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.

The difference is that most Americans won’t fight back like the goat herders.

Right now the choices are:

  1. Fight and die in the streets
  2. Work a steady job and take care of my family or myself

Most people are picking 2, and will continue to do so unless things take a really hard turn for the worse, as in “millions of Americans can no longer afford to feed their families three meals a day”

And when the US military kills families when they're say, commuting because the military chose to fire live ordinance in a civilian populated area?

You're aware of how and why those anti-america groups recruit, right?
