So, when that pig Trump sends troops into Chicago, will he send them into the high crime areas over close to the Indiana side, or will he plant them on Michigan Avenue so they can tend to the flowers in those flower boxes on the Mag Mile?

In theory, yes. But that law seems to apply more to white folks, say, stalking a black teenager through a neighborhood more than a brown person being kidnapped by a masked coward. However, it’s bound to happen sometime, at which point we will see if there are any laws left.
Ian Harper (@ianhar01.bsky.social) reply parent
I feel that someone is ultimately not going to take kindly to being kidnapped by cowards in masks, and then the shit will really hit the fan.

Yes, problem is after his last administration, it’s evident that there are not enough decent republicans to make it possible. I really think it will come down to the people. Mass (and I do mean MASS) demonstrations, strikes, nationwide boycotts.

Republicans don’t believe in government. They believe in ruling and they believe they’re entitled to rule. To them, democracy and equal rights are an affront to their god-given right to rule. Our mistake is assuming they operate under the same values as we do. We should stop doing that.

That's a big problem in the South. Reconstruction was stopped quickly when Andrew Johnson became president.
Ian Harper (@ianhar01.bsky.social) reply parent
We never properly dealt with, as a nation, the Civil War and aftermath, Carpetbagging, Jim Crow, and the feeling that an awful lot of Southerners have of being repressed and looked down on. It's a muti-generational issue. My state (TN) keeps ignorance and hatred alive and provides little.

Seems to me that the incessant attempts at polarization may achieve the goal of splitting up the U.S. if they continue. The gerrymandering in this upcoming voting cycle will continue to segregate us by extreme political viewpoints. Soon, there will be no contested seats left. Just political camps.
