It’s cute watching liberals fantasize about Civil War II and the aftermath with Nuremberg II. This fantasy takes place in a West Wing la la land where they’ll legally own Orange Man so hard he pees his diaper and surrenders.
Do they not remember the Little Rock Nine when National Guard troops switched loyalty overnight? From following state orders to block black students from attending school to being federalized and commanded to escort and protect them. The outcome was good, but it just shows the troops only listen to whoever has the legitimate authority at any given moment.
Best case scenario is that these guys refuse to follow federal orders to actively engage in combat against the state, but they’ll also refuse to fight Trump’s forces as well. I also don’t see why Sgt. Bubba at the local police department, who believes fentanyl can kill him over his phone screen, will want to violently resist Trump’s forces.
this shit is so hilarious… all these big 2nd amendment guys and their big gun talk who shrivel like cowards in the time they’re actually needed to do the thing they said they’d do all along
I don’t think they shriveled though. Anyone obsessed with the second amendment most likely supports everything going on, doesn’t care, doesn’t like it but also thinks conservatives being in power is worth it, or a crank asking ChatGPT how to lure soldiers to his basement
The right’s obsession with guns and insurgency against the government comes from the fact that they support all these oppressive measures abroad and domestically. They are afraid of the boomerang coming back home but don’t know what to do in that situation outside of vague ideas of resistance. They believe the Taliban and Vietnamese soldiers were just “poor farmers in sandals,” scoff at the fact the US got defeated by them, and still cite Afghanistan and Vietnam as reasons why they (the lone wolf) can take on the government. They have a fundamental misunderstanding of their past enemies’ organization which will get them killed because they think any schmuck with a gucci AR can win.
It’s not about resistance to them but being a cowboy of their little domain (lawn).
Yeah you’re right. I guess it was wishful thinking on my part that some of these people would be actually decently good people somewhere deep down.
By the time they feel attacked to the point where they want to use those guns it’ll already be over.
