We both know it. What you're not taking into consideration is that the gooberment WILL go there. Just take one look at recent history ... and the lawlessness (not to mention corruption) of damn near every elected federal official.
YOO-gly indeed. Only way that's not happening if today's jack-booted nazis don't form skirmish lines. And, I'm sure we both know their intent is to collect their paychecks.
Personally, I think there won't be a better time to make something happen than the day they de-dollarize the United States. Too bad the one guy we probably could've gleaned some good information about that didn't stick around here and chat with us.
Nah, I took the government moving on the citizenry into consideration. There is no doubt they will - they always have, going all the way back to the Whiskey Rebellion under George Washington. Lots of folks talk about how the Army would NEVER fire on the citizens, but that ain't the way it's worked out, ever. They're given orders, they carry 'em out. During the Battle of Blair Mountain, just north of here, they actually DID drop bombs on us.
It's not a theoretical question, and it's nothing new. Some folks just don't want to see what's right in front of their face is all, so they deny it. No doubt there will be some deserters who refuse the orders to fire on their own, but the rest are gonna collect that paycheck, by hook or by crook. It's coming.
I just don't think it would be the T-man doing it. I could definitely see BidenHarris doing it, being as how he's already threatened the citizenry with nukes and F-15's. But Texas and California teaming up against anything at all, much less the feds? Nope. I don't see that happening, ever. They'd both be trying to watch their backs from their "ally", too busy to put any serious hurt on anyone.
What it looks to me like at the moment is we are being prepped to just accept whatever the gummint does, by dividing us against one another, painting any opposition at all as "the enemy" so that no one bats an eye when they toss some grenades at that "enemy"... and, right now, the folks being painted by the gummint as "the enemy" are anyone on the Right, or for that matter just anyone not toeing the Party Line. I can't help but notice how no one on the Left can manage to say "Republican" without adding a "MAGA" in front of that for propaganda effect... as if making America great again would be some kind of sin.
Well, to them I reckon it is.
It's been my observation over the years that when you start messin' with someone's money, that's when shit gets REAL. You can steal their wife or kick their dog, but screw with their money and it's ON!
