    “Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil,” Vice President JD Vance said in a post on X Saturday night.

    Big yikes. “Insurrectionists”? Bloody hell.

        Conservatism was the original reactionary movement, and it essentially sought to restore the nobility within democracy, complete with the different rules applying to said ingroup. Modern conservatism only differing in the sense that its supporters really want to become part of said ingroup.

        It depends on how many people end up on the opposite side. Tens, hundreds, for sure. Thousands, likely. Tens of thousands, not so certain. Hundreds of thousands, I don’t know. If the army starts shooting to kill any significant numbers of Americans, things are going to get very interesting.

          Breaking through the mental wall for anti-2A liberals unfortunately only happens once it’s too late to get effective training, if it happens at all…

          A gun/gear group I know of recently tried to donate money to a charity for queer folks in the the south. The charity denied the donation because “they don’t take money from anyone who uses firearms for work” (paraphrased).

          Let’s take a moment to digest that.

            I recently got a small group of gay/trans/ally/hiking friends to a range and I think it’s going to be a more regular thing. I have a couple and another person had several, and the range does rentals. One of us (who’d never even fired a gun) has a small piece of property and they ended up trying/purchasing a little 10/22 to take out to their property to start trying to get some small game. I’m deep in the a red state though so convincing more on-the-fence/marginalized people to protect themselves isn’t hard given the right conversation.

            I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.

            The shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they’re controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people. One of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It’s really impossible to overstate how bad these people are and they’re winning.

            The coup was successful, they’re in power and if they don’t want to give it up they won’t.

            Get to know people in your community. Take an interest in growing food, learn how to fix things. Establish secondary lines of communication and start preparing.

      Threaten the 4th largest economy in the world with leverage you don’t really have. Encourage escalation tactics for illegal detainment of peoples under the jurisdiction and protection of the Constitution. Ignore the Constitution and normalize the absurd use of the term deportation. Cry about it on social media and then throw a fit and send troops to peaceful protests ( as per LAPD ).

      Frail ideology.

          No, they’ll keep escalating through next summer. By then, we’ll have had hyperinflation, food shortages, Luigi’s trial, deportations of naturalized/ birthright citizens, arrests of elected officials, etc. and things will get really ugly. That’s when the MAGA Nazis will have their Tiananmen Square moment, probably in multiple cities, and HitlerPig will declare Martial Law, and suspend the Midterm election for the first time in American history. That will protect his Congressional majorities, and keep the Democrats from gaining any investigative, subpoena, or arrest powers. Once elections are suspended, he’s president forever.

          THAT will be the end.

            Portland doesn’t control anything in the US. It’s not even among the top 10 cities. LA is a totally different deal.

            Even LA won’t mean the end of the government, but a military attack on one of the biggest cities in America is a enormous warning to the resistance that the MAGA Nazis are willing to do ANYTHING.

            If any other nation launched a military attack on LA, we would absolutely consider it an act of war, and if the MAGA Nazis use the military against American citizens exercising their 1st Amendment rights, ALL American citizens should also consider it an act of war against us by our own government.

                It can get much worse, and it will, if for no other reason than he intends to push the American people relentlessly until they do fight back. Then he can justify hurting them.

One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.*

        It was a big black unmarked truck full of black armor wearing soldier types hanging off the sides. I’m no expert on cop sightings but I’m pretty sure even they have their emblem on the sides of their heavy duty vehicles. Besides, isn’t it their MO nowadays to go everywhere wearing balaclavas without visible insignias or name tags?

      My only complaint (and I get to blame Regan) is that we can’t open carry here in Cali. That would help stop a lot of federal response if we had that capacity again.

      I’m not for destroying government property since that’s property that belongs to the people, but I also respect that change doesn’t happen with complacency. Plus if it was a peaceful protest for Jan 6ers then why is this not considered one?

      Every day I wish we didn’t have the current admin in charge since they lack capacity and bandwidth to take care of the real economic issues facing our generation and time.

      Completely agree though that the national guard is in control of the governor. Although I wouldn’t be surprised if Newsom agrees to bring them in if the feds kick in FEMA funding like they’re supposed to.

        Open carry would have stopped NOTHING.

        Flashing a gun at those GI Joe wannabes would have triggered their tiny brains to go into shoot to kill mode, and it would have been a massacre.

        These dimwits are trained for full blown military responses. That’s easy for them, they have the gear, the training, and the psychopaths to shoot on sight.

        What they can’t handle is massive civil disobedience, because they can’t arrest 100k, 500k, 1 million people who are out there lawfully protesting.

        But it’s nutjobs like you, or that moron who sped their car at the agents, who will fuck it up for everyone.

        Don’t bring your gun. Keep it at home, and if shit gets to the point where they start killing people, then defend yourself.

          You act like I’m advocating murder. I’m advocating letting the government know that we can also have weapons and fight back. That doesn’t make me a fucking nut job, it makes me someone who has read a history book.

          Civil disobedience has almost never worked, compared to armed disobedience. Even if those weapons are never fired. The point isn’t to go in shooting, it’s to get the military and police to back down and give the people what they demand.

          You’re advocating for us to all roll over and wait until this administration gives us what we’re politely but firmly asking for. Which will never happen. They live for a show of force.

          Keep holding your beliefs, it’ll be the last thing through your smug brain before the government executes you.

            Show them a gun and you better be prepared to pull that trigger the moment they see it, because you’re going to die.

            In a tense situation where there’s been some minor violence, a gun will immediately escalate things to a lethal level.

            Stick to what I said and don’t make up stuff in your head please. I’m not against forceful opposition - rocks fly, things catch on fire, barricades get erected.

            But don’t give them an armed conflict where they will 100% win, and much more easily spin it to fit their agenda.

            That’s exactly what the Hamas attacks did - those fucking morons opened the door and put down a red carpet for Israel to get away with launching a full out “justified” war.

          I disagree. They bring guns to scare us. To let the protestors know there are consequences.

          For them to deal with an armed populace let’s them know if they start shooting, they might catch a bullet. They have to face that real consequence and it scares them.

          Until that point, they pretty much know they don’t face ANY repercussions for ANY action they do.

          I’m not saying to start armed protests. But this isn’t “flashing A gun” it’s 50 or 100 people who could lay hundreds or thousands of rounds at or in them if they do start using their weapons. And it will scare them into second guessing whether their life is worth detaining a few potentially illegal immigrants.

            And, we outnumber them. Maybe not now with the amount of guns civilians own. But if the government starts shooting to kill random people at a protest. People will arm themselves and they will train themselves. The populace is a lot larger than police forces and military.

            I agree with your points.

            As someone who lived in Minneapolis during the “riots”, peaceful protest was instigated by police in order to arrest and get rid of the people in the streets. Then the police went to the news and said it turned into a riot. So many examples of police being instigators. Shooting sandbags at people in their homes, pepper spraying from their vehicles when people were walking down the street in cross walks peacefully, people beat further when on the ground bleeding. I imagine how the police would have acted if people were carrying. Would it have been a bloodbath? Or would they have been too nervous to do anything?

            They aren’t going to kill many unarmed protesters, especially initially. There’s a reason they stopped at 4 during the Kent state fiasco.

            Most of us will be fine and able to go home and plan for guerrilla tactics that have a better chance of survival later.

            Edit: decided to emphasize my point even though only one person apparently missed it.

              I love how you mention “they” aren’t going to kill unarmed protestors, and then proceed to mention a literal event in which they did. This country is founded on the government and corporations killing unarmed protestors.

                He never said they aren’t going to kill anyone.

                He said they aren’t going to kill many.

                Which is true, up until a bunch of people pull guns, and then they’ll kill everyone.

                  What’s the acceptable number of dead people before also showing you’re armed is acceptable? Is it 5? 10? Maybe 1000?

                  If you pull up with guns they may kill you, but you have a better fighting chance than not. Plus if you were already going to die, since you’re so kind to sacrifice some people, wouldn’t you rather take some of them with you?

                  You’re playing by a made up set of rules where you think you being more moral than them makes you superior but it makes you dead and a loser.

        National guard can be taken and commanded by the president. But when that doesn’t happen, it’s chief commander is the governor.

        The State Guard is solely under the command of the governor. It cannot have its control taken by the federal government. However, the state guard is often trained by the national guard and share membership.

        I only saw a few clips of the protest. Did the protestors cause destruction of property? It looked like they took a bunch of stuff from home Depot to make a barricade.

          I didn’t see much property damaged by protesters aside from ICE/DHS vehicles, but I did see numerous fires started by the munitions the nazis were using.

        Ya’ll shouldn’t need to open carry because you idiots in the US could have just voted for not insane leaders for decades. Always a bad solution to a problem ya’ll could have easily avoided.

          California did not vote for Donny Dumbass. Retaliation on blue states is part of the Trump agenda.

          (Though he’s pissed off a couple red states too)

            So many other places have figured how to at lesst not be as bad as the US, and they’ve also figured out how to stand up for themselves without firearms. US citizens are largely stupid cowards who will allow themselves to be sold for scrap so they can pretend that things are ok. There’s stupid and then there’s the US, the country with all the resources but not the two braincells to do anything with them. Ya’ll were fucked long before the propaganda and social engineering really took hold, and when it did those techniques came in playing on easy mode. The rest of the world looks at you amazed at how bad you are at everything and how you can’t even be bothered to at least be good people while sucking so bad.

            We have had to watch the US put up clear, articulate, and even energizing politicians only for them to never make it into power way too many times. We’ve had to watch even mediocre people lose to people so insane and that even Fox News can’t hide it. It’s wild how fucked that country is, and now some douche canoe is bitching that they aren’t allowed to open carry because of course that’s your fucking solution.

            Garbage country. Country of garbage.

              The UK seems to keep letting Boris do shit in government.

              AfD in Germany doubled their power in the last election.

              Duterte hit the scene in the Philippines before trump in the US.

              Italy just elected a far-right PM.

              The biggest mistake you can make regarding the conservative dipshit death cult in the US, is assuming that your fellow dumbass citizens aren’t vulnerable to the exact same rhetoric.

                Oh, the whole place is falling apart and US setting trends is a big part of that problem. Us in Canada should have done way better than we did last election, but even we managed to not do our usual flip-flop and barely scraped by not electing a massive piece of garbage who would have rolled over for Trump at every turn.

                Didn’t I also say “long before” in there? That Duterte comment lookin’ kinda like you either weren’t reading like you think Trump is where it started falling apart. Or you think 2010 is ancient and irrelevant history, maybe.

                  Ah, so you know first-hand what I’m talking about. All this shit going on in the US, and your populace just barely didn’t shoehorn themselves into a far right shithole.

                  The biggest mistake you can make, is thinking that it can only happen in the US.

            Voting in a imperialist empire is like fucking with a limp dick. Some just can’t see far enough ahead so they shame those who wake up and smell the coffee. Your voting record is one more data point in your non existent privacy rights. America is not a democracy but a fascist neolibturd dookie arse hell hole. Always has been… Orange man bad is getting old. Libturds are in such denile. I am 40 beegillion years old. During the beginning of iraq afgan era I paid close attention. I am never surprised. All is going to plan. It is a hierarchical class structure of dildos using dildos as the slaves watch the puppet show. Some are literate but lack class consciousness and critical thinking. This is just the beginning. Democrats are all fascist. You are in denile.

            He won with the popular vote the second time so congrats on just being objectively, verifiably, flat-out wrong, I guess. Plus it should not have even been close, even the first time when he didn’t win the popular vote. He has always given STRONG “weird fringe party guy” energy yet that dumbass country gleefully elected him or didn’t even show up because they didn’t find he was dangerous enough to do anything about. The opposition was a conservative who’s biggest selling point, after she tanked her own campaign by ignoring her base, was that she wasn’t Trump. Absolutely absurd.

            And I’m only slightly less pissed about my fellow Canadians only barely electing a centrist over a Trump dick-sucker. Again, a party that doesn’t even have real policies should not get any votes and yet is for some reason the main contender.

      Im not sure but I believe after 911, national guard units were deployed to Iraq (which had nothing to do with 911) by order of the president. I believe that if the president declares an emergency then they can use the national guards however they want.

      It would make sense if Congress were required in this decision making process but that would be out of character for a fascist criminal ring
