“Insurrectionists carrying foreign flags are attacking immigration enforcement officers, while one half of America’s political leadership has decided that border enforcement is evil,” Vice President JD Vance said in a post on X Saturday night.

Big yikes. "Insurrectionists"? Bloody hell.

How is a peaceful protest in LA an "Insurrection," while violently attacking cops and raiding the Capitol to stop the certification of the vote, is not?

[–] Reviever@lemmy.world 2 points 52 minutes ago

you know why

Every accusation is an admission.

Conservatism was the original reactionary movement, and it essentially sought to restore the nobility within democracy, complete with the different rules applying to said ingroup. Modern conservatism only differing in the sense that its supporters really want to become part of said ingroup.

conservatism/liberterinism,dont realize the ingroups, are the oligarchs only.

the point of protesting is the escalation. this is success.

[–] Recent@lemmy.world 9 points 13 hours ago

The authorities wouldn't send the National Guard if they thought they could just ignore you. So i'd say this is a success.

Could this be the start of the Second American Civil War?

I predicted over six months ago that the US wouldn't make it past July 4th, 2025. Only a few weeks away and reporters are being shot by police and posse comitatus has been violated. Soon the actual armed forces of your nation will be in the streets and you will have a choice to make.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 3 points 2 hours ago

No, they'll keep escalating through next summer. By then, we'll have had hyperinflation, food shortages, Luigi's trial, deportations of naturalized/ birthright citizens, arrests of elected officials, etc. and things will get really ugly. That's when the MAGA Nazis will have their Tiananmen Square moment, probably in multiple cities, and HitlerPig will declare Martial Law, and suspend the Midterm election for the first time in American history. That will protect his Congressional majorities, and keep the Democrats from gaining any investigative, subpoena, or arrest powers. Once elections are suspended, he's president forever.

THAT will be the end.

Meh...this reminds me of the Portland riots a few years ago. Shit was crazy and really intense but the U.S. didn't fall apart if that is what you are alluding to. We just kept on picking up our shovels and shovelling shit.

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Portland doesn't control anything in the US. It's not even among the top 10 cities. LA is a totally different deal.

Even LA won't mean the end of the government, but a military attack on one of the biggest cities in America is a enormous warning to the resistance that the MAGA Nazis are willing to do ANYTHING.

If any other nation launched a military attack on LA, we would absolutely consider it an act of war, and if the MAGA Nazis use the military against American citizens exercising their 1st Amendment rights, ALL American citizens should also consider it an act of war against us by our own government.

Talk to me when the marines land in LA.
