    That’s what these fascists want tho. They want a violent uprising to create a state of emergency. All we need to do is be peacefully against their bullshit. I hold no doubt that Trump will kill US citizens with drones. Given the chance on us soil. So I will go the full anti-aggressive stance. I will use my words but in no way create a threatening position. I’m simply going to vote them out in less than 2 years now. It’s already been nearly 6 months since the election. 18 more till the next. We can make it. There’s a limit what the senate can get passed. Unless the GOP upends senate rules. There’s limits to what permanently can be done. And they are focused on taxes now. Next year. Who knows what they will push through reconciliation next year. But this year is only Tax breaks. So again there’s really limited approaches that can be accomplished. By these fools. But there’s plenty of damage to the federal work force. That is being done. But I hope the courts can stop that.

      I’m sorry to say but that’s delusional. 18 more months of the current program and the US is likely ungovernable. DOGE is dismantling the bureaucracy, rendering its institutions useless right now. It will be extremely hard even to undo the damge done so far, rebuilding the IRS, USAID, NOAA, EPA, etc.

      The head of Project 2025 let out this, in July of last year:

      We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be.

      – Kevin Roberts

        And I doubt they will be able to start their little revolution. The courts are fighting back. People are getting their jobs back. There is balance forming. We just have to be patient till the next election. I’m not all doom and gloom because I have hope for my nation.

      They are declaring states of emergency left and right, just because last year 2kg of fentanyl was intercepted at the border or something like that. The don’t need any excuse to wipe their ass with norms, rules and regulations.

      Sorry mate, but it’s too late.

      Even if you protest peacefully, your chances of getting hurt are still very high. That’s kinda the way these things usually happen. So I’ll just ask you this: Would you rather go down holding a sign or next to a burning building? lol You’ll be a terrorist either way, what with Trump blanket labeling protests as illegal.

      Also: The police are already armed like the military. We’re already at the full scale escalation. They have weapons you paid for, and they’re ready to use them on you. Just think about how regular every day cops make shit up so they can have a little fun. It’s over homie.

      Get a gun before you can’t.

        To be honest. I can still vote for now. So I don’t see so much doom. When I can not vote. Then I will be concerned.

        And a friend in the military also reminded me of something. When they start shooting people. They have to remember that the public. Generally normal people. Will find their homes. And citizens in a guerrilla operation. Have a lot more freedom of operation than a person with an army unit or police force. If they want to start a civil conflict. I doubt there will be peace for the people carrying out the orders. I wouldn’t be surprised if their homes burn to the ground with or without them in it. Because that’s how ready a certain portion of the population is. Not me. But certain groups of well trained folks.
