Let's throw #Resist right back in their faces. If Twitter bans that hashtag, perhaps it'll finally be crystal clear to everyone that big tech is just an arm of the Democratic Party.
Then if he is not continuing the fight, then the fight will go on without him. This is bigger than any one man.
For four years, the Left have clung on to the spirit of #Resist. They clung onto it when their champion Hillary fell and Obama disappeared into retirement. For much of those 4 years they had no single leader to rally behind. Now that we are on that position, now that we are on that sale less-favorable ground, do you dare say that we immediately surrender where the Left persevered?
We are the Resistance now. Own it. Fight with greater effectiveness and veracity than on the Left ever had. Regroup for the next battle in 2022. Until then, organize and prepare for home defense. If the Presidency were like the port of Boston, then let your own little corner of America be Lexington and Concord: make them pay the highest of costs if they march directly against you.
It is only the end if you surrender the will to ever fight again. Battles may be lost, campaigns can go awry, ground and crown may be taken away. But as long as there is the spirit of resistance burning - even if it burns softly as a tiny flame in the putrid air of tyranny - the fight continues and the fire remains able to grow.
(hashtag) Resist is ours once again and we as Americans must prove ourselves wonderfully stubborn.
There is a difference between surrendering the war and regrouping to fight again another day. As long as Trump keeps up the fight from the outside, he remains no more a summer soldier than Washington camping at Valley Forge.
(Laughs in Vietnamese)
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman." -Thomas Paine
Their Plan:
Step 1: Doxx people who disagree with them politically.
Step 2: Get those people fired from their jobs and shunned from "society".
Step 3: Realize they've just pissed off patriots who are armed and now have nothing to lose because of them.
No matter where your politics lie, that's not a very good plan.
Their first shot will likely be a rock or bottle. Once physical force is used against you, you are free to fire back immediately with anything at your disposal.
If their first shot just happens to be with a gun, you can bet the aim of these authoritarian order-seekers will be shittier than a stormtrooper's.
So by all means, let them fire the first shot in each encounter so that our greater response will always be justified. And remember that a crushed head for a missed shot at your eye will quickly settle the conflict they bring against you.
Brown Flippino and legal immigrant (now citizen) checking in. Same.
America is my civic religion. Those calling us "white supremacists" just hate themselves for not being Canadian. But instead of moving or seceeding, they seek to wipe out the American way and label as traitor any minority who doesn't agree with their views. Bigots.
Carve out a corridor from Atlanta through Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh, and Richmond until it touches D.C. Annex everything on either side of that corridor.
Dear God, leave El Paso behind and take eastern New Mexico instead.
"So this is how liberty dies... with thunderous applause."
Trump ain't Palpatine. He's General Grievous - a patriot and leader of his cause who saw through the corruption of the republic. McConnell and the establishment GOP are the crooked Count Dookus - pretending to be on the side of liberty only to be working with the Dem Side to deliver power to Emperor Joe Palbiden.
MAGA is now the Rebel Alliance.
Who stockpiles in a time when .223 is 80 cents a round?
A one-armed semi-Nazi dab. Because we're all apparently Nazis.
Unless it's a diversionary/trolling tactic?
I, for one, may or may not have heard from a fellow patriot that a battalion-sized militia of the faithful is staging for a secret attack on a classified op somewhere on the west coast. The staging point is somewhere where they'd least expect: downtown San Francisco, where RPGs are being manufactured in a facility fronted as a cat-themed secret BDSM sex dungeon fronted as a pot shop.
To learn the exact location and to join this crusade, you have to wander the streets until you encounter one of the recruiters. Remember, this is all on the DL, so they'll be dressed as a local - specifically, a hipster with colored hair and a surgeon's mask. Approach the possible-recruiter with a red carnation above your ear, stomp your heel, give the customary dab salute, and say the words, "Hello there." If they respond with silence, an apparent look of shock, or really anything OTHER than "General Kenobi", you'll know you've indeed encountered a recruiter for the Trump Underground. He or she will be suspicious at first, so you'll have to give the paraphrase: "Me me fed boi, lol, mmm-kay?" They'll then lead you to the aforementioned staging area and you'll be filled in on the rest. Godspeed!
But why should Texas or any other patriotic state secede? The country founded in 1776 belongs to the patriots!
Those woke statist progressives who believe in Canadian and EU values over liberty and the Constitution should be the ones who have to leave! Let all of Western California Northwest Oregon, Western Oregon, and the East Coast North of Virginia Beach secede and form their own Proggie nations. Life would be far better for them and for us!
Listen, I didn't become an American just to see it go the way of Canada, the EU or New Zealand. Those Americans In Name Only don't deserve to inherit the country.
And if those AINO Proggies argue that states can't secede, remind them that it's entirely Constitutional for 1) states to give up land and people (as MA and VA have done before) and 2) for non-state US territory to gain independence (as my old country of the Philippines has done).
If they want to keep the country in the divorce, or worse, to stay in this fundamentally-incompatible union, we must use any means necessary to show that it ain't worth fighting for.
If the people are denied the ability to effectively air their grievances with words, the people will have no recourse but to air their grievances with lead.
Twitter, Facebook, Google, Apple, and the rest of them deny the people their outlet for rage at their own peril. Idiots!
(No, that's not a threat. It's something even the most casual student of history and human nature ought to be able to figure out. Sadly, this is a lesson that no liberal arts class could teach these techies as it's something the academia nuts just so happen to omit.)
Should have backup servers across multiple countries.
19 BBY has entered the chat.
Order 66 has been declared against patriots, and the representatives of our so-called republic give thunderous applause to the death of liberty. I only hope it takes less than two decades for Emperor Biden and the Dem Side to be defeated by our rebel alliance.
In all fairness, governments from the British Isles took no part in the Peace of Westphalia. Perhaps "peace within Continental European Western Christianity" would have been more accurate.
Here's the thing: per Texas v. White, states cannot secede. BUT there is ample precedent for states giving up territory or people (Massachusetts giving up Maine, Virginia giving up West Virginia, etc.) and for U.S. terrtiory becoming sovereign independent nations (see: the Philippines).
Just have Texas cede all land and people outside of blue El Paso County (it's even in a different time zone and far away from the rest of Texas, anyway) to a new territory, which can then secede without SCOTUS or Constitutional amendment. That way, de facto Texas can leave while de jure Texas (El Paso County) remains part of the Union.
However, it would be far better if the unAmerican Proggies with their wannabe-Canada/NZ/EU agenda were the ones to leave while the Patriots keep the country and Constitution.
And don't sell it as a Civil War-style "secession". Nobody wants to defend or bring back slavery, yet that's the image that comes to mind for far too many. Sell it as a Progressive Reformation of the American civic religion which ends in a Treaty of Westphalia-style division of different nations with differing ideals. Sell it as an amicable divorce - one that can bring lasting peace to North Ametica in much the same way that the mutual split in the Church has allowed continued peace between Catholics and Protestants post-Reformation.
Why the heck should the red states be the one to secede? The nation founded in 1776 should belong to the patriots. If those wannabe-Canadian Progressives want to have their Proggie utopia to have major departures from the Constitution (no 2A, no equal state allocation of Senators, "living Constitution", etc.) then let them be the ones to depart. Drive them as crazy as possible until they finally get up and take action to secede. They do not get the United States in the divorce.
Eh. Just nuke 'em. China probably has what few they have set for the big cities anyway.
Honestly, Republicans should be pushing ranked-choice voting right about now. If they think the Libertarians gave them grief, wait till they face the (non-New England) Patriots.
As for us, well, the Republicans suck, but they still rank better than the Democrats.
