Don't think of yourself as "not going" instead you are rearguard and/or reserves... We'll have not just a show of force but also some reserves as well... this works out for the best. After all... the enemy tried to rig the election based on "knowing" about 75% of our numbers... that 25% out of nowhere screwed them over... We're just going to do that again. Don't forget... our numbers have further increased after the election since people began to see the fuckery plain as day...
Perhaps that’s the pitch to those who may want to go to DC but don’t quite have the stomach for the initial risk: Head to the outer and meet up with other likeminded people and see what plays out at the epicentre. No doubt if reserves are needed for a second wave of protests, some of those would flee - but others would be galvanised to action.
In any case, this is looking to be more of a celebration than a protest
No. None of you are military. This isn't a militia. None of us are fit or trained as an actual force. Yes, some of us have been in the military so we know what the deal is, but as a force? Absolutely not. There are no reserves. There is no rearguard. We are not militant. The biggest threat our 'army' would be against ourselves.
This isn't a takeover. And running your fucking trap about it on a website that's viewable by everyone is a real quick way to get Trump/Trumpism/nationalism/america first movement added to the domestic terrorist list.
And don't bother with 'we're rolling in there armed to protect the protestors'. You'd be the biggest threat to protestors.
Push is turning into shove and people like that just want to rollover and hope things go back to "normal"... Fuck that, "I'm weird because normal sucks.". Look at what "normal" is... accepting people mutilating their crotches, eating drugs and playing dress up to pretend to be something that they are not... Being told what to think... Having your rights and dignity slowly stripped away from you...
Fuck that and people like the moron you replied to... with a rake.

There's a significant number of active, reserve, and retired military within our ranks.

So were the original revolutionaries... They were farmers, shopkeepers, lawyers and more... Your point?
We are not militant.

Just because we have so far refused to remove the safeties and gone "weapons free" does not mean that we are not militant.
The biggest threat our 'army' would be against ourselves.

No, the biggest threat is subversive slime like you poisoning our morale out of ignorance and fear, outright sabotaging us, or leaking our comms to the enemy..

Proving your ignorance I see... They've ALREADY declared patriotism as a "national security threat" many years ago... The only thing stopping them from formally declaring the America First movement as "domestic terrorism" is the fact that doing so lights the fuse and kicks things off. After all declaring that people who care about the country as the enemy would shatter the mask of lies that they wear.
You'd be the biggest threat to protestors.

Ah, so you're defending Pantifa... After all you'd like to see innocent people being harmed judging by your very words in the post I'm bothering to reply to just so your smug ass can think that you're "on the right side of history."...
Leave soldiering to the real soldiers.

So leave it to people whose boot scrapings are worth more then you... Got it...

Same. I just started a new job. No time off. Cant afford to take tine off. Sucks, because my old job would've given me 80 hours off starting on the 1st. Oh well. I'll be the reserve rearguard.
I wish I could go but i have a bunch of bullshit i have to deal with, anyone who goes make sure to be safe.

Definitely this. January 6th is just the beginning, we've got a lot of work to do.

Who the fuck are you? I feel like I don't KNOW you anymore!

Some people won't go, but those people shouldn't proclaim it because it makes it easier to stay home. And we need as many Pede's in DC as possible!
Is there a meetup group to travel or share hotel fees with? Some of us have no one to go with.
I'm not sure. I was asking family to go with me (have an uncle in the swat team), but I'm not sure if they're going.
Try making a post asking about meetups.
(Because it's dangerous to go alone/not have a plan)
*Good luck pede!
Hopefully you get it sorted out and make it there. We need everyone to be there.
