    They can’t even stick to their own rhetoric. Dem commentators calling Trump Hitler and then going out golfing with him is everything wrong with the party and media.

    I fear 2028 is going to be Dems deciding that they were just too “woke” and running Liz Cheney for president.

      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.

        It has happened here I’m afraid. Listen to this poster. Get armed and train. Take classes. If you’re in a big city there’s probably a SRA group to train with. If you’re not, like me, you’re probably going to be dealing with Trump people at the range. Just wear plain clothes and don’t talk politics. You don’t even have to lie, just say you didn’t like either of them.

        The code word I learned from Behind the Bastards is municipal libertarian. It basically means anarchist, but the Trump people love the word libertarian and assume you’re somewhat on their side.

        Oh! And you can get wound vac supplies for a little bit of money to put in your kit. You could save the life of someone hit by a bullet.
