President Trump suggested a federal takeover of New York City and Washington, claiming a "tremendous power at the White House to run places when we have to."
You Americans always skip to shootouts for some reason. You went from “I don’t have stamps at home so I am skipping voting this decade” to fantasising about shootouts with police real fucking quick, skipping millions way more useful and way more non-community-destructing ways to resist, as if resistance isn’t the point, but dying “glorious” death is.
“Skip to” isn’t quite fair, because the million things that can be done need to be done by tens of millions of people, and not everybody has those opportunities. So for some, “Guess I’ll get a gun while I still can,” is just the next thing they can do after voting and protesting and calling and writing and donating and speaking, because we’ve been taught for a long time that that’s how these things go and the best defense is being armed.
And even beyond that, saying “You Americans” as though we’re all a like-minded group is as silly as assuming that everyone is from the US.
Everyone has a bunch of opportunities between doing nothing and “here I go killing again”. Everyone. But (and yeah, I’m engaging in generalisations, but you’re not beating the allegations so to speak) “you Americans” always put “I need to start shooting people” waaaay up high on the hierarchy or possibilities.
I’m not American, but I feel like I would rather go out in a blaze of glory, as it were, than be sent off to the queer prison biblical re-education camps that don’t seem to be very far away.

Goomba fallacy.
Is it a fallacy if every galoomba is saying the same exact shit.
