What these dumbasses (the ICE officers) aren't realizing is that this fascist administration wants these "agents" to get killed for stepping into the wrong house so they can use it as further justification for excessive force. Every ICE agent with boots on the ground is just a sacrificial lamb for their (the fascist regime's) racist agenda.
Edit: Added clarifications in parentheses.
Also, believe it or not, not every American owns a gun. The majority of those that do, own rifles intended for hunting or small handguns. Not weapons intended for military conflict. My SKS might deter a burglar, but it's just going to encourage a cadre of ICE agents to come in shooting.
and what other dumbasses aren't realizing is that force is going to be escalated regardless, so you might as well kill them instead of get killed
We all have to accept that if they break into our homes, we’re probably going to get killed by ICE regardless if we have a gun or not.
That being said, if we all have guns and manage to take out at least two of the mouth-breathing chuds before we die, they will eventually run out of mouth-breathing chuds.
K:D > 2:1 and it’s just a game of attrition.
Well you're getting butt fucked regardless so you might as well go out doing some butt fucking of your own. Give me 🗽 or give me ☠️‼️
Nonsense, if they get killed they very quickly stop acting like they have all the power and immunity, which they absolutely seem to still have. There is only ONE way to deal with bullies/narcissists/... and that is escalation.
Why wouldn't they just get bigger guns?
You mean drones?
Because they might die. They are not tough or smart or good at what they do, they are power tripping bullies. Trump is a narcissist. Both need their nose kicked in to change their behavior. When there is a serious chance of such consequences they will behave completely different.
And when escalation is exactly what the bullies/narcissists want?
Ah yes because Trump has any sort of grand plan, sure sure. Well I guess let's just bow down then and capitulate, the 5D chess expert will beat us anyway.
Not just any random escalation, though.
The narcissist has a plan they are following their game. If that escalation is part of their plan, that's is absolutely not how you deal with them. Escalate, by all means. But only in a way that benefits your situation.
