It's getting to the point where I don't think dicking around on internet forums is good enough. Every time trump repeat the phrase "51st state" it gets a little more serious. We need to start organizing irl like, yesterday.
Bet you don't though.
Yeah. We have to start having discussions with our family and relatives. We can't keep politics out of conversations anymore. Anyone who plans to vote conservative needs to be convinced otherwise.
I hate how vague that always is. Specific ideas: Join the military, annoy your MP, volunteer for a political party. If it's America that we're worried about none of the edgelord stuff applies anyway.
I'm thinking more along the lines of we might not be able to trust our government (and therefore military) to do the right thing, independent of who wins the election.
It would be wise to put together some type of organization (reserve militia?) to be prepared for that contingency.
Riiight, because that's easier, and can be trusted more than the democratically controlled military we already have. I'm sorry, that's one of the edgelord things I was talking about.
In that scenario, the CIA controlled Quisling CSIS says hello
What military?
If only anyone had access to guns actually useful in an invasion. I wouldn't even face off against a herd of feral pigs with a legal gun. Have fun with a five shot pinned SKS or an old bolt action 308 facing off a military
