Exactly my thought. This could be a watershed moment. Newsom shitposting is one thing. Pritzker standing at the ramparts could be something entirely different.

JB would do it, too, I believe. I'm really thankful to live in Illinois right now.

I don’t see us getting through this time without some, shall we say, confrontations. I hope our leaders rally around the Constitution and the rule of law as our North Stars in the face of this blatantly criminal authoritarian regime.

Far too many people are trying to work within the system when Trump gives zero fucks about it

More than that, I hope the rank and file members of our military do. I could see this devolving into the military fighting against each other, with those who are upholding their oath to the constitution on one side and the good Germans on the other.

He wants violence so he could use the Insurrection Act.

There won’t be violence. Pritzker will handle this according to the letter of the law and the Constitution.

Neither of which count for much right now, have you noticed?

It might not bei up to Pritzker but uncontrolled people. Pritzker is my governor and much respect for him but if a Rodney King or George Floyd event happens it could get out of hand.

I kinda figured violence was a foregone conclusion the moment he got reelected they're not going to stop. it just gets worse from here.

Either you fight fascism with violence or fascism wins without a fight.

Hopeful for a made for TV version where JB finds clever stratagems that effectively hamstring/buffoonize Trump’s efforts: troops have to encamp in a muddy field outside McHenry; street weight restrictions allow vehicles no larger than a Segway; no guns.
