It wasn’t just that they had guns. It’s that they stood there armed, watching people get arrested, and started reading rights. It’s not enough to have guns, you need to use those guns as an implicit threat while brazenly not only following the law, demanding the cops do so as well

Because EA wanted bioware to make an mmo, but bioware wanted to make kotor 3

Oh, ones like feeding the hungry, pacifism, and being kind to immigrants and foreigners?

I want a Honda fit but electric. Or something similar. I don’t need more car and neither do most people

Crimew?

I’ll try to assimilate and attempt to not make too much small talk with the neighbors, if I end up up there, but I am midwestern so I’m probably not going to be able to quit the stuff entirely. We may be annoying, but we’re almost as handy as Germans, so y’all should be able to learn to live around a few of us.

Me too. And if I wasn’t fleeing Ohio I’d be looking at buying a house here. Not a big one but there are decent small houses in the suburbs that are affordable as an engineer on a single income if you save aggressively. Instead I’m spending my down payment on moving to the west coast.

And the airports

They know who the trans legislator is. This is a specific personal attack

They really want to ensure none of us attempt to enter government again

I don’t see people opposing maga while flying swastika flags. Funny how I do see a bunch of supporters of it doing so

They’re jokes until they aren’t.

Those who wish to bring slavery back are welcome to live as slaves. Those who wish fo mass deportation are welcome to get the fuck out. Those who wish for reeducation camps to attempt to change people’s orientation are welcome to be subjected to it.

I met a professor of engineering named Dr Doom once, I think he’d make a fitting surgeon general for trump. Unqualified and ominous

You absolutely can. All you need is to be an engineer or other highly skilled professional or a tradesperson who works a ton of overtime and live in a low cost of living area on a tight budget and save for a decade

As an American, imagine understanding that, having the data for it with socialized healthcare, and constantly dealing with your country just deciding that it isn’t true because taxes will go up (even though they may no even go up much, the government pays out the ass for the uninsured who wait until it’s an emergency rather than getting preventative care). Committing to mass public transit would save time when you need time saved and make everything cheaper because we wouldn’t need parking spots. So much inefficiency but they’ve decided that government means inefficient and that government inefficiency is stuff like science and welfare.

New Orleans though. It’s probably the most important port in the country

Carried by Florida and Louisiana.

The United States has 4 significant maritime features: the Atlantic coast, the pacific coast, the Great Lakes (sometimes called the north coast), and the Mississippi which is a river that is able to stand next to the Amazon and Nile, but is surrounded by arable and hospitable land.

For the Atlantic coast the major ports are largely in the northeast, florida, and Louisiana. They’d be able to build up South Carolina I’m sure, and if they need to can probably build up Alabama and Mississippi. But no real issues because they’d have Florida and New Orleans.

The Pacific coast is California, Oregon, and Washington( with its major ports being some of the bluest cities in the country. Though the non contiguous states are both pacific, but alaska swings and is contrary and Hawaii is blue and in the middle of the ocean. That’s irrelevant though because they’re accessed by air and sea. They get nothing there snd would rely on the Panama Canal.

The Great Lakes are a blue region. Michigan swings, as does Wisconsin, but the bluest part of Ohio aside from Columbus is the northern coastline (obviously especially Cleveland), the bluest region of Indiana is their northern coastline, and every other Great Lakes state is either blue or swing. And thanks to canals the Great Lakes allow for goods to be sent to the ocean, but it’s through the northeast so in a hostile situation Indiana and Ohio are basically landlocked. I imagine because of that Wisconsin and Michigan would go blue. It’s just too advantageous to not (similar to Kentucky and Maryland in the civil war)

The Mississippi is where they’d thrive. Louisiana is a major hit to the blue states here, the Mississippi is one of our country’s best economic features, and they’d be getting most states that border it, which doesn’t matter because they’d also be getting the outlet. The trumpistani economy would more or less be entirely dependent on it. And blockading the Mississippi is not only an obvious thing to do if civil war, it’s something the north did in the last one

Did not expect the distribution to be like that, especially with blue states having nearly as many as red and swing states combined. For anyone curious: Blue state nukes-4324 Red state nukes-2266 Swing state nukes-2454

Washington really surprised me but it makes a lot of sense actually. I knew there were none at Wright patt because you learn that growing up in Dayton, they can’t risk the aliens.

And yeah I knew albequerque is one of the most critical cities for our ability to project nuclear force and that we make and test them in New Mexico and that Colorado is home to norad command. I just had also thought there were some hidden in Appalachia in upstate New York or something or one of the other eastern mountain ranges

Also how long before an invasion? They’re fascists, fascists don’t sit still while experiencing consequences, they invade

Aren’t the nukes in Montana and the dakotas? Though I’m under the impression we also keep some silos in the rural northeast.
