The Trump administration claims to be fighting an existential battle against insurrectionary forces in Los Angeles. In truth, it created this cynical spectacle itself, deploying troops and inflaming tensions to distract from its policy failures.

    Yeah you know what? Fuck it. Maybe I will sit my ass down all day and not give a fuck at all. You know I just got back from a trip to Mexico and it was quite amazing not having to think about all the fucking political drivel that I do everyday here living in this hell hole, but I like to be informed.

    I’m planning to protest on Saturday but maybe I won’t because even the liberals here curb stomp their allies for not doing enough.

    Fuck Trump, fuck you and most of all: fuck the USA.

          Same here. I am at a point of not giving a fuck anymore. I know that is what they want, so they won and now we have to live in fascist hell hole America for a while or forever. Not much I can do about it until a civil war happens I guess.

            How would a civil war even play out nowadays?

            I imagine the United States fracturing into multiple independent states that form alliances with each other in some way. Will there be independent cities, landlocked, surrounded by enemies? Will forces move in to occupy and conquer lands up to and around cities? How many states will survive to have actual statehood?

            “We traveled into the Carolina empire into an area once known as Southwest Virginia. Fighting continued for months, but we couldn’t make progress. The locals know these mountains better than we ever could, even with our tech, they were killing us with pellet guns and improvised explosives called, “yee haws”. So we made our way into Georgabamasippi to hide among the Cousins and regroup. I’m keeping hope alive that the United States of California will make its way east, but even the word California can get you killed in these parts. I know you’ll probably never get this message, but it’s set to send as soon as I get signal, if I ever get signal. I love you, my darling. -1337NUTZ69420”

            I hope I never have to live through anything like that, but I’d love to play the video game or watch the series of movies. :p

        Poor icefoxx only has negative, arrogant, or edgelord comments in their history. I hope they get some help.

        In the meantime, the Voyager app has user tagging, which I deploy instead of blocking when I can.
