It’s 2024, tomatoes are 25 dollars a pound and a dozen eggs costs a 15 year mortgage, we are absolutely fucked if this is what mobilizes this country.

People are torqued up, people are willing to kill one another (I mean they already have), but no one wants to die for anything in America. Or suffer dysentery. If you're a chud, is it really worth giving up the lifted truck for slumming it in the woods and getting some weird disease like legionairres foot? So you can, what, shoot a black person or a queer person??

I don't think they could survive contact with military curfew where they can't just go to the city hall and complain and push a few people around like they did for mask mandates. I don't think any of these people have really thought through what a civil war or even just some heightened low grade warfare tensions (like The Troubles) would mean.

These are the same freaks that thought COVID "lockdowns" was communism. I doubt they'd be able to survive a curfew for very long.

Communism is when you are politely asked not to gather in Golden Corral or intentionally cough on people because they are wearing a mask

I have been thinking about how much Republican causes nowadays are just vapor, because they stemmed from thoroughly isolated echo chambers pumping partial info. It is hard to translate into any consequential action because it too easily peters out from a public challenge.
