Potential for Violence

To be fair, Kevin Bacon *was* a Nazi.

Violence and intolerance come from people who oppose Trump. His supporters are peaceful.

Well this post aged well.

Trump supporters are worse than BLM protesters. Period!

Kyndo?  Hello?

I feel there's a lot less potential for violence in my life in South Korea than back home.

The potential for violence in Canada, America, and the rest of the West is very small. Nothing’s gonna happen to you in all likelihood.

Yep. I recently shifted several off-topic comments from one thread to another thread where they would be completely on topic. It seemed like something worth doing despite, as you say, that it's all unpaid labour. 

And while I don't believe that people are quite as invested in a discussion about bananas as they are about things like identity, legal issues, and gender politics, I'll go ahead and make a new topic thread and move the relevant comments there. Even though it's a lot of work. Lot's and lot's and lot's of work...

No need to make a new thread. Just put it in the Friday’s pointless ramblings thread. Or just leave it here. America hating Aussie Adel was trying to say the USA is a banana republic. (Which it’s not.) Instead of dignifying that with a response, we discussed bananas.

 To be fair my post was on the topic of banana republics and completely relevant to the shenanigans in Washington at present and the title of this thread! 

Perhaps I should've posted a video devoid of my own commentary.

By the Super Bowl, this will all be forgotten. If this happened in France, no one would bat an eye. You had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands there. Several hundred went stupid, one person was shot. Then everyone went home.

Yawn.

I'm fairly sure it would be a pretty big deal in France, actually.
Coup d'etats are pretty rare in the West. Even attempted ones are few and far between.
 The last coup attempt in France is still being taught in school, and that was, what, 60 years ago?

I can 100% understand urging people to remain grounded and trying to engender a measured response, but I'm not really sure "yawn" is an appropriate response to everything that happened today.

Coup d'etat?  Seriously? This is a slightly glorified Whiskey Rebellion.

They must have you so wrapped around their finger if you think THIS is a serious coup attempt and Trump-Russia was just a legitimate investigation.

France has had worse. UK had a 70 year domestic terrorist campaign that eventually saw part of it granted legitimacy and diplomatic recognition.

Heck, Vietnam was way worse. This is a fart in the wind compared to then. People legit thought the country was on the verge of revolution.

Coup d'etat
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't you previously use such language to describe the Mueller investigation ?

The Trump-Russia stuff was a soft coup and the fact you cant see that shows how brainwashed you are.

They took non-evidence and flimsy reports to justify an intense PR and investigative campaign against the President simply because they disagreed with his policies.

coup:
Noun: sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government.

Is English your first language?

It's called a 'soft coup.'

Maybe if you are so uninformed as to be unfamiliar with the term or the various ways coups can take place, you should refrain from having strong opinions on politics.

A yes or no would suffice!
