watch racists lose, again
Looking at how even WWII units were segregated, schools not getting integrated until the '60s, etc. I’m unfortunately not sure they really lost to begin with (which should not be allowed to pass again if there is a next time).
Doesn’t feel like they’re losing at the moment.
They always lose in the end
We haven’t started shooting yet
Real talk, it’s going to be like the troubles or the early days of Nazi Germany, not like people forming battle lines and shit. The only way the latter happens is if states secede; one viable scenario I’ve considered is California/Pacifica seceding and a subsequent shooting fight over water rights, because of how much water California gets from the Colorado River basin and other water sources outside its borders. But realistically, it’s going to be shitty partisan on partisan on innocent bystander violence.
Best advice I’ve heard is to form close ties and mutual aid agreements with your neighbors and friends. A small network of people can be far, far, far more resilient in defending protecting themselves than individuals or families can.

My neighbors are heavy GOP supporters. The single political sign I’ve ever put in my yard was to support the Pro Reproductive Freedom amendment ballot measure (pro choice amendment, which subsequently passed!). All of my neighbors had signs in their yard opposing it. I had a neighbor that lived a block away stop me while I was mowing my law asking me why I support a law that killed babies and turning kids trans. Nothing in the reproductive freedom amendment language has anything to do with anything trans.
and turning kids trans.
…I’m so confused by his logic.
logic
Well, using that word is your first mistake.
That’s because it’s not logic

I read an interview with someone from the war in Bosnia, and he talked about surviving the war. He said big families, in one house, they had an easier war. When shit gets real is when “friends” start to evaporate or turn their back, a lot more than you would think. The single people, or little families off on their own, they mostly didn’t make it.
It would never happen, no one in CA wants to leave the US and figure out how to maintain a national robust military. Also it’s really unlikely any US armed forces would break off from the US in significant numbers, so if you want to enforce your new country, you need to navigate a potential war with a military that has bases, weapons development, troops, and equipment in the most strategically advantaged locations. You’d need to silently create a counter army, and have VERY risky attacks at nearly every base all the same time, and capture most of the equipment in the process. If you aren’t force marching hundreds of US military people to a secure location, you aren’t winning any war, and the only successful way to exit the US is to have a military strong enough to prevent the US from immediately seizing control of the state, or thinking twice about starting a war.
It’s infinitly easier to use the existing system to progress the country in the direction you want to go over all.
Third. The war of independence was a civil war too.
Head over and shoot fascists. What else is there?
This is the only answer if you love America
We have a bug out spot in a very remote area near the border. It’s where we plan on retiring anyway. Stay the hell out of the way of the war I suppose.
Watch it unfold on TV News, I expect. And then think about it less and less as it begins just another fucked-up thing happening in the world.
Watch the news and be depressed about it I guess. Also, being glad not to live there.
Hunker down and see if the neighbors attack. It’s 50/50 around here. I don’t think my neighbors will attack me but who knows! I’ve got enough guns and ammo to defend myself if it’s not a super heavy attack. Idk, in a civil war, does everyone just start fighting? I’d probably be more careful going to the store…

Robert Evans did a podcast on what it might look like to have a civil war happening here. If I remember correctly it wasn’t so much that neighbors would randomly attack each other, but the travel was definitely different with lots of checkpoints and stuff like that.
“It Could Happen Here” I think it was called.
What if there is a nuclear war just as an asteroid hits the earth while the supervolcano erupts during the civil war?
It’s the end of the world (as we know it)?
Modern anime titles are getting wild
And it turns out the show is a rom-com between a female figure-skater and male ballet.
Take the US example and close all EU borders to american refugees. If you still try, we unfortunately have to put you into detention centers.
It’s so hard to get over there as an American anyway! You guys have these standards! And it’s not like we can just swim across the ocean and sneak in!
Probably just continue to talk shit to Nazis until one of them kills me.
Y’know, a life well lived.
Why let them kill you?
Its not about letting anyone kill me. I’m just realistic. I run my mouth a lot when it comes to Nazis, and I’m not a fighter. It stands to reason one day my rhetoric will piss off the wrong person, and it stands to reason that’ll be what kills me. Depending on how sadistic said person can get, there are worse ways to go.
Hope it’s like the first one and nothing happens in California.
Bad news for you: California is the focal point of many of their current conflicts.
California is the 5th largest economy in the world. Let’s be real, Republicans are just seething that a place with liberal political policy is so successful. The closest they’ve got is Texas which is propped up by the very liberal cities and honestly will eventually turn blue with the current population trends

Not visit the USA.
I saw a clip years ago of a car or bike backfiring. People were panicing like it was gun fire. Even though NYC and The Grand Canyon look amazing, I would hate to visit an me on edge whether a shooting will occur or not.
I have been in this habit all my life and will continue to do so :)
I’m gonna visit this guys house…for like the next 60 years.
Gotta find me first. :-)
Playing hard to get is just going to encourage the crazies.
By the time the crazies find me I’ll be running low on food. I’ve heard people taste like chicken.
There’s a reason it’s called Long Pork, actually…
