Modern persons in this country Are like that old wive’s tale About turkeys drowning in the rain Because they are too stupid to Stop drinking the rain
It’s a dumb idea, born of dumb people Who listen to dumb things They heard from other dumb people
Turkeys, as any decent hunter will tell you, Are notoriously difficult to hunt
You can get reasonably close to them If you’re unarmed; Not too close, but close enough to Admire them
But pull out a rifle or a handgun And watch them scatter
Go looking for them after that, Good luck
Set up a hunting blind to still-hunt them, You’ll be waiting for a while, A long while
Stalk them, You’ll be walking a long way, For a long time, Trying not to snap twigs And rustle leaves
So, how is it that a supposedly “Dumb” bird Knows what a shotgun is? Or a .308 rifle, .30-06, 35 caliber?
Why does a bird you eat at Thanksgiving Show no alarm if you suddenly Whip out a stick and wave it around, But when you pull out a Smith and Wesson .38, It takes off
You telling me that’s dumb?
Now, modern Americans… I can easily picture them Drowning in the rain
Now, I’m not saying that Smart Americans don’t have plenty of Good reasons for wanting to die, For wanting to tune out
After all, the smart ones are Surrounded By idiots who are ready, willing, and able To swamp the boat For everyone
Those who worship the opinions Of people who make Billions of dollars a year, but Have no compassion or empathy
I mean, if you also Make billions of dollars per year,
And you regard the people Who helped you get there As pests to be managed, Then sure, you should probably listen, When some other vapid cunt Who makes billions per year Speaks
But if you make less than A hundred grand per year, And most people do, Regardless of what Google tells you,
And if you genuinely believe In things like reciprocity and loyalty, Then maybe don’t listen To sociopaths?
I don’t know, Call me crazy
Maybe the guy who made billions Off the backs of average people, And regularly threatens To fire them, should they miss a few days, Because they were sick, Or because they were late a few times, Or because they tried to unionize,
Maybe that guy isn’t your friend?
Mr. and Mrs. Blue Collar America?
Seems to me, That to believe that a billionaire Is capable of thinking about What’s good for anyone Other than themselves,
Well, you would have to be Just about as stupid As a bird that tries to drink rain Until it drowns
Except, such birds don’t exist
If they did, they’d have gone extinct A long time ago
That kind of behavior is not what Evolution regards as being “Selected for”
But poor people Believing in “Trickle Down Economics,”
Now, that is a real thing
Because a movie star told them; Not just a movie star, But also a TV star; Not just a movie and TV star, But also “the prehzidehnt Uv tha Yoonyted Staytes”
That was forty years ago
Things have gotten much worse since then
But these things take time
Should start “trickling down” Any day now
Just like the rain down a Turkey’s neck
Americans, most of them, Are in fact, too stupid to breathe
They detest bad news and Pesky facts
Shoot the messenger, Not the problem, itself
Trust the guy who commits To the lies
Look down your nose at the ones who Try to give you health insurance And education
The rains are coming
Sky’s cloudy and dark, Winds picking up
A lot of people are soon going to be found Lying out in the open, In the woods, on the streets, In their backyards, on football fields, In parks and playgrounds and Parking lots
Dead Drowned
Reasonable people will have tried To warn them
That’s not rain “trickling down” In gushes and torrents
That’s the streaming urine Of people who will make More money, today, alone
Than you will in your lifetime
Much more
Billionaires are, as the British say, “Taking the piss” On average Americans
And everyday Americans Are eating it up
Or rather, Drinking it down
And since they can’t sustain themselves On a steady stream of Billionaire piss
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.
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.
Think this “isn’t your job?” Think again. Well before the fighting became intense in the Revolutionary War, as early as 1771-1773, every male Colonist between the ages of sixteen to sixty was expected to serve in the militia.
What modern Democrats have failed to understand is that the “well-regulated militia” mentioned in the Second Amendment has ALWAYS been about the citizenry.
The Founders were constantly saying that it was essential for the people, the individual citizens to retain their rights to keep and bear arms. They made no confusing statements, no cryptic arguments that might be interpreted in multiple ways.
Rather than quote the Founders, I’m just going to quote the Second Amendment and encourage you to look for the examples yourself. Americans are entirely too used to having information spoon fed to them these days. Use search engines to search for facts for yourself.
Of course, if you’re reading my work, you probably already do that. Because people who have the patience to sift through my articles and poetry are generally intelligent people because I demand more from my readers.
Unfortunately, most people still hear, “Look it up!” and they never actually do it. But you are probably smarter than that, so please, search for examples that show how the Founders did indeedwant the individual citizens to retain their rights to keep and bear arms, precisely because of the kinds of danger from tyranny that we now find ourselves facing.
The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution reads: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Side Note: Perhaps the greatest disservice that organizations like MOVEON.org have done is to “flood the zone” (deliberately using the language of that PoS, Steve Bannon) with messages that are counterproductive. They make memes and videos that always say things like,
“So and So [name of celebrity or Democrat] DESTROYS [name of orange abomination]!”
My response to this garbage is, “No, jackass. Destroy? Really? Destroy means to strip all power and efficiency from a person or thing, to obliterate it. Last I checked, the orange monstrosity was DESTROYING us, daily. So, shut up.
Also, the expression T.A.C.O. isn’t helping anyone. That’s NOT what is happening, anyway. Yes, there are lots of temporary changes in direction, but orange turd always comes back and does it again. The tariffs, the third term talk, you name it.
it temporarily changes course to get YOU, the American people, to relax and focus on other things. Then, later, the terror threats resume again, as if they’d never ended.
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.
Available on Amazon (even though, yes, they ARE the ENEMY)
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine.
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.
Author’s Note: For the record, anyone who is still calling for (only) peaceful protests is a moronic child.
The elections will not proceed normally. Why? Because fascists NEVER allow free and fair elections. If you think you’re not already in a fascist regime, then honestly? You’re too stupid to deserve freedom.
If you’re unable to fight, and peaceful resistance is literally all you are capable of doing, then I am not angry with you. You are not who I am speaking to right now.
But if you ARE capable of fighting, yet, you refuse to, OR if you’re actively discouraging others from utilizing armed resistance, then just know this:
I HATE YOU WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING.
You are a fascist enabler. You can go to hell. Your childish, Pollyanna naive notions of nonviolence are excruciatingly misguided. You have no comprehension of how the real world works.
The Khmer Rouge of Cambodia was going on about the same time that I entered this world. If you truly believe that humans have “outgrown” violence, then you’re a fool, and you literally don’t deserve to live in the democracy that so many of your forefathers died to provide you.
Note how many occurred just in the last hundred years. Now, one is literally beginning in your backyard.
Erica Chenoweth is NOT your friend. Her work is cherrypicking history. She is most likely a CIA plant, but that doesn’t even matter.
All you have to do is look around and see that the new SA goons are perfectly willing to murder American citizens, and they will not be held accountable for any of it; not by the regime, anyway.
You either stand your little punk ass up and defend yourself against tyranny, or you DESERVE to live beneath the boots of the Fourth Reich.
The Black Panthers are standing up. The people of Lincoln Heights, Ohio stood up. The people in Minneapolis took to the streets with rifles and handguns to protect their neighborhoods.
So, if you are a little pacifist shit who is still clinging to naive notions of impeachment or the 25th Amendment, then YOU are the problem. I think you’re WORSE than the fascists, themselves. How? Because I understand what they are doing.
They’re fascists. Fascists are gonna fash.
But what are YOU doing? That’s what makes no fucking sense. You are angry at the people who want to stop the fascists by any means necessary.
I HATE YOU.
You will all eventually be screaming for blood, once the fascists kill or imprison one of YOUR loved ones, and THEY WILL.
“First they came..”
And I will have no sympathy for you, because you were too hopelessly addicted to your stupid belief that logic, reason, and fair play will always prevail.
There is only one way to deal with bullies, and it has NOTHING to do with writing letters, “rocking the midterms,” voting Blue, making phone calls, and least of all, blowing goddamn whistles.
Shove your whistles up your asses.
Pick up something that will actually stop a Nazi.
Because:
ALL NAZIS MUST DIE.
Not a real quote, just a meme I made.
My name is Kevin Trent Boswell, and I refuse to cower in fear of those worthless little Nazi shits who sold their country for a red hat.
I will not break bread with Nazis. Anyone who still identifies as a Conservative, a Republican, Libertarian, or a “Moderate” is NOT a good person. Go to hell. Eat a bag of dicks and DIE.
I’m already on all of the coolest watchlists, but please, feel free to report me to any or all of them… again. I would hate for those motherfuckers to ever forget my name.
And if anyone reading this doesn’t like what I’m saying, I live in Portland, Oregon, and it’s not difficult to find me. Come sort it out. I suggest you bring help.
And STOP talking about Impeachment because you clearly have no idea what you’re asking for. Read the goddamn Wikipedia page, ferfuckssake.
Likewise, the 25th Amendment is NOT going to be invoked. Stop being a child. The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, and Jesus are not going to combine and form Mega-Savior.
Nobody is going to save your stupid ass.
Either pick up a weapon, assist someone who is willing and able to pick up a weapon, or learn to delight in poverty and servitude, because you will be required to Sieg Heil that disgusting orange sack of vomit and diarrhea every day at specific times.
Think that’s hyperbole? Then you are a moron and you don’t deserve to live in a free society.
I made this one, too. And if you genuinely think anyone is going to impeach the president successfully, then. you are an IDIOT.
They’ve already threatened to suspend the elections, just like I (and others) warned they would, as far back as 2020, but especially since Inauguration Day of this regime.
They’ve already threatened to have ICE SA/SS goons patrol polling stations and intimidate voters.
They’ve already murdered people in cold blood, in daylight, on video.
And some of you are STILL insisting that the rest of us remain peaceful?
Who the fuck do you think you are? And what the fuck are you smoking?
What? Because you know there will be bloodshed and destruction? Seriously?
You don’t see your nation being pulled apart from the inside? You don’t see your nation being isolated from all its traditional allies? You don’t see your nation being dragged into wars with hornets nests?
Get a grip. Embrace reality. You are NOT safe until you deal with this, and you ain’t getting out of it the easy way.
I know you’re angry; I don’t blame you It feels like American freedom is spent But please try to remember that it’s illegal To talk about killing the president
I know it’s hard watching these racists; To a coward, sadist, false king, they bent But it’s still a crime to make idle threats About murdering the stupid president
I don’t ever want you to get locked up So, don’t do something you’ll later lament Don’t even jokingly say to someone That you’re planning to kill the president
Liberals need to get a grip on the facts Democracy has come right off the tracks Get it through your Progressive head This doesn’t end without bloodshed
The Epstein list, it just doesn’t matter Scandals don’t cause tyrants to scatter The “schism” should cause you no elation But you’re not ready for that conversation
Maybe you’ll get lucky; I don’t know Like the British, saying, “You guys can go” King George set us free just to be nice And we didn’t even have to ask twice
Or how Southern States just up and quit, No need for the Union to do actual shit Confederacy said, “Hey, let’s not fight” “We’re sorry. We want to make it right”
When that guy with the funny mustache Apologized for being grumpy and rash He regretted invading Poland and France, Gave it right back when he had a chance
But good luck with the nonviolent protest If boycotts and letters are your very best You should persuade them any day now Although, in truth, I don’t know how
Those authoritarian fashy-types, Don’t yield power over grumbles or gripes To beat fascism without ending up dead Get over yourself, and embrace bloodshed
If we Americans on the Left had any backbone, we’d all start talking to our neighbors today about forming armed “neighborhood watches.”
We would follow the brave and inspiring example of the good people of Lincoln Heights, Ohio.
Lincoln Heights, Ohio
The Black community has been in danger in the United States since before it was technically a nation. When Nazis demonstrated in Lincoln Heights, the people of that neighborhood knew that no one was coming to save them.
Unlike White Liberal Americans, who are clutching their pearls and waiting for the courts and corrupt politicians to save them, the Black community of Lincoln Heights immediately kicked into gear. They knew that if they did not stand up for themselves, then no one would stand for them.
Yeah, So?
But why would you bother to form an armed neighborhood watch in your community, when you (probably) haven’t had Nazi or KKK or Proud Boy demonstrations in your local area?
You should be doing so because actual Nazis have infiltrated your government at the highest levels.
If this doesn’t inspire you to fight, then there’s just no fight in you.
You have RFK suggesting the first stage of a Aktion T4 style eugenics program, a national autism registry.
You have ICE, the new Gestapo snatching people off the streets and sending them to super prisons in El Salvador, without proof of any crimes, or any due process.
Often, they arrest the wrong people, and in some cases, still deport them or put them in a death prison, all without proof of having committed any crimes.
I made this. Nazi lives don’t matter. Those fuckers know where to find me. Nobody is going to tell me that anyone needs a job bad enough to be a Gestapo agent. Fuck those guys. They betrayed their country.
If you’re still laboring under the delusion that you will just “vote them out” in the midterms and in 2028, then you have not been paying attention.
Nothing about the actions of the last hundred days says “respect for democratic principles.” The regime does not believe that you deserve DUE PROCESS. What in God’s name makes you think they intend to allow you fair elections?!
Have you asked yourself why any government officials would take such murderous and cruel actions against their citizens, if they had any intention of ever leaving office and living amongst those same citizens?
A meme I made
Unless we’re willing to live perpetually in an authoritarian dystopia very similar to North Korea, then we will have to fight, sooner or later.
The Supreme Court is never going to strongly rule against the king they so recently crowned.
Even if they did, who would they send?
The Department of Justice sends the US Marshals to enforce its orders. However, the president appoints the head of DoJ, and that brings Pam Bondi into the mix.
The situation is incredibly complicated, but suffice to say, I have not yet seen any compelling evidence that any court has the right to arrest the president, especially after that nightmare ruling by the Supreme Court.
The ultimate authority over the US Marshals belongs to the president, whether it is obvious or not. They’re technically under the authority of the Department of Justice.
But Republicans have been seeking out constitutional weaknesses for decades, and they have finally found enough of them to exploit them for their attempt to finally finish off democracy, once and for all.
As we’ve all seen, despite all the ranting by orange traitor about “weaponizing the DoJ,” it’s truly being weaponized now, going so far as to arrest judges and threaten law firms with criminal prosecution.
If the Supreme Court can’t enforce orders, then what makes us think that ultimately the lower courts will be able to enforce theirs?
Those Who Fought Before
If you would happily abandon the sacrifices of nearly a half-million service members during WWII, it would still stand to reason that self-interest would implore you to act now.
Even if you chose to ignore the millions of lives lost all across the globe because of Nazis, certainly you wouldn’t ignore it in your own backyard, would you?
The D-Day Invasion of Normandy
Why haven’t you rebelled?!
A meme that I made
The Founding Fathers didn’t have one-fourth of the causes for revolution that you do.
Surely, commonly decency impels us to defend our immigrant neighbors, the health and safety of the women who are your mothers, sisters, wives, cousins, coworkers, and friends?
If you will not fight for the LGBTQ community, then you still must recognize that the regime is breaking the economy over its knee, then taking a baseball bat to its skull.
Doesn’t your pocketbook at least compel you? Does NOTHING persuade you to fight?!
I do understand that the US military is the finest killing machine on Earth, and nobody is dumb enough to try to go head-to-head with them.
But the stench of fear coming off of you clouds your mind, and you fail to understand that the Founding Fathers openly discussed the same dangers.
They asked each other, “Gentlemen, do you realize that, by signing this document, we are signing our death warrants?”
This is why John Hancock famously stated that he was signing large enough to ensure King George could read his name.
But you tell yourself that our present situation is somehow different than theirs.
It is not.
The details are different, but the essential situation is very similar.
However, it is not even remotely comparable in one sense. That is to say, the Founding Fathers didn’t have one-tenth of the reasons to revolt that you do.
The Townsend Acts (essentially a series of tariffs)
And perhaps most importantly:
The Boston Port Act
The Massachusetts Government Act
The Administration of Justice Act
The Quartering Act
The Quebec Act
All of these things combined pale in comparison to The Crimes Committed, all of the insufferable horrors thrust upon the American people by the Republican Party within the first hundred days of this fascist regime.
Yup, another meme I made.
Your belly-aching fear prevents you from asking questions of anyone who might understand the real situation.
But How?!
I could tell you that, yes, you could win, if you were willing to fight, if you were willing to take the same risks that the Founders took for liberty.
If you were willing to take the risks that you daily ask your police and military to take, then you could be free of the tyranny.
Any intelligence analyst, who is worth their salt, from the CIA, NSA, DoD, DHS, CSS, DIA, NGA, or the NRO could tell you the same thing:
Even a half-hearted, sustained guerrilla warfare campaign waged by the people would be devastating, even against the US military.
Let’s be honest, they wouldn’t tell you that.
It wouldn’t be in their best interests to reveal such a potentially volatile and dangerous reality. But if you were good friends with one of them, they might let the truth slip out.
Such an admission might perhaps occur after you plied them with a couple of beers and told a couple of particularly funny jokes.
How is that true that you could win a war against the most devastating military force on the planet?
How? When they have a million active duty troops and almost a million reservists? When they have automatic weapons, grenades, Blackhawk helicopters, drones, and tanks?
Another meme I made
Simple.
Consider the following:
If the Blue states seceded, they would isolate the Red states from the oceans on the West Coast, as well as the ports of the North Atlantic
The United States has more guns than people, and far more Liberals own guns than you think
Here are a couple of YouTube videos that illustrate some of the basic concepts of how a new civil war might unfold, and how radically different it would be from the first one.
These videos are far from perfect.
There are plenty of unknowns in such a theoretical scenario.
Second Civil War
The next one was made well before Biden dropped out of the race, but the speculations are still relevant.
Who Will Win?
If you think a guerrilla warfare campaign can’t succeed, you need to talk to some veterans of Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, or any of the “secret wars” like Nicaragua or Ukraine.
Yes, we regularly send “operators,” ex-military intelligence operatives, into battle in non-official war zones. They know.
Of the one million active duty troops, they are:
Scattered across the entire country and the entire world, on foreign bases
Not entirely in support of the regime; even if 75% were rabid MAGA, and they completely ignore their oaths, that’s still a quarter million who would fight alongside YOU; I’m willing to bet that it would be many more than that
They’re not able to secure the terrain of every house, barn, garage, factory, warehouse, office building, or apartment complex in every town, city, or hamlet across a country as large and diverse as the United States
They cannot possibly patrol every national park, forest, lake, or valley; look at the complexities of patrolling just the Southern and Northern borders
The people of Canada and Mexico (and most of the world) are on OUR SIDE. They will happily assist us in smuggling supplies to us, to aid our fight; seeing the fascist regime fall is in their best interests
Insurgency Is a Bitch
Yet another meme that I made
If the military were suddenly forced to deal with the American population rising against them, all across the entire nation, they wouldn’t stand a chance.
If even a tenth of the population decided to fight, the fascist regime wouldn’t have a chance to resist.
While it’s true that the right wing is keen on military service, gun ownership, and being survivalists, they’re not automatically victorious because of these things.
The Left are the ones who have a deeper understanding of history, and therefore strategy, and what actually works in warfare.
While right-wingers are usually the ones on the battlefield, using weapons, left wingers are usually the ones designing those weapons.
The Left has the chemists, engineers, and thinkers.
The Left has many of the computer programmers and hackers. The doge douchebags have shown us that we don’t have all of them, but we still have more.
Pen & Sword
The pure brawn and brute force of a right wing soldier is imposing and impressive. But even Genghis Khan knew that this was only half the battle. Superior strategy regularly prevails over brute force, and sometimes over superior numbers.
And the Right, despite what they would have you believe, does NOT have the superior numbers.
Even with psycho riot cops, hired Blackwater militias, Proud Boys, Neo-Nazi groups, and the KKK, they do NOT have the numbers.
And frankly,
they don’t have
even half
the brain power.
The ambushes they’d walk into.
The internal power schisms within the military and the police forces would keep them in constant damage control mode and paranoia.
They would exhaust untold resources, trying in vain to locate the heads of “terrorist cells” (what the regime would label them).
There might not even be an official army to stand against them. It would not matter. They’d be doomed.
Consider the fallout of situations like the Red Brigades of Italy, the French Revolution, the French Resistance of WWII, the Troubles of Northern Ireland, the Battle of Algiers, or Che Guevara’s guerrilla war in Cuba.
I might have a meme-making problem
The United States military is the most dangerous military machine on Earth. Still, the fact remains that counterinsurgency is a fool’s errand.
And you, my fellow Americans, are the insurgents. Or rather, you could be, if only you were willing to place a higher premium on liberty than you do on your precious stock market.
If only you cherished the freedoms and protections of your sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, friends and neighbors, as you do your freedom from prison or the threat of death.
Occam’s Razor basically posits the idea that we should look for answers that have the smallest set of elements.
In other words, “the simplest answer is usually the correct one.”
If You Always Do What You’ve Always Done…
You can choose to believe that you will vote the bad guys out in the future, but I don’t share your optimism.
You might choose to believe that the traitors in Congress will suddenly grow a conscience and a spine.
If they somehow did both, then perhaps they would impeach. However, most Americans are entirely ignorant of how difficult it is to remove a sitting president from power.
The Supreme Court, Congress, the oligarchs (with their Dark Enlightenment and End Times Fascism) who bankroll the fascists, the Heritage Foundation, and the rabid MAGA base who still support this madness, all of them are to blame.
You might think that peaceful protests are going to change their minds, but I don’t.
You might think that a national strike would make a difference. But I don’t personally believe that the oligarchs, who have more money than God, and who now want to play God with human lives, are unwilling to forfeit some monetary benefits in exchange for the raw power that fascism affords them. I think it’s foolish to expect to starve them out. They have the advantage, to say the least.
Even if you think there’s such a thing as “a bridge too far” for Supreme Court justices like Alito and Thomas, I don’t. Even if they believed that all Americans wanted impeachment or conviction, they are well past the point of return. They can’t afford to change course now.
The lower court rulings are being partially respected, yes. But the Republican regime is still fighting those battles, which tells you who they are.
And they’re allowing you to witness them “obey” the courts on small matters, so you will hopefully forget how they are completely ignoring the much larger, far more important issues, like the Supreme Court’s ruling that they must “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
I can’t even say the words, “Call or write your Representatives!” without throwing up in my mouth. They know what you want. They know what you need. The ones who would help you if they could cannot. The ones who could help you will not. Don’t be ridiculous.
What Then?
Back to Occam’s Razor, I have pondered this and pondered it, until I can’t ponder how I might ponder any more. For the life of me, I cannot see any way in which the American people escape this situation without a revolution. Not an economic boycott or strike, not another protest, not anything of the sort. An actual, old school revolution, just like the Founding Fathers.
Maybe you can see something that I don’t see. Let me know what I am missing here. Speak slowly and use small words.
