America, you are already at war. You have been for over a year, you just didn’t know it.
I have been saying since November 6th, 2024, “Well, there it is. We’re going to slide into full-blown authoritarianism, unless we fight it out in the streets. We will not get free and fair elections unless we revolt.”
People said I was just being paranoid.
But here we are:
- The gerrymandering race has begun
- Threats of “federalizing the elections”
- Saying “We shouldn’t even have an election”
- Threatening to have ICE SA goons at all the polling stations to scare away voters of color
- Threats of the Insurrection Act
- Threats of war on multiple fronts (Iran, Venezuela, Greenland, etc.), so they can use martial law to suspend elections
Impeachment
I also have been saying that impeachment is a pipe dream. It has never once removed a president from office. It takes two-thirds of Congress to convict, and it’s a Republican majority.
The 25th Amendment
The 25th Amendment is also a pipe dream; not going to happen.
A National Strike
A national strike will hurt the workers more than the oligarchs. The average American can’t afford to risk losing their job, and can’t afford to miss a single day of work. In fact, the average American worker is one or two sick days away from financial disaster.
The people who push this idea the hardest are always the most privileged people, the ones who can’t understand why others KNOW they can’t participate in it.
For a day? Sure. For a week? Maybe. Probably not.
Long enough to do real damage to the system, to make the oligarchs cave? Fat chance.
It’s a ridiculous strategy.
Lawsuits
Lawsuits are the dumbest strategy of all. The orange toddler king has 34 felonies and didn’t do a single day of time. it is immune to lawsuits.
The tangerine palpatine was trained by Roy Cohn, one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever walk the streets of New York, and that’s saying something.
Grow up. The clown turd cheated its way to the top, suing people, cheating people out of money it owed them, and basically skating away laughing every time.
And that, as you know, is why that disgusting reject from Housewives of New Jersey is worshipped by the most horrible, hateful, disgusting people in America. They love the thing because the thing gets away with everything it does.
Contacting Your Representatives
Writing letters and emails to corrupt politicians who already know what you want? Nope. Not going to help. Phone calls? Same thing.
The ones who need to do the right thing are already dug in too deep. They can’t reverse course now. They know the American people will never forgive them. They have to win, or they know they will do prison time or worse.
I vote for WORSE.
The ones who are trying to do the right thing (like Bernie Sanders and AOC) are simply powerless, outnumbered. They don’t need to hear from you. They can’t do anything. They would if they could.
Boycotts
Boycotts? Nope. Temporary hits to the pocketbooks of the insanely rich. You can’t starve out people who have more money than God. You do not simply try to lay siege to billionaires. That’s not a Sun-Tzu-approved strategy.
You attempt to starve out people who can’t afford to miss any profits. That describes the American people, not the oligarchs.
The richest ones will pay handsomely for power. They will happily kick money downstream to pay their henchmen to use heavy-handed tactics to keep the workers in line.
Video and Whistles
Whistles and cellphones don’t stop Nazis. That’s a nice gesture, but that is all that it is… a gesture. When you blow a whistle, you buy a little time for the immigrants you alert with your whistles. But where will they go to be truly safe?
It will make you feel better, like you’re doing something. But it’s a half-measure:
Think through the steps. Always ask yourself the question, “And then what? What happens after that? Okay, and then what happens after that happens?” And so on.
The immigrants are not safe until the tyrants are out of power and ICE is disbanded, they’re all fired and then new people are hired under stringent rules, background checks, careful training, and put under strict rules of conduct that are enforced.
And that will never happen as long as the orange garbage bag of diarrhea and vomit is in office.
What’s Left?
America, you are at WAR. Time to grow up and accept the harsh realities of our current situation.
It’s time to gear up and be ready to do what your forefathers did. I don’t say this lightly. I am studied in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and other wars.
The Revolutionary War had fewer casualties because of a lower population, and more primitive weapons.
The Civil War had both a much larger population and rapid advances in the technology of warfare, hence the first major (large scale) battle of the war, Shiloh, had more deaths (around 23,000 or more) than all previous battles in American history. Before the war was over, there would be at least 600,000 dead.
A war today, however, would be thoroughly unpredictable. It would most likely be incredibly costly, in terms of lives lost and casualties suffered.
But it would be asymmetrical warfare, with no clear lines of battle. It would be violence springing up here and there, and otherwise, life would remain relatively normal for most people.
That doesn’t mean that it wouldn’t be horrific, because it most certainly would be. But you have to consider several things:
- First, you’re already there. The experts all agree that all the conditions have been met. It’s just a matter of which event on which day is going to set the powder keg off. Here’s just one such person: author of The Next Civil War.
- What is the alternative? The only alternative is to bend the knee to a pedophile felon who wants you to have no healthcare, no science, no education, no access to vaccines, no allies in the world, and no future.
- You will have to turn a blind eye to the rape and murder of immigrants, the imprisonment of the orange shit stain’s political opponents, and you will have to be content letting them hijack your elections and your democracy.
- You will be spitting and pissing on the graves of every single person who died in every American war, the people who fought Britain for Independence, the people who fought the Confederacy to end slavery, the people who fought Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito in WWII, and the people who fought in all other wars.
- You will be mocking their sacrifices, through your cowardice, your unwillingness to risk your life and your freedom.
- And if you do that, then you deserve to live in horrible conditions and awful, terrible, miserable shame for the rest of your worthless existence.
What to Do?
- Organize with people who are willing to die over this. You need nut jobs like me, people who hate Nazis so much that they’d rather die than see a fucking Nazi continue to breathe.
- Arm yourself and train. Practice your Second Amendment rights, and do it legally. Go to the range. Get a concealed carry permit. Learn to field-strip and clean your weapon. Learn how to clear a jammed weapon. Get lessons if you need them.
- Want to train with non-fascists? Find your local Socialist Rifle Association. They don’t care if you’re not a Socialist, just as long as you’re not an active-duty cop, a domestic abuser, or a fascist. They’re very LGBTQ-friendly and very responsible gun owners. They will train you. They’re really nice people.
- Prep. Store shelf-stable food, water, and water purification methods. Stock up on first aid supplies and medications and medical manuals.
- Also, start collecting military manuals and books about tactics, particularly guerrilla warfare tactics, you know, for the um… historical value, like for schoolwork and stuff. Yeah, that’s it, schoolwork.
- Get my book Basic Survival Prepping by Kevin Trent Boswell.
(even though, yes, they ARE the ENEMY)
None of this discussion is pleasant. To be perfectly honest, I think I am looking at my last days. I don’t expect to survive this bullshit. But I promise you, I don’t write that sitting here, wiping tears away. No, nothing of the sort. It’s more of a bitter scowling frustration, because I know that if this proceeds unchecked, there will be no real quality of life in America.
What I mean is that I would bet everything that I own that the tyrants will not stop, but rather, they will escalate.
Since I’m unwilling to sit back and watch that unfold, I don’t see how I have any other real option than to do whatever I can, play my part, whatever way is most effective. There’s not much I can do until everyone finally realizes that none of the options discussed above are viable, except for revolt.
I would rather read books, watch movies, eat good food, chase girls, play guitar, listen to music, write poetry, and pretty much anything else, anything that doesn’t involve fighting Nazis in the streets.
But there are Nazis in the streets, and they hurting people. There are Nazis on the Hill, and they’re hurting people.
