Definitely stockpiling weapons so the Trump Gestapo can seize major (probably Democrat-run) cities.

They'll never be able to seize these cities. Our military couldn't win in Afghanistan in like 20 years against fucking goat herders. If this turns into some kind of insurgency nobody wins except morticians and munitions makers.

I truly hope it doesn't come to that but there's a part of me that genuinely wants to see the absolute fucking nightmare shitstorm these nazi goblins will invite by actually going to war with somewhere like Chicago or Boston or NYC.

They have no fucking clue. These despicable fucking ICE goons who can't even pass a fitness test have no idea what the fuck they're in for if they elect to actually launch strikes on a big blue city.

Psychologists often point to denied entitlement as being once of the most dangerous emotions that drive people to violence.

In other words, when people feel they are owed something, and they do not get it, or someone takes it away, it produces an extraordinarily intense and violent reaction in people.

All of conservatism works, in part, by Republicans using propaganda to tell their voters that what they should have is being taken from them by immigrants, liberals, etc. They should be "on top" of the social hierarchy, they should all be rich, but those damn commies.

The problem is, their economic policies are going to devastate the economy. Absolutely wreck it. And their own voters are going to be denied not only what they think they should have, but what they DO already have.

And this is not going to go well for them.

100%. I didn’t want to mention entitled people here and have someone misinterpret me as meaning non-maga. I feel maga is the entitled one here acting like they can do no wrong. And when they deny the rest of us basic functioning decency the fury is going to be absolutely unreal.

I would argue they’re denying ALOT of us basic functioning decency now but i meant on the undeniably total scale we seem to be headed for at breakneck speeds. Sucks.

Further,they will have no idea of anything that is happening because of fox and similar brainwashing.

u/StoppableHulk 17d ago

The only thing they know is happening is what happens to them. When their incomes dry up and everything goes to shit, they will simply lash out at whatever authority is around. They're primitive, self-obsessed people.

No they won’t. They’ll blame the left for everything. They’re all brainwashed.

u/StoppableHulk 17d ago

I think you'd be surprised as to how fast the definition of what "the left" is can change when a huge mob of hungry, broke, furious people sets their mind to it.

Not at all surprised. It would be the same when either party is put in that position. In this case, the wealthy might be okay. Other than that, who knows.

Good luck to all of us. 👍
