Nobody's going to do shit until the bread and circuses run out. Then the whole thing falls apart and it gets pretty chaotic for a while. Buckle up.
In other words, we ain't voting our way out of this mess.
@669563d8 When the Mexican Congress totally trolled and beclowned the US Congress by rolling out a couple old E.T. piñatas as "alien mummies", I thought, that's it, this is the best thing that 2023 is going to offer.
Then India comes out of nowhere with "Trudeau's airplane was packed to the gills with cocaine", and I knew the old girl still had a few surprises left in her. Good job, 2023. Keep up the good work.

Most of the people that the DHS has "several bullets for" have plenty of ammo to send back, too.
The problem they have is that this isn't some far-off shithole where they can just kill whoever they want with impunity. Those DHS agents live here, too, and they have families. It would get pretty ugly pretty fast once the lead starts flying.
They have far more insidious methods to control people without resorting to violence. Cernovich is a drama queen.
@86ee8b2c Seems kind of foolish to "hunt" the people who own more guns than all of the world's militaries combined.
Venison would be a much less popular food if deer had AR-15s.

The real "proper resolution" of such a situation involves tar, feathers, and possibly a guillotine if the first two items prove insufficient. Sadly, the British people don't have the stomach for that, so they'll just get more and more censorship.
@669563d8 Nothing says, "See, I told you guys, I am perfectly fine and don't need a conservator" like filming yourself dancing in your underwear with kitchen knives.
@449841af Oh, he's definitely unrepentant. It's happened more times than I care to count. He may have begun to rethink his life choices, but he clearly came to the conclusion that "I did everything perfectly and will continue on this path. Great artists are always misunderstood."

Seems like it would be much simpler for the elderly overweight orange-hued guy who famously loves McDonald's and Diet Coke to just have a "heart attack" than to go to all that trouble. Sure, some people would have questions, but they don't care about those people anyway, and the bulk of Americans will just shrug and move on as long as the story is sort of plausible.
@c45edd90@4aee84f3
Who do they think they're going to draft? The morbidly obese 7/11 clerk, the non-binary genderqueer with 16 self-diagnosed mental illnesses, or the fentanyl-snorting homeless kid? The vast majority of Americans today aren't even suitable for use as cannon fodder.
Maybe they can start drafting all the illegal immigrants streaming in. A lot of them seem to be fit, military-age young men.
@449841af Hey, at least it was outside. I once had a cat drag a rabbit in through the open kitchen window and gnaw its head off on the tile floor. That's a gruesome thing to come home to find. Thing is, she's a small cat, and the rabbit was at least 3/4 her size. I couldn't even be that mad at her, because it was actually a pretty impressive feat.
