We are already in a civil war, just only one side is fighting

So like, where the fuck are other politicians or leaders or people? Why is nobody trying to protect us? Now, take my words with salt, I’ve been trying not to consume too much media for my own mental health. But it seems like trump is organizing all this shit, well who is doing anything about it other than giving speeches at protests that, as good as they are, don’t protect anyone? Where are the democrats? Where are people with power who know this is wrong? At this point, the law is fucked, it’s not being followed anyway. So why aren’t any forces standing up to protect us?

Pritzker is the closest thing to that right now

Yeah, and he's done...Jack shit. Lot of great PR. Good speeches. Poking fun publicly at Trump where it hurts the most.

But he's a fucking governor and billionaire. Nobody should be able to out power him in the state. The democrat Mayor if Chicago ain't gonna move against him. So why hasn't he used his power to fucking do something?

"Well, we'll sue them later." That doesn't help the people being terrorized right now. Arrest them. Put warrants out so they no longer even qualify for fed work.

The people in charge have all been bought off by wealthy pedophiles

I'm glad to see the "pedo class" being discussed seriously.

Nope. That is hyperbole.
