GOP: "Your candidate is unfit for office."
Dems: "Okay, we got a new candidate."
GOP: shocked pikachu
No no not like that! We're going to sue!
They aren’t going to sue. They are going to start shooting. They’ve outright stated that. It’s crystal clear: they’ve said that the revolution would be “bloodless” only if the left “allowed” it to be. I really wanted to live long enough to build a family,.
You missed what Johnson said this morning. He says it's "unlawful" in some states. (Which is not true in the slightest and they know it)
How much you want to bet that this only will be "unlawful" in red governmental shithole states
He's basically giving a dog whistle to maggot judges to hold the line for the fascist party's interest if these "challenges" come to them.
Edit: fixed for feels being hurt / jimmies rustled
Some of us live in those red shitholes. Send help. Please.
The only nice thing about those red shitholes is that it's stupidly easy to get a gun. Get one. Join your local chapter of the SRA. Train at the local range at least twice a month so that you are proficient with it. Learn all the local stand your ground laws. Memorize them. When they start shooting, aim center mass.
While a pistol is far more portable, it requires far more training, as the lower mass of the firearm results in a larger than expected kick. Shotguns are really the weapon of choice for urban defense.
I personally have a couple of extremely nice sniper crossbows, that are basically silent. Seriously, the bolt impacting my target makes more noise than the bow. A couple of T-33s, an AA-12, and a 30-06. Lots of ammo too.
Learning how to reload your ammo is also invaluable, should they start shooting. Have a "riot shield," basically the largest piece of steel you can easily carry that is more than 2" thick. Body armor is also a useful investment.
Can we try not to talk like Trump? No state as a whole is a shit hole full of shit hole people, those kinds of statements reek of elitism and it's not a good look.
I live in Oklahoma. It is a shithole. I live in a shithole state.
They're going to, probably in every single red state.
They're going to throw so much shit at the wall due to election ballot timing that unfortunately I think something will stick.. it more than likely wont be legitimate, but we have way too many corrupt judges out there :(
If there is any way Mississippi and Arkansas can keep a black woman Democrat off the ballot, they will find it.
You mean Mississippi and Arkansas might go red? I guess our entire electoral strategy's doomed, then!
