      I’m always surprised how Americans think they’ll get a trial from doing this instead of being shot back at.

        I mean in the past white spree shooters have been taken into custody alive frequently. It really just depends. My guess is most ICE agents would flee a shooter faster than the Uvalde cops.

    They want us to riot in the big cities, so they can declare martial law and cancel the mid-term elections.

      People should be rioting though… How else do we stop our own government from kidnapping and killing our neighbors?

      The only other effective solution I can think of is citizen sabotage, but that’s like rioting in the shadows.

      I started saying this as soon as he got into office, and they got right to abusing people, and everybody laughed at me. All these months later, and it is the accepted timeline by everybody.

      He has no intention of ever leaving office, and they will do literally ANYTHING to preserve their power. Get ready.

      Failing that, they want ICE goons at every polling place in major cities to make sure people don’t show up.

      Elections are controlled by the states. They can’t cancel them, they can only ask the states to do so.

    The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

    I figure you could isolate any one of them and they would be catatonic in the fetal position sucking their thumb at the slightest sign of violence.

    Minnesota borders Canada. I doubt there’s a moose load of illegal Canadians coming across the border so what’s Border Patrol doing there other than to harass people?
