Musk and his friends are planning right now , on how to handle the menace.

Out of ego or the Principe that 'you don’t treat with terrorist" they will never allow free healthcare (at least, as long trump is in power).

So what will they do?

Fly a plane into another tower? Found “evidence” that Luigi is a pedophile? distract us with a war with china? Enforce gun control? Ban gun 3d printing? Just enroll more bodyguards they will never trust?

    At this point I just let my imagination run wild and look for worst case scenarios, then trim off only the most outlandish.

    The first step is going to be encouraging and enabling “VIP Protection.” Restrictions on things like where you can carry a gun will be relaxed for people acting as security for “People at elevated risk,” which will mean “The rich.”

    Next there will be new laws that increase the severity of punishments for actions against the rich. It’ll be similar to hate crime rules, escalating the punishments beyond just what was done.

    There may also be changes in “Self Defense” cases loosening the requirements to justify lethal force if the one defending themselves is “Economically Maligned,” so basically if you’re rich you can kill someone in self defense just because they looked at you while poor. VIP protection details will be legally permitted to subdue and detain anyone they suspect of “ill will toward” their wealthy client, including everyone poor in and around whatever location the VIP wants to visit.

    Finally Republicans will finally “compromise” on gun control by allowing new fees and taxes that are solely intended to move guns out of reach of the poor.

    It will all be in the name of “fighting class warfare” and “protecting job creators from the radical left.”

      At this point I feel like organizers need to consult with the French on how to throw a revolution.

      They got a bad wrap (rap? I’m not sure, only heard it spoken) with WW2, but man… they could revolt.

      Guillotines were unwieldy, near stationary equalizers. Imagine what the American people could do with plentiful arms and ammunition. I know, that AR15 isn’t gonna stop a tank, but a militant group of rednecks with access to basic chemistry supplies can be dangerous.

      Sadly, the it seems the people who want to “fight tyranny” and buy all the guns and ammo en masse are also fascist bootlickers.

      I lean left, hard. That being said, I remain very Pro 2A.

      I haven’t been worried about the military with all the stochastic terrorism in the red states I’ve lived in, I’ve been worried about my neighbors. And I gotta tell ya, Cletus with his temu body armor and lack of fingers is a concern, but not so much as a military vehicle (or militarized police vehicle) worry me.

      But honestly, if the military refuses to uphold their oath to protect the constitution against enemies foreign and (more importantly) domestic - well, we’re all fucked.

      Uncle Sam does not fuck around when it comes to exterminating civilians, and pigs are just military wash outs who didn’t exceed the intelligence requirement.
