    it looks like the start of a civil war. i hope it doesn’t come to that, but it really looks like that’s where it’s headed.

      If we keep society together and martial law isn’t declared before midterms then we might be good. We might go to sweep them without a civil war. But should martial law be declared or we don’t get the midterms for whatever reason…

        Then it’ll fracture along state lines, ie states that have the wherewithal to stand up against the feds. Which if they don’t organize among themselves will be … California. Maybe New York. And the little ones will be steamrolled. Although I’d guess the purple states that insist on more autonomy and are more difficult to police (AZ, Colorado, Montana, Utah) will just sort of fly under the radar.

          I think states will still band together a bit. New england would probably stick together. California, Oregon, and Washington. All of the south, including Florida now, would stick together too.

      If only we were so lucky. Americans aren’t going to stop this themselves, the rest of us need to arm ourselves and prepare to defend each other
