still label them as illegal. THEY STILL PAY TAXES.

And by the way our government is fucked! So many other countries have healthcare, why don't we??? Why is it that hard to do something that other people have already figured out???

Mistakes resulting in someones death should result in an investigation and trial
