Well then, guess you should just keep your head down and submit. All this "2nd amendment" and "don't tread on me" talk was nothing but bluster. Maybe someone else will come invade the US to introduce democracy for you.

You're still not getting it. This is a US government coup. They're not following laws or the Constitution because they arent the US government. It's the fucking Confederacy again.
