This is what happens when you spend too much of your public education and mental healthcare budgets on bombing other countries instead.

They boast about how they're better at making war than the effeminate liberals yet none of these wannabe patriots seem to have any knowledge of military strategy.

While this is all true, one sad part is that these wannabe patriots think & actually believe that they're being patriotic when they pull this BS. They believe the lies trump and the right wing media propaganda machine tells them and firmly believe that they're "rescuing America," from an "illegitimate President," - the "Biden regime," that's been "installed," by the "Leftist media." etc etc blah blah blah these people are convinced that trump is their messiah and can't see that he's just a mentally ill old man that can't accept that he lost the election because his fragile psyche can't process it.

Because of all of this, the USA and American Democracy is in for a WILD RIDE in the months and years ahead.

Hopefully Canada just keeps the border closed for "Covid," reasons... Sadly, I think they're on the verge of reopening it due to pressure from the USA to get dollars flowing back and forth ASAP. :/

↑ True, that.

Those who participated in the coup attempt of January 6, and those who continue to insist the election was stolen, do not seem to think of themselves as domestic terrorists, but as patriots in the mold of Samuel Adams.

Meanwhile, in reality, they've simply been knocking back too many Sam Adams after work.. or around the clock to kill that many brain cells. :P

Covid won't last forever. Are you sure you don't want to build a wall to keep out the millions of Americans who will be fleeing their increasingly third world country?

Speaking of a civil war, these folks that "don't recognize" our laws seem to be finding out that our laws don't recognize that.

Massachusetts standoff that partially closed I-95 ends with nine in custody

Happy 4th of July...

On the bright side, the US Armed Services just did ~30 years of training in the Middle East to hone their skills at tracking down and eliminating the threats of terrorists, rebels, insurgents, political & religious extremists and others.. time to put that whole "defend the constitution from enemies both foreign and domestic," thing to work!

How many in the military and police support the insurrectionists? Probably too many for my comfort.

Many of the domestic terrorist supporters learned their tactics while serving so just like with the Taliban, America has trained her new biggest threat.

This happened in Germany but it illustrates how both members of the military and police are heavily involved in far right movements/militia and how governments like the US cover up their involvement to avoid scaring the public as to how they literally have no control over their own police/defence forces political views.

Charlottesville, anti-BLM riots and the Capitol riots involved members of the military and the police force. Many of those involved evaded identification or arrest slipping quietly back into the community.

If there is a second civil war in America the Right will have all the guns and ammo while the Left will be armed with bongs and sex toys.
