"Teach me," the hero said.

"Wait, what?" said the Evil Overlord.

"You're running a huge organisation. How do you align everyone's ideals?"

"You want your allies to share all your ideals?"

"Of course!"

"Well, we don't care about that. We can always betray each other later, after we've won."

PS: if things are a little jumbled, i apologize. I'm a little pooped out from No Kings today. On one final note i'm not going to lose sleep if we do this over any loyalists that might get got along the way. You no doubt are aware they have far worse plans for most of us down the way. It's fair odds some of us will be injured or worse ourselves. I'm willing to walk those risks though as a visible leader.
What we CANNOT afford is passivity. Who knows? The threat alone may keep the election clean.

2) Whatever your feelings are on firearms, know that your enemy doesn't give a shit about anything you have to say. They've already demonized you. But they will very much give a shit about risking personal life & limb coming after you. They want easy victims. Not hard opponents. If you're not armed already, you'd best change that doublequick. It doesn't have to be fancy. Shotguns are short range but offer some crowd control. Handguns are medium range & can pick off ringleaders in practiced hands

1) Things you need to know. Not just intellectually, but emotionally. Know as true in every fiber of your being if you have any survival instinct left to survive & perhaps even triumph over what's coming.
--Violence was inevitable the moment the bastard stepped back into the white house. Just square with that now. It'll make all the hard decisions coming later easier.
--Your enemy by their own overt admission for years now will always blame you, even long after they've murdered everyone like you

This is the shape, the form the second civil war will take. Not a war between states. A war between citizens. It is already underway. Only a matter of time before the general public takes advantage of public voting records to identify & eliminate their local rivals more directly...If covertly. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/minnesota-democrat-and-husband-killed-in-suspected-political-assassination/vi-AA21Mntw?ocid=socialshare#comments

I'd completely forgotten was on this platform until a appeal I filed a fucking year ago was finally denied a few days ago. Wild. I'll have to make a point wandering in more regularly. Anyone still following me and/or listening?

Are you
Are you
Are you here with me?
To run by my side so we can be free.
Strange things do happen here
It's the time to leave
If we met at midnight at the willow tree.

I wonder if tonight will be the night he declares martial law? Low odds. Maybe 10-15%. But still possible. Seems more likely he'll tee up an intentional collapsing situation that'll later justify it.

Maintaining Legitimacy: By operating within the framework of the constitution, the plotters aim to maintain a semblance of legitimacy and avoid international condemnation.

Any questions, class?
