America is fracturing right before our eyes.

[Jacson6]

I wonder how many Hispanic CA national guard members will not show up? All they will lose is once a month drill pay and any college payment stipend they receive.

1. Honestly, I hope I'm wrong, but I don't expect any young men to side with the US constitution on this

Seems they have almost all fallen in love with Trump/Elon/Putin. And they are eliminating women from the military

[Irish_Dem]

2. Yes young men have gone to the dark side.

Males have been falling behind in terms of a college education, job skills.
job promotions, salary, etc.

Women are doing all of that, plus taking care of the house and kids.

Women don't need men any more. And instead of figuring it out
and growing up, men blame women and want to take them back to the dark ages.

[Walleye]

3. I think this is a real problem. Possibly the main one.

[Irish_Dem]

4. It is one of the main problems yes.

But it is way more than that.

The US congress, court system, media refuse to do their jobs and have
aligned with the dictatorship.

[Walleye]

5. Especially the media we always counted on. They prefer fascism apparently

[Irish_Dem]

6. The media works for the PutinGOP.

Yes they have aligned with the global fascists and billionaires.

7. This is what happens when your country keeps electing..

the lowest common denominator.

When Bush 2 was selected, I was appalled at how
poor a candidate he was... not very smart, a coke
user, and a person with daddy issues latching onto
Dick Cheney to tell him what to dol.

My mother used to call him King George since he
wasn't really elected.

Our electoral system got compromised too, once
Tom Delay set the Brooks brothers on the Dade
county election office.

With Bush 1 I could see the Republican party veerng
to the right. Bush wasn't originally that rightwing, but
he had to move with the party... and that was because
of racism. The Dixiecrats were going Republican now,
and they wanted Civil Rights gone and plutocrats to rule.

It took awhile, but the lowest kept getting lower in the red
states. The were mean and autocratic. Voting rights were
curbed and it became easier to game elections in the former
confederate states.

Then the trend towards racism and autocracy spread to the
rustbelt states, the media moved to the right, and now here
we are being governed by people so low we don't really know
what the bottom is any .more.

8. A,very dear friend of mine

Has a son who is an Army Ranger. He has voted for Trump three times.

We need to start looking to the Bloods and Crips to save us. I'm deadly serious - because they are deadly.

[TnDem]

9. Uh..no

Bloods and Crips are not as deadly as an average US Army soldier that graduated from Ranger school with their tab.

Average inner city gang members would shoot 150 rounds from their "gat" missing everything but their 8 year old neighbor while the Ranger would shoot 50 rounds and effectively hit 35 times.

11. It might be the only way

For Black Americans who do not already own firearms to obtain one.

There is a Black Gun club meeting on private rural land today in my county and I'll be teaching these women how to shoot .308 Winchesters.

The advice I've given on that purchase came from my dad (first class of Green Berets) when he used to take us up to Watertown and the Adirondacks for survival training. He had a DEEP hatred for all things Russian and was convinced they would one day invade. He was right.

A .308 is ideal for hunting deer which means it can also be used against white folks who try to pull a Tulsa in NJ.

Stop thinking its JUST the military - we have a history of white Americans being given a Green Light to murder, rape and pillage. You are our secret weapon. My husband is too.

[Kaleva]

13. A .308 would be ideal for sniper work but not close quarter fighting

For most people, carrying around a gun that’s capable of firing a high powered round such as the .308 24/7 isn’t practical.

[Nonnia Bisnez]

10. I would not recommend not showing up.

They'll get in huge trouble. They need to show up and tell their leader they won't point their weopen at unarmed civilians because it would be illegal for them to do so.

[malaise]

12. IS BEING FRACTURED

By the Executive Branch and militia kiyal to it.
That is all.

Oh stock upon basics.
