    These criminal leaders are a disgrace by every measure! WE THE PEOPLE need to open a can of whoop on them so hard that no one forevermore would want to become a billionaire ever again because of what we did to the billionaire's attempting to dismantle our democracy!

    Somebody said, "this is the most Yin revolution in history." I agree... but that can only go for so long before push comes to shove.

    If this country were a bar, what we've experienced under the new administration is much like the drunk guy who won't shut up and is threatening everyone in the whole place and the whole bar knows the drunk guy can't make good on most of his threats and he's gonna get his arse kicked, maybe even arrested. It's just that we're all waiting and watching for when they push it just a little bit further and whole place goes after him at the same time.

    I think this video sums that analogy up the best:

    PS: "Today, Mark Carney made the most consequential announcement of any Canadian Prime Minister in modern history. Visibly pissed but composed, he said enough was enough:

    “We have to look out for ourselves. And we will do that.”

    “He [Trump] wants to break us so America can own us. And it will never ever happen.”

    “We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country.”

    "It felt less like a press conference and more like Churchill with better lighting. That wasn’t a press conference. That was world history in the making.

    A moment that will come to define us as the world’s biggest energy superpower, and it will be done in an unimaginably short period of time because it has to be. Canada will do things not thought possible. And we’re here, so it has to get done. BREAKING: Canada officially cuts ties with Trump’s America

    It will have to get a lot worse before the people will rise up.
    Nobody here cares about Canada or Greenland, it has to get personal

    The ones who are currently the most pissed off are the ones who stupidly voted for Trump because now they realize they might lose social security and veteran's benefits. They are also the ones who are the most dangerous and violent when they get angry. Look at videos from town hall meetings in GOP districts. Many GOP electeds can no longer visit with large groups of their constituents because they're so angry with them. That's where the uprising is going to get very bloody and it will be easy for things to continue to build up around a movement started by Luigi.

    agreed, but only when 'might' becomes 'have'
