People are concerned about authoritarian overreach, so the state decides to step in and do authoritarian overreach in response.

I would like to hear all the very strong and principled second amendment “don’t tread on me” cosplayers, who have been lathered up about this very danger my whole life, explain to me why they aren’t setting up sniper positions right now to counter the deployment of these troops.

The last No Kings protest in Austin saw State Troopers deployed everywhere and lots of social media threats from State leadership, but it just turned out to be a massive peaceful protest.

Fine, it should be interesting to see the numbers of participants on both sides of this. Imagine being a soldier being deployed against the people of your own country, and seeing their numbers outnumber your company by 100 to 1 or more. If they're not fully committed nazis they should be wondering if they are on the wrong side by then.

Stupid little pig has no leg to stand on anyway.

I maintain that there is exceptions to everything. He is the exception to treating the crippled with respect.

I am fairly certain that MAGA crisis actors will infiltrate the protests this weekend to stir shit up and give Trump an excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act.

"Oh you don't like the Empire? We'll send in the (Sturmabteilung) Stormtroopers then!"

Ahh the Free Republic of Texas, the Lone Star State. Lead by the rational, steady hand of Piss Baby and his corrupt AF - I mean AG.

That's ok. Our fit troops who can meet the new standards are off in other states. All we have left here should be the Meal Team 6 Gravy Seals.

That's alright, they were at the last one, too.
