Prison labor will maintain it. Have you been to the border states before?

Its not actually, I just said in the end, she had to produce and she didn’t. I blame the media the most, but they’re just the propaganda arm of the oligarchy.

That was some fairly Machiavellian maneuvering that pair openly displayed at the end, the moment we all realized that we were unwitting players in a ruse, the dance and the show before the coronation

"America will do the right thing, right after it’s tried everything else*

Buddy, I don’t disagree with you, I actually vehemently agree with most everything here BUT you still gotta beat the spread. You got to play the game better than the refs. All the nuance in the world doesn’t matter, you still gotta deliver and Harris didn’t.

You’re right, climate doesn’t care. But neither do the fascists. They want the wall, and they want it armed along the entirety with the 3 trillion rounds of ammunition the army has in stockpile.

Appx 180million people from Panama to Mexico. That’s leaves just under 300k bullets per person.

Do you really think America ISNT that cruel, that evil? After yesterday? That’s the plan. I’d bet entire maternity wards on it.

Because while we were all shut inside during the pandemic, that he exacerbated no less, with nothing to do but watch screens, enough of us didn’t get a good idea of what Trump was?

We know. We just don’t care.

All people care about is that life is more expensive, everybody’s doing worse and no one is doing anything about it. But Trump, somehow after 4 years in office, is still seen as NOT a politician and Trump says he’ll fix it and bring them along. Democrats are milquetoast corporate shills. Which means they’re all PC, HR doublespeak. They’re liars. Or ineffective, and what’s the difference in the end? Republicans might be draconian, but they tell you what they want and they’ll twist every rule to get there. They’re predictable. That’s the known evil.

These voters don’t care if everyone else suffers, as long as their group does better. It’s literally us vs them, come fuck-all. It’s not complex. Their survival comes first, then their prospects, then their comfort. And they’ll sell everything out to get those 3; the climate, our allies, the rule of law, even family that isn’t with the program…

I second this. Same story. I’ve been up on politics since I was 16, so mid 90s.

This is the death of Neoliberalism. That’s what we’re witnessing, it’s just the corporate financiers don’t realize they aren’t going to weather it very well yet.

The Make America Great Depression Again will kick off before midterms, right before we invade Mexico. Expect the military to be used against us on our soil 3rd or 4th year and then we’ll enter our troubles.

It’s all so super predictable. I fucking hate it.

Just remember, when the lights go out, point your guns at the only ones who still have theirs on cuz they did this.

Blue states will produce the ranks that make up DARPA, NASA, NORAD, Navy/Air Force pilots, Space force

Red states will fill the ranks on the front line of the Army, Marines, ICE, BP and Coast guard.

Not much different than today actually.

I was thinking about this earlier, if Harris comes out on top, violence is to be expected. They’ve already barricaded up the white house, Harris’s house and the capital building - just cuz of all the voting that’s taking place at none of those places.

If another insurrection is planned, and we all know there has to be a couple plans floating around various rougher elements, what do they think they’re going to do? Especially against Biden, who willingly abdicated power, but in the face of a coup and newly emboldened by the supreme court, do we really think Biden would look at the situation and capitulate? Or would he bear the cross, do some unspeakables, pull killdozer out of storage, light 'er up and tian’anmen square the insurgency? Surrender or hold the union together like Lincoln? Lincoln, Washington, Roosevelt, that’s his peer group not Gingrich, McDonnell, or Boehner. Biden would assess another insurrection from that perspective.

Another attempted coup, against a ready and reinforced national guard, would be fucking suicide. Some schmuck voice actor might think he’s real tough with a grenade launcher - until the Blackhawks and Bradley’s roll out.

Does the national guard have an A-10 over there? God I hope they do. That’s just the kid in me, growing up playing Contra, watching A-team, Platoon, Hamburger Hill and Full Metal Jacket. The sound of the A-10 and seeing one fly over the capital strafing a coup. That’d just be to too much for me. I might stroke out right there.

To build the concentration camps to hold all those people.

The cost of deporting all those people will bankrupt the country, not to mention grind our judicial system to a standstill for DECADES.

It’s literally the dumbest thing that’s ever come out of his mouth, besides that broken microphone I guess
