    The problem is a what to actually do. Congress and the courts are controlled by people who largely agree with Project 2025. Most of the American public has no clue that it’s a real thing, and thinks it’s so out there that anybody telling them about it is on LSD and not credible.

      You mean to tell me, that in America. Where you can legally acquire, a genuine, US Army certified Rocket-Propelled Grenade from a gun show in Vegas for cash… you guys can’t think of what to actually do?

      Zoinks Scoob, I think I’m getting a clue.

        Problem:

        The people who have argued hardest for the ability to buy things like that and actually do it and have hoarded the weapons already are the racists

        So if we try an unorganized attack of any kind, we give the insane motherfuckers who want Red Dawn to happen a reason to start unloading. I’ve personally seen some of what these crazies have stockpiled, that is not a can you want to open

        We’re basically fucked on using weapons until those guys are hurting enough to be on our side, which might be too late to matter, anyway

          Ukrainians stood up to what was thought to be the second strongest military in the world at the time, with little more than styrofoam and gasoline.

          And if they kill all the workers and soldiers who will be left to fight their wars and make their goods?

            According to Musk, it’s AI apparently. The details were a bit sketchy though.
