Any US coup would likely happen due to complacency on the Democratic side. I can easily imagine Biden going "We have to stand together in these hard times, not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans" and encouraging people to unite behind the coup leader.

Let a million CHAZes bloom, I guess. Maybe they intended to go to DC but were thrown off by the Google Maps thing. noidea

All of this makes me bring up a dream/nightmare ive had several times / a long time ago where i am apparently flying back into the US with a wife and kids and the airport security/check in people detain the wife and kids as they are... female. Fast forward to the US gov sending armed kids into a war vs women and in order for me to leave with my family i strike a deal with the sitting president, where my son has to have a kidney removed and kept in the US....


Weird dream.

Isn't it because Kansas elected a democratic governor 2 years ago and the far right in Kansas didn't like that ? And they're trying to use the general confusion to make a point ?

Normally the police should be rounding up everyone who breached the perimeter and they'd be facing justice ASAP, but strangely that's not the vibe I'm getting ????????

Only casualty I've heard of thus far is the young woman who got shot in the neck by a cop. Riot 101, sans willingness to use lethal force, not a lot you can do when you're that outnumbered, so it will continue to be permitted until you get overwhelming force. The NYPD and LAPD are the exception, rather than the rule, for municipal police forces.
