Waiting for it to get hot first is the key.

Exception: bacon

If this were real, I’d say you probably got soap in their eyes.

I suppose I was mistakenly conflating iMessage defaultism with iPhone defaultism.

Is this how we get UBI without an amendment?

It’s called The United States.

Are you sure you’re not thinking of a test of a nuclear-powered thruster for a non-nuclear weapon?

That’s an important distinction.

I read it carefully enough to notice you didn’t specify which of his campaign’s policy positions you consider extreme left. So I assumed you were talking about his main ones.

Perhaps you could clarify? Is it government-funded childcare?

Freezing the rent on rent controlled apartments has been done by many mayors including Bill de Blasio.

Kansas City has free busses.

I can’t believe the Overton window has shifted so far to the right that you can’t even imagine someone being to the left of de Blasio or Kansas.

I like to imagine he just appreciates the forest porn he found as a teen, and wanted to return the favor.

Did he have a laptop? If not, he wanted to beat off in bed.

It’s killer.

I’ve been mistaken for “safe” plenty of times. They still don’t self-identify as racist.

They’ll say things like “the blacks are just genetically more violent, and we need to protect ourselves by keeping them out of our town”, but that’s not “racist” because they’re “just telling the facts” that the libs try to force society to ignore.

They think it’s equivalent to saying women tend to have less facial hair, which isn’t sexist, and we’re insisting that it is because we’re “woke” and living in denial because of that ideology.

When they do admit to being racist, its tongue in cheek to make fun of their accusers, like if I were to call myself a “communist socialist liberal extremist”.

God it feels icky steelmanning them, but it’s important to understand your enemy.

America has the same thing. People ask about New York pizza, but the real pizza is in New Haven.

Well she sure doesn’t like when it’s not.

Hard to organize with all our communications and movements being monitored and fed into AI threat models. Not impossible, but anyone attempting it needs to adjust their opsec to the new situation, and that’s not easy. With only two taxi companies (that don’t accept cash) and Flock cameras everywhere, it’s not even enough to ditch smart phones and organize only in person.

But for one of them, it’s fantastic.

But those tend to be consenting adults. I don’t think that’s his thing.

How do you see unfolding?

Martial law to respond to ice agents being killed or police turning against them.

They’re already trying to instigate this.

How do different opposition groups respond such as the DNC?

“The Supreme Court says it’s ok, so our hands are tied, but we’re very upset.”

They already have the Supreme Court on their team.

What about blue states?

Governors will either roll over or start a hot civil war.

Which do you think they’ll choose?

How does the administration handle it without losing popular consensus?

By arresting and murdering protesters.

They’ve already identified vague groups like antifa as domestic terrorists.

If they use the military, how do they get the military stay the path when the populous begins to reject their intervention?

If you give ICE a large enough budget, they can act as a new military. And by firing non-loyal brass for not being able to do enough pushups and replacing them with loyalists, you can keep the military from intervening under the guise of neutrality.
