Yep. But the people don’t learn. So I don’t give a shit unless there is civil unrest against that government.

That’s what they want. If ICE gets violently repelled in any substantial way tiny d will declare martial law and suspend voting. Otherwise midterms will decimate their control of Congress.

The People are doing an amazing job at resisting in ways that are both highly effective and don’t give him an excuse to tear down the constitution, and they should be supported not condemned given the hand they were dealt.

Weakens his narrative and gives states more of a casus bellum to ignore or even toss out feds should the time come. Woo end of empire politics ain’t it FUN. Why couldn’t we have gone out like the Hittites at least then I could stab strange people coming from the sea.

Should the time come.

I’m not angry at you but at this sentiment. When is the fucking time if not now?

Show threadvaultdweller013Nov 3
Oh I ain’t denying that it sucks ass, but there is a somewhat reasonable argument that can be made that just keeping what you can afloat and waiting for the feds to implode is the optimal strategy right now. It’s kinda like how the regional nationalist movements just kinda waited for the Soviets to implode towards the end. Not fun by any means and I personally disagree, I think the states should be black bagging the fuckers and shutting off utilities to their facilities. But open revolt is still at least a couple months away, kinda depends how long this shutdown goes on for and how economic effects manifest.

Otherwise midterms will decimate their control of Congress.

you are overestimating the reasoning skills and common sense of the average american voter. we’ll be lucky to flip even one chamber by a razor-thin margin.

I guess reducing by ten percent is a start.

It would be naive to expect any more given how gerrymandered and entrenched red states are. 10% would flip both the House and Senate and effectively render the last 2 years of this presidency moot.
