Oh, yeah unfortunately that scenario makes a lot of sense to happen to regular people for no reason. Car brain sucks and it is extremely dangerous in the South

he's said before that he's had a gun pointed at him in anger more than once

I doubt that actually happened to him (maybe that's how he gamed it out in his mind). But if i take him at his word then wow. That's not a normal thing to happen to anyone once. He's a piece of shit and deserves it, but I've met plenty of assholes who this hasn't and won't ever happen to. What the hell has been saying irl and to who?

michael-laugh perfect. That's a good way to express the near future of these kinds of political stunts that really should matter but shrug-outta-hecks

Either way it ends with Texas and their allied states using this as yet another campaign talking point to show how the fed is doing le government overreach

Exactly. That's the whole point of doing this for them, and the entire reason its happening in an election year.

It is just a stunt. Its a stunt that has some really high stakes implications that should matter in a functioning society - but we don't live in one if those. We live in one where you can throw a political stunt thats equivalent to sedition and its no big deal because no one wants to deal with that, just enjoy the spectacle

Biden doesn't have the cojones to do anything decisive about it, doubly so because it's an election year.

True. That's the main reason this is even happening right now, because its an election year. Despite all the implications of this that should matter and are actually high stakes, the reality is that to these governors and the Biden Admin this is just a stunt thats a part of US electoral politics

I agree, except i think it will probably blow over without any direct consequences for now (they'll come down the line). The reason i think this is because while it is sedition - the states/governors are only engaged for the spectacle of it as a grandstand to the hogs. They aren't politically engaged in pushing for actual secession or balkanize, because that isn't their goal. And i don't think the Biden Admin is going to do much but fundraise off this and call it a win/win for politicians in both parties.

Edit: read below where you clarified. This wasn't the best wording lol. I went straight for the tactical PPB
