      Washington’s governor has stated that women and trans rights will be upheld against the federal government’s policies. It’s not fleeing, because we’re fighting.

        Him and what financial army? US discrimination is insidious because it’s mostly done financially. For example most gender-affirming healthcare is not covered by insurance so you have to be in big debt or already rich just to survive.

Like Drump said about egg prices, “shut up!”. From the douche lord himself!

        I once camped at a hick RV park on a lake. One of the RV’ers had erected a flag pole that had an American flag and below that a flag that read, “WELCOME TO THE SHIT SHOW.”

        I think those flags should always fly together.

          You guys should build a wall.

          Seriously, don’t even let me in. It would just be a matter of time before I fuck something up

    Long overdue. America should’ve been added to a human rights watch list decades ago.

    Great. I love that for us. I always said they’d let you keep your guns as a distraction and dismantle all your other rights right from under your nose

      Yep… And of course the guns you get to keep are water guns compared to the firepower the gov and military get to own. Your desert eagle hangun vs the Apache helicopter with huge canons and guns and missiles …

        While the “Who would win Batman or Superman or US army” posturing is interesting to some…I have been finding fewer and fewer reasons to expect a military confrontation.

        We saw one during the George Floyd protests - Trump sent the National Guard to quell protestors. It…didn’t do much, and the Guard sort of stood around, acknowledging free speech.

        I have also read testimonials from those in the Army - while it is true that the (incompetent) very top new leadership, and many grunts are die-hard MAGA, the vast majority of the leadership structure is disciplined and educated in the constitution. There’s supposedly already been briefings delivered on “DEI” subjects that indicates the officers are still very vocally in support of them, and they in turn are still loyally respected by their units. In short: An attack within America against Americans would feel blatantly against what most of them stand for.

        ICE, on the other hand, is a fringe set of whackjobs - and thankfully they’re mostly cowards that only accomplish much by stealing in and out like burglars.

          Anyone on here who shouts for civil war or revolution has never watched 2 dozen Apache helicopters approaching them ready to go. Normal, untrained, unequipped citizens stand no chance. It’s either going to be a bloody resistance, think northern Ireland, or guerilla war, think Vietnam.

          Or, any coup against the US gov would need to get the military aligned against current structures… That also leads to a military controlled gov…think burma.

          No of these are good options unless you are facing extreme circumstances with no other hope

    …along with Italy (I am Italian and I support this due to our fascist government acting, well, fascist), Serbia (no shit), Pakistan (I am ignorant about this one) and the Democratic Republic of Congo…

    …how is the DRC not in that list since forever, seriously!?!
