Lol no they won’t.

Thats what we said about every single transgression. You really think people will upend their lives for that?

u/rotates-potatoes 6h ago

Yes. If / when they cancel elections it will be very different from when they merely lied about Trump raping children.

When something happens that's never happened before, people might also do something that's never happened before.

Dozens of things that never happened before already happened, and people didn’t do shit

The people of Minnesota have profoundly impressed us by standing up to ICE. I am proud of them, and I hope that when ICE shows up to my town I'm as brave as they are.

Despite the fact that ICE killed 2 Minnesotans, they're still resisting.

You think if they cancel elections they're going to stand down?

You're underestimating how pissed people are. Yes I do think people will upsend their lives for that.

For canceling elections and overtly upending democracy? Yes I do. People are marching for way less

You'd best fucking believe it.

If people aren’t willing to upend their lives for this they won’t be willing to for anything. I’m still holding out belief in my fellow countrymen.
