    It’s getting to the point where I don’t think dicking around on internet forums is good enough. Every time trump repeat the phrase “51st state” it gets a little more serious. We need to start organizing irl like, yesterday.

      Yeah. We have to start having discussions with our family and relatives. We can’t keep politics out of conversations anymore. Anyone who plans to vote conservative needs to be convinced otherwise.

      If only anyone had access to guns actually useful in an invasion. I wouldn’t even face off against a herd of feral pigs with a legal gun. Have fun with a five shot pinned SKS or an old bolt action 308 facing off a military
