Chicken Hawks who wouldn’t go when they were called, but will happily send everyone else’s children to die for their oil.

As soon as HitlerPig starts his war, he’ll call for a draft. There is no way my son will fight in a MAGA War.

When I saw the pictures of the protests in multiple cities, I realized that ICE, law enforcement, and the military don’t stand a chance. They might be able to wipe out one protest, maybe even 2 or 3, but they could never get them all, and it’s likely they’d be spread so thin, they couldn’t significantly impact any of them.

They have to be looking at the sizes of those protests, and getting worried. And they know there are plenty more at home. All they have is intimidation, the fear of violence, but now they know they are badly outnumbered, and the people know it, too.

Crackdowns on these cities is a sign of panic, and panic is very dangerous. Stay alert, Patriots.

Eye catching, easy to carry, makes a memorable statement, and handy if things get froggy.

I like it, a lot.

Me, every day.

For my little Chloe, it’s deli meat. I don’t know how she does it, but she always knows. I could go to the kitchen 10 times, and she wouldn’t react, but if I quietly make a sandwich and bring it to the living room to eat while watching TV, she’s right there, purring for her share. You can’t sneak it past her, she always knows.

Not the hockey trophy.

It’s one of those big 40 oz insulated cups with a handle, lid, and straw. Put in some ice and cold water, and it will stay cold for 24 hours. They were made famous by the Stanley Tool company. The Stanley ones are about $45, but now there are lots of cheaper knockoffs. I got mine at Aldi for $13.

They’ve become an entire industry in themselves. They even make accessories for them. I saw a short news story on the wildly decorated house of a woman who designed a special purse that had two compartments, one for her stuff, and one for her big tumbler. She made them in all sorts of color combinations, and had them all displayed on shelves in her basement office. They’ve become extremely popular, and have made her rich.

Get one. They work great. I carry mine with me everywhere I go. When I leave a fast food place, I always fill my empty cup with ice, and dump it in my tumbler when I get in the car.

I’ll bet that’s way more about the “Stanley Cup” tumbler than you thought existed.

Not at all, my parents have neighbors of every type. Definitely NOT a segregated neighborhood, but they don’t like outsiders wandering the streets. The result is almost no crime at all of any kind.

The magic number to reach the 3.5% “Tipping Point” is about 12 million. We didn’t hit that on No Kings day, but we did pretty well. With protests scattered around the country, it’s hard to have an accurate count, but the massive crowds in large cities across America have to be intimidating to the MAGA Nazis.

It’s important to understand that while they want to have 12 million VISIBLE protesters, there are MANY more resistors at home who would never attend a protest for various reasons. Those people are still resistors in their own way, even if it’s just staying free of conservative propaganda and voting Democrat. Then there are people like me, who are unlikely to go to a demonstration, but actively oppose the MAGA Nazis online, in forums like Lemmy.

Add the keyboard warriors to the physical protesters, and that 3.5%/ 12 million Tipping Point looks a lot closer.

Personal cloaking devices.

My parents live in a gater community that prohibits rentals of less than 6 months. The community is gated to keep outsiders out, so allowing unverified strangers to rent a house for a night or a weekend would violate the most basic reasons for the neighborhood to exist.

My favorite beverage is a glass of ice water. Friends are always offering a beer or a soda, and all I want is a tall glass of ice water.

Now I carry a big Stanley cup of ice water everywhere I go.

I know two people who refuse to drink water, and even say that they HATE water.

Don’t eat cats, that’s gross.

Giggity!

We are doing something about it, but these things take time, and we are at the very beginning of the endgame. We can’t just say, “End this,” and it’s done. It happens in steps, and we’ve just started this journey.

One of the first steps is getting everyone on the same page, and that’s what’s happening now. The massive, growing protests are proof that this step is working.

Another step is getting warm, comfortable, well-fed Americans to understand that their comfort will soon be coming to an end of they don’t do something about it. Even if they do something, it’s a good bet that there will be a few years of ferocious unrest before things settle back down. People aren’t ready for that yet, but if the MAGA Nazis keep it up, they will eventually provoke people into fighting back.

There are political Red Lines they would be advised not to cross, such as suspending elections. That would cause an enormous resistance, probably violent. No reason to be polite to those who have stolen our country.

Then there are personal Red Lines, which are different for each person. Right now, I wouldn’t get violent because my family needs me to keep a roof over their heads. I can’t get thrown in prison or killed. But I have family members that are members of vulnerable groups that the MAGA Nazis have declared to be enemies. If anything were to happen to family members, especially my son, I would have nothing left to lose, and would become VERY dangerous.

Bottom line: I no longer have any fantasies about dying at an old age. I have come to terms with the idea that my life may have a twist ending I wasn’t expecting. If the time comes that I have to fight back, I will do it, but I’m still hoping to avoid it, and make the MAGA Nazis pay for their treason and crimes through legal means.

Wow.

If I have to run from the cops, I hope it’s one of these specimens that is chasing me. I’m pretty sure I can run faster and farther before these guys have to stop and throw up.

ABC, too.

I believe both Penn and Gladwell used the 3.5% quantity for a Tipping Point.

There was never a time for “strongly worded letters.” Republicans never bought into that weak shit, and now they rule everything.
