Less than five years after urging rioters to “kill” police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6 defendant is working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice, which has been dramatically remade under the second Trump administration.

    The only other option is civil war, which relies on the militarily joining the rebellion, otherwise it would be a massacre if done openly, or simply become similar to The Troubles if done underground.

    We’re hoping the non violent general strike works instead.

        Not the person you replied to but it’s so incredibly upsetting and disheartening to see so many people shitting on us on top of everything that is already happening to us (not to diminish the effect that exists on everyone outside of the US of course).

        Thank you

      Don’t be so defeatist. The US military has been proven time and again to not be the masters of asymmetrical warfare they would have you believe they are.

        I’m not being defeatist. I’m saying in a straight up open confrontation, civilians would lose without the military fracturing with them.

        The Troubles is asymmetrical guerrilla warfare, which is sustainable, but very costly and certainly something to avoid if possible.
