It’s happened before.

I believe most Americans are decent people who are often slow to exhibit decency.

If that makes any sense.

But you’re gonna have to decide if your chosen bogeyman is a bunch of pussies or a violent threat.

Good luck. 👍

Claimed the anonymous coward. 👍

An imperial occupation invites insurgency.
I saw that in Iraq 2004/05.
Made perfect sense to me, but some of my colleagues paid the ultimate price for our ignorance.
There is a threshold of violence against the citizenry that would create a backlash against Trump that we haven’t reached yet.
October 2, 2025 at 9:55 PM
I agree.

Which is why my liberal nationalism has been exorcised from me in a most uncomfortable way.
It’s time to change the culture of the Democratic Party.

Citizens United ushered in an era of dark politics and money being injected into our political system.
When the Democratic Party regains power, this would be my top priority.

I’m partial to the way Gandhi expelled the British Empire from India.
Violence is only a last option and that means we have to endure for now.

I think it would have been better if the armistice signed in 1918 didn’t suffocate the Weimar Republic to the point where Hitler seemed like a viable option. Hitler was not that popular in 1933.
October 2, 2025 at 9:36 PM
Good point.

A nationwide strike would end Trump quicker than armed rebellion.
October 2, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Invading American cities who don’t align with Trump, and that’s most of them, will be a threshold of no return.
October 2, 2025 at 9:33 PM
If Trump orders the military to engage with American citizens then I would expect mass resignations among our generals and staff officers. Many enlisted will as well, but probably not as many as you’d like.
October 2, 2025 at 9:31 PM
They have repeatedly deprived citizens of their Constitutional rights and will continue to do so. Local police departments are huge Trump supporters.
October 2, 2025 at 9:29 PM
Patience and steely resolve.

The way to get rid of tyrants is to outlive them.
October 2, 2025 at 9:28 PM
I see the same thing, but I disagree on the solution.

Widespread violence against Trump and his agencies will create a backlash that will ensure his authoritarian policies for another generation.
The thing to keep in mind about Trump is that he fucks up everything, including his own agenda.
October 2, 2025 at 9:27 PM
Nah…

Trump isn’t long for this world and the Cult will die with him.

We’re gonna have to beat him at the ballot box.
October 2, 2025 at 9:21 PM
This is unfortunate, but this occurs daily throughout the United States against citizens.
I have far more trust and respect for the military than I do with local police departments and ICE.
FWIW, we had a nickname for the Military Police (MP’s) in the Marine Corps and it was Mommas Pu****s.
October 2, 2025 at 9:19 PM
Now is not the time to make rash decisions regarding being openly defiant with Trump and his policies.
That’s what he wants, IMO, and to go that route with him would invite calamity. Many, if not a majority, of Americans support his immigration policies, illegal though they may be.
October 2, 2025 at 9:15 PM
Note: if anyone approaches me wearing a mask and military grade weapons will be treated as a hostile threat and my ROE’s are in full effect.
October 2, 2025 at 9:02 PM
My impression of the recent meeting with the generals and Trump is that Trump was met with stone silence and a quite serious professional attitude.
ICE, on the other hand, is Trump’s paramilitary force and I see no evidence that they’re exhibiting any professionalism.
October 2, 2025 at 9:01 PM
Indeed they are.
October 2, 2025 at 8:54 PM
My rule of engagement is when fired upon fire back.
Otherwise, I use my vote and civic engagement to alter the equation.
I loathe the sniveling authoritarianism that he has ushered in and his supporters.
I’m not going to engage in violent rebellion because ICE personnel are breaking the law.
October 2, 2025 at 8:30 PM
That would apply to many militaries throughout history so can’t really disagree there.
Where I was when I enlisted in 1989 and where I’m at now are two very different places.
