ChamELON, he always changes himself to hide from danger and for predation on the lower classes.

If true, I am expecting the US to pull out of NATO and to formally ally with Russia. The EU should declare on Russia right now and kill Putin before that can happen.

I would prefer Akumetsu myself. It is basically if the Punisher and Joker did a fusion dance, and made it their mission to take down corrupt politicians. Luigi taken up to 11.

I hope Trump lives long enough, that we can Nuremberg Peter Thiel and other leaders of Project 2025. The odds of that go down if the neoconfederates have an effective leader.

IMO, other nations like Canada, Germany, and so forth will have relations with the Blue States in a civil war. Trump’s regime is a terrible trading partner, dishonest, evil, abrasive, and generally just unlikable for anyone who has good sense or pragmatism. During the 1st American Civil War, the South had major issues, because they didn’t have much trade with Europe - which meant supply shortages, a lack of wealth, and so forth. That cotton may have been picked by slaves, but isn’t going to become lucre if it sits in a warehouse.

After awhile, when the Blue States have a more formal coalition, I think Europe will go beyond trade to offer war support. That is the sort of thing that needs troops to be readied, mentally and materially. It would be kinda like how America was in the leadup to Pearl Harbor. We were doing stuff to indirectly support the Allies, even if our blood wasn’t spilt.

From what I recall from Behind the Bastards, a major part of Hitler’s bloc was the upper middle-class. Shopkeepers, factory managers, so on. It basically came down to the opportunity to eliminate wealthy Jews, and taking their stuff - fancy furniture, buildings, their businesses, ect. The destruction of the Jews was a matter of greed that happened to fit hand-in-glove with racist ideology.

Presumably, it will be Blue States providing the R&D, infrastructure, and rehired federal workers. It won’t ever be perfect, but probably better than your solution for territories that aren’t controlled by the Trump Regime.

Someone should bring European floats and put them on the parade path.

That would happen anyways. They got the DMV, voting records, Palantir, and so forth. This is more about ensuring that we can trust our own folks - whip out a phone, check if the app gives a legit profile, and then let the person pass through a checkpoint or join up with an activity.

I hope Newsom puts forward legislation to eliminate the Mulford Act. That would give the Neoconfederates serious pause.

Not entirely on topic, but I think we should have armed guards for our schools. They and other people in the movement against Trump should have an verifiable ID, so that fake protectors can’t prey on folks. Here is an ID that I mocked up.

Paired with an secure database and legitimate app built for it, we can use a QR code for people to use. Name, picture, role in the movement, home state, medical information, and so forth can be provided through it. In this fashion, we can keep people safer. Plus, in the event of open war, our casualties can be more easily identified. This might save lives, since the medical information can allow for more tailored treatment. EG: Penicillin allergies.

Being an open source program, the Blue States can modify it for their own taxation apparatus. The money intended for the Federal can be held in escrow, then released into service of the states if the Federal doesn’t negotiate with the Blue States in good faith.

I think it is a mix of Reconstruction being cancelled and the perpetrators of the Business Plot going unpunished for their attempted coup of FDR.

By just giving slaps on the wrist, the failsons of our society get to pass on their beliefs and resources to their children. We need to at least remove the latter. Their wealth can be used to fund our institutions, such as NOAA, CDC, FEMA, infrastructure, universal healthcare, and more.

I think that California and the Blue States will make good use of this, considering the shit that the Trump Regime has been pulling.

I have to agree, it is very weird that people treat their society like an thing set in stone.

I was thinking feeding him McDonald hamburgers, Matilda style.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a meme causes Trump to send troops somewhere, only for it to turn out to be a trap.

They don’t need excuses, the Regime will just manufacture one.

What we should do is develop mutual aid and federate factions together. Black Panthers should escort peaceful protestors, and peaceful protestors should render medical assistance, supplies, and shelter to those who must engage in conflict. Peaceful protest and violent resistance are the anvil and hammer of democracy.

By trying to prevent people from considering violence, the hammer of reform is stolen from us. We shouldn’t allow this to happen, as it serves the interests of those who want to oppress us.

Australia does hire foreigners onto their forces.

International Recruitment - Your experience can make a real difference in Queensland.

Besides, history is a wild and wooly thing that isn’t set in stone. Before FDR and the Great Depression, most Americans wouldn’t have considered the possibility of huge socialist programs such as Social Security. Besides, if a civil war happens, what is “American” will be redefined, simply because the respective sides would have different ideologies. Before the War for Independence, many Americans considered themselves to be British.

Crack open any volume of “The Cartoon History of the Universe”, and you will see something very apparent: Nations and their people change all the time. It is just for you and me, history looks slow, so we can’t easily recognize changes when they are happening.

If we want to change America for the better, we must be willing to discard “traditional” thought. It is when we refuse to consider possibilities, that “tradition” decays into “stagnation”.

We can start from scratch - kill one department and replace it at a time. We probably could hire from Finland and other countries abroad to start clean-sheet academies to raise our first decade or so of officers. They put a great deal of effort and time into training their police, and we can pay them for services rendered. Finland might appreciate our supply of MRAPs and other surplus military gear, considering who they share borders with.
