Comment on It's a wild life out there!

I see it as two folds, get the local governments to deny and defy Trump then take it to the capitol. It’d be harder to ignore if states are supporting this. But the images show riots and I don’t think it’d be easy to get the numbers in DC to really snarl things up without prior organization. Trump was only able to do it because the Democrats are pathetically weak.

You’re not wrong, but I think you might overestimate the number of states where anything like this could actually happen. It would be spun as a “leftist rebellion” and they’d send in the militia fuckers with glee IMO

They’d do it with any rioting or similar in DC. We’re in a position people are being killed by the regime and will continue to be, and I think we should have a few states backing up counter movements in some way. The 2021 insurrection was able to get away with it because the regime was still in control at that point to let it happen.

It’s relatively easy to go after each of 20 independent 1 million person protests one at a time. It’s comparatively difficult to deal with 20 million people
