I've been out of the plague zone for a while, and even better I'll be on a planned vacation starting on the 1st so I'll be chilling in a cabin watching the fireworks from afar.
On the other hand Republicans are always dead-set on leaping into the beast after a win and prying defeat from victory.
They are Dems, so no shot.
Pretend racism against the Irish and Italians is a national pastime and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Probably the closest we'll ever be to Trump tweeting #GamerGate
Of course, although I don't know if it's going to work that well this time considering the views on law enforcement have drastically shifted. The amount of damage bodycams have done to the EBT community is catastrophic.
Joke government. We need kiwies to take over streets and government buildings with arms right now! Walk hand in hand with trannies. Total revolution. As a CoD lover this shit cannot stand! Fuck Trump! fuck Halo! REVOLUTION NOW
He shouldn't bi partisan anything. He's holding all the cards. The funniest thing is he is the one person that I believe would keep the government shutdown for the next year and a half until the midterms take effect.
They will be shocked by how well it polls if Trump does the correct thing and has the national guard start ventilating rioters. Think of the cost reduction to the budget that one well placed burst of 5.56 can achieve.
oh yeah I remember how trump did that in 2020……
he was funded by many of the same people that funded JEB!'s campaign in 2016.
He was essentially an open attempt by rnc leadership to co-opt trumpian populism
Yes.
lol, not even close. the late 60s and early 70s were really really bad. Here's just a touch of it for you.
| Year | Estimated Number of Incidents | Key Examples | Casualties & Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1967 | 150+ (major wave) | Detroit (43 deaths, 7,200 arrests); Newark (26 deaths, 1,000+ arrests); 50+ other cities (e.g., Chicago, Rochester) | 83 total deaths; $100M+ in damage; "Long Hot Summer" prompted Kerner Commission report blaming systemic racism. |
| 1968 | 110+ (assassination-related) | Washington, D.C. (1,000+ fires); Chicago; Baltimore; 100+ cities affected | 46 deaths; 21,000 arrests; largest peacetime military deployment in U.S. history. |
| 1969 | 20–50 (declining) | York, PA (racial clashes); smaller urban flare-ups | Fewer deaths; shift toward organized protests (e.g., Alcatraz occupation by Native Americans). |
| 1970–1971 | 10–30 (scattered) | Jackson State killings (1970); smaller anti-war riots on campuses | Minimal widespread riots; focus on Vietnam protests (e.g., 500,000-person march in D.C., 1971). |
| Total (1967–1971) | ~300–400 major events (subset of 700 overall) | Nationwide urban focus | 300+ deaths; 50,000+ arrests; long-term economic decline in affected Black neighborhoods. |
There is going to be a battle for the soul of the party after trump, after Vance at the latest. similar to the struggle William Jennings Byram fought (and lost) for control of the Democratic Party
personally, 10-20 percent. I think they are married to this shutdown, and i'll be SHOCKED if it doesn't last into at least early november. Gonna have to see how it shakes out next tuesday (couple tight elections that night) and the dems might feel emboldened if they sweep va/nj. then again who knows, I could just be wrong, as i'm sort of retarded.
