It’s been my worry for the past few weeks, tensions are so high and the administration is itching for the excuse to become even more heavy handed and draconian. I’m of the opinion this(not this moment but the full situation we find ourselves in) is all gonna end in massive violence one way or the other but I worry about this protest specifically because of how it’s been organized.

Requiring full and and email to RSVP to it? And how they’ve been working alongside the cops to make sure it’s just a demonstration and not a proper disruption. To me that screams bad opsec at minimum and if just one of the protests gets violent the fascists will get that list and use it as an excuse to round folks up and scare the shit out of others who want to stand against them.

I don’t want to tell people not to go, I went to pretty much every associated protest all summer in my area. But everyone should be extremely careful, don’t RSVP just show up, be wary of any bridges, and most importantly DONT BRING YOUR FUCKING PHONE

I’ve said this a few time on here, but I’m originally from spitting distance from her district, and based on my experience with so many other folks just like her; protecting children, specifically from conspiratorial trafficking and SA, is her number 1 priority, she’s usually really fucking bad at identifying ways to productively do so because she’s very poorly educated and indoctrinated, but if she has 100% confirmation Trump raped a child, which isn’t unlikely, she would almost certainly turn on him like it seems she has.

It’s very telling that the account you and I were arguing with hasn’t said shit in 5 days ain’t it.

Luckily it won’t just be China! WW3 on deck!

It’s definitely a major component of it

I think that if there are historians left to analyze this in 30 years they’ll probably drop the start line around the assassination of Charlie Kirk. There definitely are multiple different factions even within the conservative movement they haven’t completely turned on one another, the left is similarly at odds with itself.

When we see the White House calling on generals to be prepared to invade American cities with the military, judge’s houses are being burned down after giving verdicts disliked for political inconvenience, Chicago, Portland, LA, DC are all seeing extreme escalations in state sanctioned violence, states sending their national guard to other states to quell chaos that isn’t there, and mass shootings nearly everyday, sometimes several. To me that’s civil war that’s started heating up.

But if you’d rather call what were currently seeing and experiencing something like The Troubles in Ireland and wait until the conflict is even more overt feel free.

Which is why all the factions are trying to get their agenda advanced as quickly as possible before he croaks. The techno-feudalist side had the advantage with their boy JD poised to take over but removing him is much more politcally viable for the Christian nationalists in congress

Thank you

That’s not how civil wars work anymore, it’ll be akin to a Balkanization where there are multiple different factions, upstart states, militias and insurgencies. The second will be nothing like the first. The Syrian civil war is a decent smaller scale modern example

Edit: if you’d like a good idea of what it will look like I HIGHLY recommend the fist season of the excellent podcast It Could Happen Here by Robert Evans. It’s from 2019 but wildly prescient

This is very much a situation where they sure as shit ain’t our allies but if ICE wants to make an enemy of the police I’m not gonna stop that mistake

We’re already in the first throes of the Second American Civil War, we just haven’t started calling it that yet

Edit: throws to throes because I’m a dumb southern hillbilly

You’re 100% right, those are our circuses, even your namesake loved football. If the NFL and college football stopped overnight there would be a lot of pissed off poor people with nothing to do on the weekends and nothing to look forward to during the workweek. The rage would boil over much more quickly than most would expect

Porque no los dos?

It’s fucking wild to me that he’s still sharp as he is, especially when in juxtaposition to Biden and fuck face

I grew up in a close enough to her district that my hometown might get gerrymandered into it at some point. This is the correct take, and I say that because of how many women I know from the area that are exactly the same. Not the sharpest tools in the shed, hell I’d say among the dullest, but they believe in protecting children above all else.

I don’t like Greene one bit and generally think she’s a bad person, but she does believe in something, which is more than I can say for Trump who only believes that he should have power

Fucking hell I’m in a world where Hitler was demonstrably less of an egomaniac than the president of the United States

Always had been
