    You don’t think if the government started sending drones after pickups that they wouldn’t gain more popular support?

        The gov would gain some too. From me at least.

        It’s starting to feel a bit like the biggest problems (climate, billionaires, guns, inequality) in the world will need such huge changes to the status quo, that something massive will have to happen to initiate it.

        I hope I’m wrong though.

      Words and anger? Definitely. Support/action? Very likely no.

      It’s the same problem AQA & ISIS have: you are powerless against the drone without MADPADs, and you aren’t getting those - maybe not even with proxy state support. How does the ‘Trump Train’ achieve anything beyond banditry-level terrorism, against an air power with PGMs?
