Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

So an unelected figurehead of the federal government has come to my state, had a senator I voted for arrested over asking a question which is his civic duty to ask, and has now made threats at removal of my elected govenor as well as an elected mayor of one of the cities here.
At which point would these actions be considered tyrannical enough to provide a decent argument for a use of the 2nd amendment in court?
Never, if we accept the intent of the 2nd amendment is to stop a tyrannical us government it does so be making sure you have the means for a rebellion (or the states actually). In that case you would not be judged for your actions like a criminal.
It of course does not apply to individuals taking action on their own (and they alone would not be able to bring down a regime). The best you could hope is a pardon/amnesty by a new pro democracy president/authority, if you are still alive.
do me a favor and read what you wrote again. I think you're trying to say something but it's impossible to tell.
The issue is on your end, my message is clear.
haha you're going to double down? like, I'm really trying to get through that first sentence and it's total gore. at the very least there's some missing punctuation but even when I try to put pauses in places where there should be commas it's just a pile of lost plot. I've tried like 10 times and I don't know why.
There's some missing punctuation (and typos), in a social media post, written on a mobile phone, the horror! I 've switched to a PC with a proper, physical keyboard.
I am confused by your mention of pauses, are you reading it aloud and trying to split it when you need to breath? You should be identifying verbs, their subjects and their objects.
But I doubt either you, or the other downvoters do not actually understand my post. It's far more likely you do, but it offends you.
It's ironic that pro-democracy Americans can't handle criticism of America's mythology. Even more so, if you understand that using your, 2nd amendment protected, guns to stop tyranny is simply right wing propaganda to conceal their power fantasy of killing people they don't like, with their 2nd amendment provided guns.
lol wut? in no way do I disagree with left wing politics. I just sincerely struggled to follow the content of the writing. I can usually glean the gist and in this case I could kinda sorta get it. but it really was more of a struggle than usual.
