Federal agents: "No."

Your move, Walz. Your constituents are being murdered in the street. Are you going to grow a pair and actually do something? Or are you just gonna keep talking like a worthless fucking politician?

That's a good way to get the military to start bombing US cities.

Look more closely at the comments. We're getting overrun with people trying to start shit, many of whom are not even from here.

the internet is 70% manufactured now. one side has trolls/bots/accelerationists telling americans to fight and sacrifice themselves and burn brightly triggering a conflict. other side has trolls/bots/sheep telling republicans to disregard what the feds are doing and to remain sheep to prolong the conflict by denying the opposition the support.

worst case scenario: Tim Walz calls in more national guard.

instant federalization of national guard.

instant insurrection act.

mass shootings of civilians by the army/national guard.

people upload federal agent brutality on US tiktok, US tiktok sends data to feds, uploaders are blown up in their own home at night with israel style targeting using Lavender, Wheresdaddy, Gospel.

fpv drone bombings of civilians normalized by the administration under the comfort of their new bunker system.

civil war we can't get out of, canada/mexico refuses to help as duck dynasty groups form nationwide to sadistically terrorize/execute entire cities in a nightmare type of scenario.

I am killed by a federal FPV drone in my own home after my voting record is scanned.

putin and xi talking about immortality and the already changed world order during post nut clarity after having a private session together.

likely scenario: nothing happens ice pulls out to other states.

one death a week by ice thugs becomes a common thing people just get use to

midterms happens, repubs get wiped.

2018 dejavu trump gets upset and attempts to manufacture something to overturn the election results.

most democrats that won do fuckall and get themselves into the stockmarket.

kash patel unlocks a new facial expression as he evolves further into degeneracy.

trump succumbs to dementia/stroke/alloftheabove

vance becomes the new president, the heritage foundation, opus dei and other shadowy groups hold secret meetings for more evil planning.

I hate this timeline.

If I were in his shoes, I'd be really fucking reluctant to give any order that would result in a bloodbath. I mean, we can all guess by now that it will end up that way, but I don't think we should be so quick to condemn a man that doesn't lightly order violence.

Pressure him into taking action, because that pressure may ease the weight of responsibility, but understand that it's a heavy weight to bear. Pretty sure he didn't go into that job expecting to face a civil war.

What's with this apologism for feckless liberals? He doesn't have to order the National Guard to open fire on ICE, but he could start with, you know, not sending state police to brutalize protestors at the site of the most recent public execution.

I don't give a fuck if he feels a heavy weight, it's nothing compared to the families of the dead. Dead because of an institution his party funded just as often as the Republicans did. It's time for him to rise to the occasion or (infinitely more likely) time for us to recognize there's no spine in his body and it depends entirely on us - which means he's against us.
