We didn't defeat the Nazis the first time with strikes and boycotts. Don't get me wrong - do those things. But also get armed if you can. Guerrilla tactics will go a long way toward opposing a hostile government takeover.

Someone will come along with the sage advice that in arming yourself and resisting, "You'll die!" Yeah, I know. I'm not a fucking child.

We've been in a cold civil war for almost a decade. If it actually becomes a civil war you'll fucking know. And where are the unions? In my experience they're gatekeeping the 5% of jobs that pay decently to be given to their family members.

Jokes on them they're being replaced automation at a rapid pace. The only thing that works harder and cheaper than Chinese slave labor is a robot.

This red state vs. blue state thing is simple-minded thinking.

Mississippi is generally regarded as about as red as a state gets. Here's the 2024 election results by county.

And whatever you think of the military, they are sworn to uphold the Constitution, and they are very fucking serious about that. Nothing Trump has ordered has broken that vow, so far. The second that happens, and command goes along with it, I'm in the fight.

I have zero organizational skills, no idea how we group up, but I'd be glad to listen. Keep in mind though, this country stamps out left leaning orgs, not so much right wingers.
