Imagine what 80 million insurrectionists can do. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Leaving aside for a moment that the United States was founded in an insurrection against, proportionally, the greatest, most powerful empire the world has ever known? Tending to indicate the Harris administration isn\u2019t very literate about history, to say nothing of mass movement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bidens jeep was not the first time some \u201cprogressive\u201c has tried that line. \u201cWhat, you\u2019re going to go after a tank with an AR 15?\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They forget that The American military is exceedingly disproportionately drawn from the same parts of society that \u201cgun culture\u201c exist soon. An 18-year-old kid from East Texas is 32 times as likely to join the military as an 18-year-old in New York City (and even that kid is most likely a Puerto Rican from the Bronx, or someone from Staten Island, not the children of Manhattan hedge fund trash).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the battle is not going to be between the putative \u201cFat, angry white man\u201c and a tank. It\u2019s most likely to be between that guy, and his son with his tank, and his niece with her drone, against a bunch of non-profiteers with pre-printed protest signs and pink knit \u201cpussy\u201c hats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Which is, I expect, why the administration is putting so much effort into trying to \u201cwokify\u201d the military.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
