      ISIS and Hamas haven’t actually accomplished anything. Not exactly worth emulating.

      If we want to emulate the Taliban, we’d have to go hide out in Mexico until the Trump administration gives up and gifts us our country back. Somehow I don’t think that would work out for us quite so well.

          The Taliban has Guns and Mountains though, so only the Rockies and the Appalachians stand a chance. The Midwest would get rolled so hard.

            They also never relied on social media provided by US-based corporations (and with built-in back doors) for their organization and communications.

            The Taliban did operate in a lot of open desert areas as well and had marginal success, I would assume that American people would be better armed than the Taliban and you’d probably see US military or National guard guys stealing and supplying the militia groups if it got serious. Look at Ukraine as well a lot of flat farmlands and Russia even with all of their equipment has a hard time pushing forward, and they just zerg.

              What a strange response. You’re essentially telling me that if I don’t follow the line then I’m alienating others as if there were only one valid position.

                I’m not talking about “a line” but if a whole bunch of people downvote you that means you failed to convince them which is the point of rhetoric.
