Yeah, imagine if the money we are throwing away on the ICEstapo were to be put to use in building affordable homes. Turbo-charge something like Habitat for Humanity....
But that might let minorities actually compete,which would be unfair /s
Do yourselves a favor chicago. Strike.
At this point, blue areas of the country just need to stop paying federal taxes entirely and use the taxes to just better themselves and themselves only. Starve the federal government. MAGA has no idea how much funding is actually from blue states and blue cities within red states, and it's best they find the fuck out.
And 3D print a large quantity of caltrops. See how far the weekend warriors will get on flat tires.
So the asshat went on twitter and posted some stupid AI image of him like he's in fucking Apocalypse Now and essentially declared war on a US city.
and the US will do nothing about this and continue to let him run rough shot over the nation while news articles come out left right and center stating "what he's doing is illegal!" US democrats will also shout "what he's doing is illegal!" what I've come to learn about the current US Political system "nothing is illegal if there are zero consequences"
Honestly at this point what's to stop him from just saying "There will be no more elections, I'm in charge for life and when I die I will pass down leadership to my next of kin" who would stop him at this point? I honestly don't think anyone will.
If anything the media is sanewashing harder than ever as they're like, "oh the economy is starting to flash red lights, and nothing to worry about yet, but it could be bad" bitch please there's a goddamn economic armageddon coming and a disease one to follow, but OK let's keep everyone calm.
Hate to be the guy but this was all said back in October of 2023. We failed and people are still not getting it. Its soon to be midterms and no one has gotten the message yet. Just sad to see people so out of touch.
The scare quotes are not needed in this case.
Many Chicagoans will actually lose their shit if they try this. Chicago doesn't take kindly to fascism. If they shoot one single US citizen it will be Trump tower that burns down.
Chicago doesn’t take kindly to fascism.
Have you heard about the Chicago police department? They literally operate their own black site.
If they shoot one single US citizen it will be Trump tower that burns down.
Even before they shoot someone, that'd be a nice outcome.
Well you’all have guns so what are you afraid of?
