All just because Cuomo lost to a progressive candidate. Americans, please be fully aware what lengths Trump is willing to take for total control
Must, absolutely must, arm yourselves. Join local militias, self-defense forces, neighborhood Patrol forces, or whatever you call them in your area. Got to prepare.
Yup.
If you even dabble in history you know that the best time to purchase firearms and start training was yesterday. The second best time is today.
This is not alarmist shit. We have crossed some serious thresholds already. Fascism is absolutely here. If enough American citizens make it clear we’re ready to use our 2nd amendment right as originally intended, then we can potentially make them fear enough for their safety to limit their fascist actions before things get really dark.
Because if we don’t, then this continues spiraling and a lot of people are going to die and it’s going to take a lot longer for things to get back to normal.
Again, this is not doomsaying. This is real shit. Pick up a history book. We’re already well down the path. The Germans didn’t think it was getting too serious until it was too late.
Arm yourselves. Help your friends and family arm themselves. Train with them. Put pressure on your state-level politicians to create a state militia.
It can, and will, happen here if we don’t push back.
yeah… all the militias in my area are magat infested circlejerks filled with the dough boys or neo-nazis that religiously larp their squeal team six fantasies.
the only benefit would be the hotwife couples that you could meet but even then the various amounts of VD you would be exposing yourself to would make the endeavor worthless. you’d be safer picking up a prostitute. at least then you wouldn’t have to listen to hours of brainless fox news propaganda just for fifteen minutes of mediocre sex.

Even more reason to get with like-minded people and create a militia.
I bet there are more leftists militias and defense groups than you’d think. If somehow there arent then you should look into creating one.
As a resident of Washington state, I really wish these articles would include D.C. when they refer to the country’s capital. This time, they are referring to D.C.
It’s a city named Washington which is the most relevant to US politics so it kind of makes sense.
Yes, but it’s easy to confuse with the state when “D.C.” isn’t included.
The apoplectic establishment reaction to Mamdani is not about the evil of affordable housing or solving food deserts. It is suggesting arrest of Netanyahu.
States and cities are under fire from federal Republicans that either must resort to higher taxes on some people, or significantly increase desperation levels that will increase crime, and validate more the needs for fascist takeovers of cities/states that don’t fund anti-desperation programs.

It kind of is that too, its a real slippery slope where if people see someone with some fairly mild goals actually improve the lives of the people they have sworn to represent, other people might ask for it in their states. Cant have the people seeing value in a government representing them, how would u be able to balance that while continuing to let the corporations you really represent keep no lube fucking them to death?
He’s going to attempt to do it unless somebody fucking stops it.
For anyone still unsure, it is time to purchase weapons and start training. I don’t care what episode of Real Housewives of Whatever is on this week. It’s time to arm up and accept the reality that you may actually need to take up arms against your government if things continue on the track we’re on. You don’t want to be caught behind the curve on something like this.
Sure. That 1911 will sure help against that V-22 dumping Marines on your front lawn.
Assuming the V22 doesn’t dump itself on your lawn of course. 😋
Hey! Free parts!
Those marines that couldn’t defeat the Taliban?
We only had twenty years though. Another ten and we would have done it for sure, bro.
While I have my own comments to the contrary elsewhere, I’m also in agreement that everyone should arm, which is also contrary to me 8 months ago. The military aren’t cyborgs and hopefully wouldn’t kill their own people, other countries would step up if our country truly tried to kill us, and if we dropped a nuke on ourselves, everyone’s dead across the planet anyway.
The numbers don’t look good, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to live and be free, if we can’t escape. Even escape isn’t an end, per se, if the evil spreads, it will eventually be everywhere, and no nation will be safe. Might as well destroy the cancer before we need chemo.
Thats not how it works.
How does it work? Is there like a website or something?
The US lost in both Vietnam and Afghanistan because occupation is hard. There isn’t an army on the planet that can even come close to taking on the US military in open combat, but insurgencies are a completely different animal.
Social media and AI mass surveillance might make a difference, but I kinda doubt it.
I don’t think this is where we are headed, but it wouldn’t be an automatic win for the military. Unfortunately, the people who end up in charge after an uprising usually end up being worse than the people they replace.
insurgencies are a completely different animal
They may not be able to occupy an entire city (without bombing it to the ground) but when they come knocking at your door, if you insurge you’re likely dead.
Cool that will work great in new York city… I am sure they will be able to kickdown all the doors in an orderly manner.
You Americans always skip to shootouts for some reason. You went from “I don’t have stamps at home so I am skipping voting this decade” to fantasising about shootouts with police real fucking quick, skipping millions way more useful and way more non-community-destructing ways to resist, as if resistance isn’t the point, but dying “glorious” death is.
“Skip to” isn’t quite fair, because the million things that can be done need to be done by tens of millions of people, and not everybody has those opportunities. So for some, “Guess I’ll get a gun while I still can,” is just the next thing they can do after voting and protesting and calling and writing and donating and speaking, because we’ve been taught for a long time that that’s how these things go and the best defense is being armed.
And even beyond that, saying “You Americans” as though we’re all a like-minded group is as silly as assuming that everyone is from the US.
not everybody has those opportunities
Everyone has a bunch of opportunities between doing nothing and “here I go killing again”. Everyone. But (and yeah, I’m engaging in generalisations, but you’re not beating the allegations so to speak) “you Americans” always put “I need to start shooting people” waaaay up high on the hierarchy or possibilities.
Goomba fallacy.
Is it a fallacy if every galoomba is saying the same exact shit.
They’ve got their Revolutionary Guard Corps now, so your best hope now is probably for Baron Greenback to choke on his own tongue or something and then the rest of the regime tear each other apart over control.
So, to my fellow Americans in NYC, how are those gun laws working out? That’s a smartass question, but more seriously, what will you do when the Gestapo comes rolling down Flatbush Avenue?
I’ll never find it again, but a few years ago jihadis went rampaging down the streets in Iran, randomly shooting into apartment blocks. All I could think was, “At least that can’t happen here.”
They’re going just about as well as they are everywhere else in the US, barring that one guy in Texas that got killed opening fired on a Border Patrol facility the other day. Before you get too snarky, let’s have some examples of the folks in states that always have a hard-on for gun ownership who are actually proving what you’re implying here? Oh, the good gun-owners generally aren’t rising up, but those states are actually welcoming the Gestapo with open arms, since they voted for this? What a surprise.
Keep on living in your fantasy world that the 2nd Amendment bros are going to actually get off their asses and do something about it. Other than cheering it on, that is.
I’m from Texas, and if I had a nickel for every responsible gun owner I know I’d have $0.00.
Fuck the mods!
Violence will be the only correct response if this is done.
Actively overturning an election bc the other party won, is a call to remove those in charge by any means.
Yup.
If he went through with this it would be an act of war on the American people. At that point lethal force would be justified.
Can someone list which laws he would break if he did this?
Laws don’t apply to him.
both because he is legally allowed to break the law, and even if anyone tries to sue him to stop, the supreme court will end the knee and alow it.
there’s no rule of law in the US.
asking what law he broke is 100% irrelevant.
This is dementia ramblings.
They could have asked him about cheese and I bet he would’ve talked about doing a tremendous job at making cheese grate again.
making cheese grate again
I’d bet bigly yuge that Trump is incapable of that gouda pun.
He’s basically already invaded LA. Don’t know why people think this is unbelievable.
This is dementia ramblings.
Whether it is or not, are you willing to risk spending the rest of your life in an authoritarian state?
Trump is a fucking idiot. The people behind him are not. We’re already way further down this path than we should be. Every dipshit thing he says needs to be taken extremely seriously.
