Comment on Gov. Sherrill Demands Access to ICE Facility as Hunger Strike Widens
rainwall@piefed.social 11 hours agoHow would you know? Its never been done. 6 years ago we would have said the same about a violent ijssurection at the capitol that almost derailed the transfer of power, but instead all of those terrorists will be millionaires on our dime.
There is no way to know what would happen I’m the above case. That’s the constitutional crisis I’m recommending they force. Its entirely possible the people rally around the governor and instead push for real change, refusing to let the guard be federalized.
The only thing the feds can do them is bring the actual army in, and that broaches another constitutional crisis. Will they start an actual civil war, or will they buckle to the intense pressure of a unified people and actually relent to democracy?

You’re in a country where the right has publicly fantasized about killing the left for decades. Yes, they’ll do that

Always big talk, no action. The left owns hella guns, we just dont broadcast it.
I’m not talking about civilian revolt in the above. I’m talking about a governor mobilizing the national guard, doing what’s right, and building public support by doing it.
These people are cowards who use bluster to disarm action. Theycwant you talking instead of doing. We need to stop that and start swinging.

Starting to swing means being in a place where you can win and the other side pays the price. What you’re describing does not get is that

Ok, so there’s not a fucking thing to do until we die. So, why make this post AT ALL?
