It's not simply trump. He's just the talking head. The truth is probably far more dark.
It is and its publicly available information. Peter Thiel is one of the biggest players here and has said, on tape, that he wants to destroy democracy and America.
Mississippi has the second highest homicide rate in the country and they’re sending troops to DC to harass the homeless and anyone with brown skin. Maybe deal with your own shitty state first before invading others.
I'm from there. Many people there genuinely believe Mississippi is a better, safer State than most others in the country. And they absolutely believe Trump is saving the US from the liberals.
I cannot stress that enough, they actually believe progressives have been ruining the country since the 90s and that conservatives have been trying to save it.
I’m curious how it goes when you try reasoning with anyone. Do they just brush off what you say as lies?
Many people are so indoctrinated or poorly educated, or both, that they think you're the one who's ignorant or spreading misinformation. In my experience, at least.
Well, Mississippi is also one of the worst ranked in education.
You can’t reason people out of positions they didn’t reason themselves into.
What the fuck is happening? Now Mississippi is sending their National guard. I swear this is going to turn into an American Reichstag fire or another Tulsa race riot, considering the demographic of DC, I can see these southern racists equating cleaning up DC to getting rid of as much of the black population as possible
Thats it. Every day my son of at his moms and I’m financially able, I’m spending it protesting in DC.
Would be really cool if the hundreds of NG troops from the assorted states were to get together and capture the crime boss with 34 felonies and counting. Then pick up all the willing homeless people and bring them to shelter in the big white house at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. I hear it's got lots of bedrooms and bathrooms, and excellent staff, kitchen, and entertainment areas, even medical facilities!
It looks like the south actually won the civil war.
Because the north didn’t fuck them hard enough. When you take antibiotics, you take the full course to make sure the infection is completely eradicated. America didn’t take its full course of treatment and look what it grew back into.
That's why I've always said Andrew Johnson was our worst president. Or I used to.
How dare that shithole state or its politicians make judgment on anywhere else in the world, especially having the highest percentage of non-diploma earners who have never left their county in their life
Why are all of the shittiest states sending their resources to dc when not even asked? Couldn't they use those resources in their own states? Like Texas just had crazy floods. Couldn't the national guard be helping them rebuild instead?
It's hurricane season and the 20th anniversary of Katrina... Choices.
Thats a lot of redcoats
The only acceptable outcome from all of this is that it will pave the way for DC to become the 51st state.
Weird that all the states with the lowest educational standards are lining up to help a felon rapist pedophile.
Who would have ever thought it could behoove a corrupt authoritarian government to keep people uneducated. If only I knew about other governments using the same tactic throughout history. Oh well, I can always just ask Grok to teach me about it.
The irony that Mississippi is sending troops to supposedly stop crime it's just so fucking funny. Has Louisiana done it yet? Cuz that would make it even worse.
Yep, they did it almost immediately after MS
Probably the first time a lot of those mississippi troops had left the state in their whole lives.
All these state governors are just so happy to sit in daddy trumps cuck chair. It would be hilarious if it weren’t also terrifying.
How many troops will they need to police the capitals of all blue states? I feel like we are gonna run out of guardsmen soon
About 250,000 to start, probably closer to 1.5 million by the time responses start.
