So how long do you give it before the MAGA party, and the folks who feel they got screwed out of office, just say “fuck it”, declare they have nothing to lose, get their affairs in order, and decide to take up arms against the country that feels wronged them and declared them both an enemy and the great Satan if their time?
When things get worse. Like I and others have said, revolutions don't happen when people still have it very good. We'd need a lot more years like 2020-2022 (in both economics and election fraud) before people actually revolted. For instance, just look at Romania. It took a decade of horrible economic conditions in the 80s (which itself came after the 70s when their leader decided to transform the country into the North Korea of Europe) before the people told the government to fuck off and started stringing up politicians.
Stop quasi-fed posting, you fucking dumbass.
The systems in Ohio and Florida were obviously corrected to the point where Democrats can't pull their bullshit and win. That obviously needs to be applied to Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania and then stuff like this won't happen again. I don't know why Georgia didn't get shit in order. They pretended like they did, but it wasn't enough. Maybe Kemp will redeem himself if the run-off isn't another shit show.
Describing how revolutions work isn't a fedpost.
That's not what you said last week. You said repeatedly that election fraud on a large scale doesn't exist.
Federalize the NG of State A, Send them overseas on a "humanitarian" mission. They're now out of the way in a way they can't/won't lead to them telling the feds to fuck off. But that "you can't federalize" us thing wouldn't happen in the first place because the NG is still part of the military and they do, in fact, take the lawful order thing pretty seriously.
Send them overseas to do what where? The U.S. isn't embroiled in any overseas conflict right now, and attempting to purposely do so would only destroy whatever support the government had left at this juncture. One of the reasons people support Ukraine is because the U.S. government isn't fighting the conflict itself. And you don't just federalize an entire state's national guard and send them overseas. The U.S. didn't do that during any of its past conflicts. They utilize rotating deployments from different states. An attempt to do that would only raise even more of a stink. Federalizing a state's national guard is a last resort, mostly to deal with issues within the state itself.
This woke shit is overblown. The real reason why people are getting out is because the juice (the benefits, the pay, etc) is no longer worth the squeeze (working and living conditions, time away from family and home, etc). The military has become increasingly hostile to any kind of work-life balance that, even in the height of the Cold War, was present prior to 9/11. The military has been relying on "do more with less" and "optimal manning" for the past thirty fucking years and it has just led to burnt out servicemen who no longer see any benefit in staying in. People join to serve, but it's hard to see past the bullshit when you're on a pointless deployment in the middle of the ocean on your third deployment extension with no end in sight, when the only thing matters to the chain is the bureaucratic check-in-the-boxes. That covers, I would say, most of why people are getting out in droves. Things have gotten increasingly difficult in the past twenty years to maintain a constant warfooting, and without any sort of adventure/drive of a Middle Eastern Campaign, the "warfooting in garrison" dumbshit is not fucking worth it.
As long as they have their TV, their ubereats and enough money.
That’s more of the Democrat leaning deterrent, but okay.
The Republican party is spineless. The "LibErAls BtFoEd" sthick is old and done for. liberals dominated the art & education sectors for 40 years and NOW they have something to say.
This is literally why I carry a steel cane (other than that I have leg and ankle problems on one side that flare up at times) that I affectionately refer to as "Sumner's Revenge".
They won't. The problem is those people have demonstrated they simply don't have the capacity for rebellion. These are people who don't care enough about the future of society to lay down their lives for it. They don't want a better future for everyone, they just simply want to live out their lives in peace. They think they'll be able to just move out into the country and raise their chickens and that these politicians will never be a problem to them ever again. I guess that's why Sloth is a sin. But hey, those 80,000 IRS agents were just to make sure the rich was paying for their fair share. Right? Right??????
While I understand the optimism I also understand this. Americans at the moment know something is up but right now they're not sure. With the current administration they have a lot of power but these people do not have ALL the power. If these people had ALL the power they would have thrown conservatives in camps for misgendering them.
Yes there is probably some fortification going on but at one point the system will break. Though they probably learned from the commies: don't post victories in the 99%'s Show "fair" results. Oh and let them elect brain dmamaged or even dead people. Fucking hell
So long as the MSM is firmly left-wing, they’ll cry wolf over the supposedly imperiled democratic process indefinitely. They need an enemy.Just a thought: how often do you think the phrase "Our democracy is in danger" will work? I mean I find it fascinating that amid price hikes, rising crime rates, a complelty dysfunctional goiverment with a pedo at it's head can still mobilize so many voters (yes voters. The people who voted were a lot and it seemed more then 201
