Hey troops. How's it feel being political show cattle?
- Same as it ever was
  Same as it ever was
  Same as it ever was
  
  Can we go back to calling them baby killers? Im tired of jacking off anyone in a uniform post 9-11.
- War, war never changes.

Oh wow, so we're just doing away with constitutional rights? Freedom of speech and assembly is being tested. Do not give them an inch, otherwise it will take generations to get it back.
- This is already the "taking a mile" phase.
What a surprise old "Pull up the ladder" Abbott is bowing before his king even asks. What sad state of affairs America has become, ready and eager to give up freedom to a self titled king for lols at half the country. Pathetic, traitorous buffoonery is just expected at this point. Tots and pears.
@tonytins
Seriously?? What the actual fvck. Red governors are going to usher in civil war.
I imagine Trump ate this up.
- These guys have been craving for another civil war since Trump’s first term.
  
  These guys are the progeny of those who have been itching for a civil war since The New Deal. The Business Plot failed because Smedley Butler refused to play along. Then The John Birch Society failed after gaining some ground. Nixon courted Dixie racists with The Southern Strategy. Then Reagan came along and got Evangelicals and saw the rise of union busting. Prosperity Gospel messaging replaced loving thy neighbor. Then Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh ruled the 90s. Then Obama got elected and people’s brains broke and then shit ratcheted up even more. The right wing realized over the years that the only way they will stay in power is if they appeal to people’s worst impulses. They proliferate hate and fear. They are aesthetic with no substance creating a feedback loop to be exploited.
  
  These guys have been craving for another civil war since ~~Trump’s first term.~~ the last one. FTFY. :)
  
  @tonytins They have just been biding their time.
  It’s easy to see why we couldn’t abolish slavery by legislation. The hate runs deep and the greed is plentiful.
- This was in project 2025, none of them are surprised, it's literally the next step in the plan they showed us. It's too bad that document was 900 pages and took too long to make summaries of that people's attention span lapsed by the time they were available. If you want to stop being surprised, summaries have been available since within the week it was originally posted though.
  
  @Tarquinn2049 I reserve the right to be shocked and appalled. 😉
- *fuck. You can swear on the internet. Don't worry, we won't tell your mommy.
  
  @macawdeansettle Lol. I usually let the F bombs fall where they may.
- It'll work though too. People will show up. The most active protestors will be targeted and arrested. The rest will eventually go home and in a month we'll be on to the new thing.
  
  @MelvinFerd
  I must disagree. This travesty will not be easily moved on from. And the world assuredly won’t allow us to forget it.
"But muh free speech"
Well, if you're gonna "anticipate stuff" you might as well anticipate a prolonged war and just ask for a permanent presence right? While we're being presumption, and anticipating, ask for the soldiers to be quartered in your house...
Yank the chair out from under him. Seriously.
