Theyd only be raiders so long as nobody decides to wipe them out, and frankly speaking theyd probably get whittled down by most folks over time. Hell I could see raiders from sub-urban areas being the basis for a polis system emerging in red states.

The most annoying thing is that in most acronyms two letter words are usually ignored. Thusly it would be DGE but musk is a brain dead Saxon African deserving of little more than a shotgun enema, so why should I expect any ammount of intelligence.

Honestly part of me wants to stream just riding a motorcycle and generally pissing about just as a counter to these idiots. I have a weird tendency for just seeing weird shit that even if im boring itd still be kinda interesting. I saw a wizard in fucken out in Yucca Valley a couple weeks ago, imagine if I was on a bike streaming that wouldve been great.

I am also elder Gen Z and im really fucken hoping its just our version of Gen X and Boomers being confused about Dragon Ball Z fights. Otherwise I hope the runts get trial by fired and knock it off.

If I had to guess its probably because the stste was kinda in a weird place when digital products were first becoming a thing so it was never implemented, and now nobody cares enough to try.

Hey everything on steam is the listed price if ya live in California. We dont have a digital sales tax, which is weird.

Fun fact, when I bought my K-bar I was with my grandmother and she asked me why I didnt get a butterfly knife instead. I literally quoted the weapon of terror line, also I pointed out how I have destroyed many pocket knives and its probably better to just get a solid piece of steel.

Erik the Red converted to Christianity because his wife refused to have sex with him until he did.

They forgot the butter side of that equation, which is to say I kinda doubt their logistics would be good enough to sustain a war. Worse case scenario ya get some lefty rednecks give em some horses and tell them to got wild on the infrastructure.

The military was almost completely reworked between Vietnam and Desert Storm. They were getting tired of having to deal with the paper work for fragging, accidental friendly fire, and junior officers getting the shit beat out of them. Also a lot of the reforms had to do with ethics and rules of engagement, Vietnam was a fucken PR nightmare and the military did not want to deal with that shit ever again.

Its actually a bit dumber than just that. The sovcits want the sheriff’s to collect taxes, im pretty sure my county sheriff would sooner kill themselves rather than even think about such a suicidal idea.

Yeah, I also suspect he may be dumb enough to do something like dissolve the IRS. Which would more or less destroy all forms of federal governmental power both soft and hard. Its something rhe sovcits have wanted for decades and I would not be surprised in the least if he got convinced by one.

Why did my brain start playing the Lythero version of attack of the killer queen.

This just made me think, are nachos a salad. Im leaning yes because of egg salad and macoroni salad.

This is basically my reasoning as well, he will most likely be eaten alive by the true believers and power brokers will break him over knee. All of Vance’s influence is derived from Trump. And especially if Trunp dies before inauguration he may very well become irrelevant depending on certain factors.

I live in an area with veterans and its a bit more of a mixed bag. Most of them are dissolutioned with the system, its not that they dont have political leanings they just hate both. The ones who are politically active are usually lowd and dumb as fuck Republicans, the JD Vance type. The few I met who were commissioned officers were fucking feral and had nothing good to say about the right.

Remember the split in the veterans will be based broadly on education similar to the general public. And frankly speaking the actual folks at the Pentagon are pretty well educated.

Also I will happily admit that this is me hoping for a somewhat workable scenario. Im Californian which means I am in the perfectly cooked chicken zone of this soon to be nuclear blast, watching a bunch of mush brained dipshits play with the nuke. I practically cant do fuck all.

Luckily the chain of command helps dilute the worst of this type of effect. As I understand it most orders will have to go through the folks at the Pentagon first and they could very well just say no or otherwise pull some malicious compliance.

Reminder the military has a more or less parallel system to the civil system. Its entirely possible they may just decide to separate themselves more or less.

Honestly fhe worst that can happen is the engine decides its in fact a fire pit. Otherwise it will just be a boring ass breakdown, transmission failure is pretty common in military vehicles as a general rule. Reminder the US military is a logistics network with an army meaning that just cause they can keep a vehicle running doesnt mean even the oversized budget of LAPD can.

Honestly a good amount of that shit is of questionable function, reminder most of the good shit is going to the national guard first. The police are at best using old ass NVG and optics, maybe they have a functional IFV but itll be of questionable maintenance. My local police department gave up and just has the Sheriff department do anything that requires more than a rifle, mostly cause the mechanics refused to work on the humvee they got.

Also the police arent exactly trained for an actual resistance movement, itll be likely a more embarrassing version of the union and county wars.

Unironically yes.
