Republicans will accept anything from a Republican-controlled government, up to and including total dictatorship. Most Democrats are too spineless to enact sweeping, meaningful changes, which means they're never on the verge of succumbing to authoritarianism. Put simply: if we were going to revolt, we would've done it already, it requires a certain percentage of the populace to all be on the same page.
Pop quiz: a hundred thousand people with 9mm pistols versus one fully-manned stealth bomber, who wins? The US government has bombed and shot its own citizens any number of times throughout history, that's how confident they were that people wouldn't fight back. And they didn't.
This isn't a topic; it's a direct attack from the birth of the topic.

And a weak attack at that. There's plenty about Biden's beliefs and history, not to mention gaffes, to levy legitimate criticisms at, but "BiDEn ThInKs yOU'd NeED oVeRWheLMiNg FOrCe tO TaKe dOWn tHe US mIliTArY" isn't among those.
You need F15s and a nuke to take down Biden, but a handful of yokels and idiots taking selfies in the Capital Dome were totally about to overthrow the entire government
But they didn't. And they weren't close. Biden literally won fair and square several months ago.

They didn't capture or kill a single Congressperson, even Mitt Romney who was slowest to react, so let's not overstate their accomplishments here. Ultimately all they did was destroy a whole lot of property, smear shit on the walls, and fly the confederate flag in the Capitol building, which is exactly the type of behavior you'd expect of yokels and idiots.
And it certainly wasn't for lack of trying that they didn't kill any Congresspeople that day, as people were killed and explosives were found planted in several places.
Joe Biden should probably stop talking about the second amendment throughout history, he's obviously not educated enough on the subject to have an opinion on it. Not only were cannons not restricted, the citizenry often owned newer, more effective weapons than the military. This is because military contracts are more concerned with reliability and value for money than being on the bleeding edge of technology. It was always significantly more important to order large quantities of easily serviceable weapons that produce repeatable results than to jump on the latest new mechanism, most of which were goofy and didn't stand the test of time. Anyone actually interested in the evolution of service rifles, or military-grade weaponry in general, should probably listen to an expert like Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons fame instead of this old codger. Joe's demonstrably wrong, and even fact-checkers won't side with him on this one.

Regarding a potential conflict between U.S. citizens and the federal government, I'm leaning towards the citizens winning outright, on the proviso that the gross majority of the citizenry actually wanted to overthrow the government. The citizens have the military outnumbered to the tune of 300 to 1, and you can only do so much with "F15's". Historical record shows that the American military might is geared specifically to combat and dismantle opposing military forces, it is not equipped to combat guerilla fighters, and has rarely (if ever) succeeded in doing so. The conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq are still on-going - they can't even win in the dustbowl, let alone on their home turf where the military would be restricted from using their own toys. You don't "nuke" your own front lawn. Not that it matters anyway since it's not a realistic scenario.
As to whether a thread about Joe Biden's various funny gaffes should or should not be allowed, I personally see no issue with it - if the man makes a fool of himself on national television and someone wishes to compile all those statements into one stand-up routine in which everyone except Joe Biden is laughing, God speed. With that being said, we'll wait and see what other moderators have to say on the matter, since such a thread is liable to generate flame wars and arguments, which we generally like to avoid.

God forbid this section host any actual discussion or news, nah let's just cater to the lowest common denominator and let Trump trolls post memes in multiple "own the libs" megathreads because that's all they're comfortable with.
Pretty sure that's what the "libs" have been doing for the last 4 years, I don't see why it shouldn't work both ways. All work and no play makes Xzi a dull boy - a little bit of levity is welcome in these dark times as far as I'm concerned.God forbid this section host any actual discussion or news, nah let's just cater to the lowest common denominator and let Trump trolls post memes in multiple "own the libs" megathreads because that's all they're comfortable with.

Yeah that's a bullshit justification, link me to the "Big President Trump Fail Compilation."
And "dark times" my ass, if you aren't out enjoying this beautiful weather each day then that's on you brother. Lots of smiles on lots of faces. Can't wait for concerts to start coming back.
Regardless of whether or not this thread should be locked, the title of this thread breaks the titling guidelines for this section. If it can't be retitled without completely changing the point of the thread, it should be moved to EoF.
That's a separate issue that's already being discussed, the more important question we're debating as staff is whether the thread should exist at all given the fact that it's guaranteed to cause problems and flaming. One thing at a time.
Not sure what the issue here is nobody on this site is been called out here if Lacius and others don't like they can just ignore it
There won't be any flaming nobody is making stuff up this are videos and stuff that are actually happening
This is a simple topic to archive and discusses some of Biden's so call fails and mental issues
From my end there wont be any flaming

@Xdqwerty, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan! is the Japanese version of the game, different settings/characters/songs but otherwise identical mechanics. I played that before I knew about Elite Beat Agents lol. Both fantastic games https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osu!_Tatakae!_Ouendan+1 -
