Its something and nothing at the same time. It is yet another demonstration that the fed government doesn't want/can't govern, and it is a constitutional crisis. But the actors involved are only pushing this for pandering/grandstanding for electoral ends. They aren't pushing this to actually secceed or push any political agenda beyond elections. That's what makes it nothing.

Its the same way Jan 6 was nothing because even though it was inserectionist the peoppe there had no clue what they were doing beyond the spectacle of it and what they were doing was never going to matter beyond spectacle.

I agree that the implications are down the line. That's how cynical pandering to the chud base has always worked. Its hard to say when any of this will lead to an actual "something" though. Eventually yeah the chuds aren't going to be happy until they order the national guard to open fire on the feds, but at that point even the base is still only politically engaged in that spectacle and not its implications. That's why people at Jan 6th thought they could just fly home like nothing happened, because they are completely detached and unaware of the implications.

When peoole like that are able to do anything it'll be the result of a more material Balkanization and it'll exist in regions where no other law is being enforced.

Politicians today are only in it for their own egos at this point, because none of them have meaningful power to be an autocrat or warlord, because they just don't have that kind of real power. That's why libs Teump derangement is so unserious. Even if everything libs claimed were true about what Trump wants - that he wants to be a dictator and end democracy - it wouldn't matter because even a president doesn't have that kind of real power. They just get to rubber stamp bullshit and have their ego stroked

This is funny. I don't understand what any of it is supposed to mean and i think that's a good thing

No it hasn't happened in our lifetimes. This should be massive. It is a constitutional crisis, technically. But none of the parties are engaging in this for those reasons. It is 100 percent pandering and grandstanding, and is only about bullshit electoral agendas. So it probably won't actually be anything, even though it is technically massive lol

Edit: the only important impact could be later on down the line. Like every escalation of cynical Republican pandering to their genuine fascist base. Eventually the hogs won't be happy until they order tge national guard to open fire on feds. Which will be mostly hilarious when it first happens. Itll be another Jan 6 kind of thing where its technically treason, but no one involved understands what they are actually doing or than it is treason or what comes next. They're just in it for the spectacle with no actual politics or understanding of the implications of the thing they're howling for

Yeah, i agree with this. Its technically a huge thing, a real constitutional crisis if this was a functioning government. But even in something like this, its not even meant to be real politics, just pandering. Like these libs and chuds will literally take their pandering to what should be the brink, but its ultimately empty and meaningless

Make it a reality TV show.

This would be the best post revolution show! Trap all the billionaires in a Truman Show-like similacrum of late stage capitalism without any of the advantages they were birn with and watch them as they slowly discover they will never become billionaires again

thank you. That's a perfect rendering of the lib mind

Its cool. I commented before reading below that like a dozen other people told you it was a joke, so sorry that i unintentionally piled on lol

I'm not suprised really, its just kind of foreign to me. Like I'd just feel like hmmmm, well maybe if i don't take the sleeping pill i won't need the wake up pill, and if i dont take the wake up pill i wouldn't need the skeeping pill. But, after hearing about this for the first time I'm sure its pretty common

just an alliance of totally equal partners

So they're all taking wakefulness drugs during the day and then sleeping pills at night? Damn

he was making a joke. A lot of peoole here like to joke about Hunter because he's kind of funny. No one here is cares that people were getting pills for free. In fact, we think everyone should get pills for free
