    That is always the first thing I notice every time I see a video of these clowns. They are REALLY bad at this shit. The amount of times you see like one dude just wander away from his backup with his eyes on his phone is fucking hilarious. The only reason these guys aren’t getting blown away every day is because no one is trying to.

      …yet

      It’s gonna be a scary time when American citizens have had enough and actually start pushing back.

        I’m rather surprised at the audacity of leaders, thinking they can contain the chaos they are stoking. I suppose Iran and Gaza may give them hope, but I think they are way too confident in the propaganda machine despite its successes to date.

        Perhaps our best chance of spurring change without careening into civil war is to encourage folks to move to battleground states. That’s what I did during term 1.

          That’s not possible at the scale needed to actually make a change before this election. Maybe by 2028 that could help a little but it’s not viable as a solution now.

          The regime is trying to stoke a violent response to declare martial law to shut down elections completely. That’s always been Stephen Miller’s whole plan. They’ve done so much heinous shit to get to this point, that they aren’t going to just let themselves be voted into facing consequences. They’re going down swinging, full-fascist violence.
