Because I prefer a peaceful, lawful transition of power over a violent, bloody coup. We’ve seen the latter tried three times in this country, both successfully and unsuccessfully, and each time they were rather ugly affairs. Let’s try it differently this time, shall we?
And since the last two times were rather unsuccessful (not to mention, embarrassing) let’s see if we can get it right this time without doing our best to kill each other like a bunch of methed-up apes.
Edit: it says so much about this country that the citizens are literally willing to put their lives on the line to change this country, while those in power to change it simply with words aren’t even willing to put their careers on the line.
I prefer peace, but that option is dwindling day by day. The most peaceful option is voting, yet millions of people were denied the right to vote in the last election, and Republicans are gearing up to do it again in the midterms and beyond.
Peaceful protesters are being arrested or executed. People peacefully voicing dissent are being labeled terrorists, and the DOJ is being weaponized to go after peaceful political opponents. People peacefully and lawfully navigating the immigration process are being jailed, separated from their families, and deported to places they have never been before.
They have already chosen violence. While I prefer peace, if they want to remove all peaceful means available, then the only option left is to fight back.
