The fact that the dems in that state managed to make it a weeks-long standoff is itself a small victory.

I’m assuming they put this in place because it’s entirely ambiguous and they can say it means whatever they want it to mean

It’s what they want. Violent protests, declare martial law, no more elections.
jcamp404.bsky.social (@jcamp404.bsky.social) reply parent
That’s not strictly true. History is complicated, especially around the time of ww2 ending. The marshal plan and formation of nato certainly wasn’t seen as friendly acts by Russia and the US is not entirely innocent. That being said, fuck Putin.

I’ve lived here for 10. Downtown Orlando. So many good people, the weather in the winter is amazing, an unlimited supply of very close fun tourist things and resorts and this state is really beautiful.

Okay sure, that’s correct. But also, the dems over the years… cowards. Garland. The courts. The various presidents from both sides. There’s lots to blame (big picture) for why we are where we are. But yeah, agree with the sentiment.

Yeah so, look I could talk about how extrapolating a statistic from a subgroup and applying it at a macro level is inaccurate or even talk about confirmation bias but honestly I feel like you’re just already convinced of this and nothing I or anyone else says will change your mind.

This is a ridiculous take. Not everything has to be political. Not every company needs to or should weigh in on politics. Maybe we could all do with just a little less politics in our lives. I’m not fine with how things are, but I don’t want to be reminded of our collective shitshow 24/7

Adulation of the state != leaning into kleptocracy. Last I checked the kleptos are on the right and the left is going crazy trying to save democracy.

I hear that and I’m with you. We’ve done a terrible job of enforcing it, even though it’s codified into the absolute core of our laws (the constitution).

The only value any currency - including fiat - has is the value we attribute to it. Crypto has no more or less value than the dollar or the ruble, except the variations in value we the people attribute to it. All money is fake.

Seems to me like you want to believe this is happening widespread, even without evidence which is more of a faith based argument or conspiratorial thinking than reason. There are much bigger problems in the world, but hey, it’s your life. You do you.
jcamp404.bsky.social (@jcamp404.bsky.social) reply parent
I feel like you’re proving my point. That’s an anecdote, not statistical information that it’s happening at scale.
jcamp404.bsky.social (@jcamp404.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m curious where you’re hearing that this happens _at scale_. Sure, maybe you can drudge up one or even two weird ass stories of crazy ass people doing this, but to warrant a real concern of this it would have to be widespread. Source?

Why do I doubt it? Because I live on a street called “church street” that’s lines with churches. They’re all big, impressive buildings that are clear doing better than “getting by”. Religion is a scam and always has been.

I hate to break it to ya bud, but this country was founded with very strict and explicit separations between church and government. My right to dislike religion is founded in the very core of the origins of this nation, echoed by many of the founders.
