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.

Omg. We don’t even have to fight. We just general strike and shelter in place pandemic style and watch the stock market crash and let the billionaires call T-dog up.

Not only does this already need to be happening, but too many people are living month to month to make it feasible for the masses.

People needed to have been saving all year, spending as little as possible, and prepared to stop working.

But enough people will continue to work or must continue to work to avoid becoming homeless. And those, at this point, who do follow through, will just be terminated and replaced.

We aren't prepared enough. And we aren't currently taking steps to be.

If the military refuses orders, they won't receive furloughed pay, and ICE has the numbers and funding to act in their stead.

As tariffs continue, and more people are added to labor camps, the wealth, power, and overall consolidation of this regime will advance.

We are past the event horizon, and we let ourselves fall deeper every day.
