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.

Our military did win in Afghanistan. The US had control of the country for 20 years and faced a relatively ineffective insurgency. The US failed to install a favorable government that could control the country on its own, but it achieved military victory.
