The Americans who spout off about things like standing up to tyranny and how much they love having guns are not the same people participating in this protest. The government is actively supporting those people.
The protesters are the ones expecting the rule of law to eventually win, but also know how important it is to protest so that the rule of law continues to exist. It may not be as violent as you’re expecting, but it seems to me that they are walking the walk.
We haven’t done this in a while and we're a little rusty, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t fighting.
Guns is probably and mostly a typical right-wing fetish (despite Dem uniparty politicians doing nothing about it).
The freedom and revolutionary spirit talk is for sure bipartisan and typical American.
I can tell you now the velvet gloves, following the little rules is not going to work.
You will get nothing if you don't take it.
And when have you done this before?
I can't think of anything.
Edit:
Wondering if you've been influenced by this rat here:

And this is part of the problem. Maybe we should be the people bitching about tyranny and loving guns.
Slow down there baud. With talk like that someone might mistake you for some kind of anarchist!
