This kind of talk should be immediately condemned
Before posting this, I took screenshots and publicly condemned it immediately. And you should too.

It looks like she edited it after I took the screenshots but I still condemn it.
Here are the screenshots:
Before you get too many radical ideas from reading her call to action, read this:

Let me also be clear on something. I don’t know who this woman is personally and it doesn’t matter to me who said this. I’m specifically condemning the call to “overthrow” government while incorrectly stating that it’s “literally written in the Constitution” that you can do so. She was wrong and since edited her post. However, this kind of talk will likely play right into the corrupt media’s false narrative that the vaccine risk aware community is a threat to the public.
Let’s hope we don’t see headlines tomorrow like: Anti-Vax Organizer Plots to Overthrow Government.
“ When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The conversation regarding our rights is a worthy one but the call to action to “overthrow” a government should be condemned. She was wrong that the Constitution says that. You have correctly, as well as I, pointed out that the closest language comes from the Declaration of Independence. And it says “abolish,” not “overthrow.” Thank you for commenting. It’s important for people to know their rights and where they come from, but we need to be careful having this kind of talk circulate in the community. I can already imagine the headlines (and potential action) they will use to spin… Read more »
I don’t see any great difference between “abolish” and “overthrow”— especially as the Declaration was the prelude to the American Revolution, which DID, in fact, overthrow British rule.
Calling for “overthrow” will appear as an act of aggression but only she could clarify what she means by the terms used in her call to action. British rule was defeated in defense after the British instigated a war to prevent the American colonies from breaking free of Britain’s rule. One better trust that she knows what she’s doing. Me personally, I don’t trust that she does. I can only condemn any call to “overthrow,” no matter who the person is making it.
