Some 1,500 active duty Army paratroopers have been put on alert for a potential deployment to Minnesota, according to two defense officials.
They’re ones who are trained and equipped for arctic warfare. This is kind of thing you do when planning to massacre civilians.
Edit: The Washington Post is now saying the same thing:
Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say
Soldiers with the Army’s 11th Airborne Division in Alaska have been placed at the ready following Trump’s Insurrection Act threat, according to defense officials.
They ran status quo against reform, with the most unpopular choice they could find.
One of the few that had approvals even lower than the r candidate, never breaching 30%.
I can’t make it any easier to understand than that.
Ok and as responsible voters it would have been absolutely disastrous to vote for her instead of letting this orange baboon get in with a vengeance. I understand! Thank you!
…Wait, why are you expecting responsibility from voters but not the heads of a full-on political party?
I am not expecting anything. I am just saying you guys voted (or didn’t even bother) against your interest. He told you what he was going to do yet you chose that as the moment to send a lesson to the democratic leadership who clearly can’t give two shits about what the voters want. To think that the only ones responsible are those in the upper echelons of the Democratic party is quite childish.
You assume much of your interlocutors.
But also, I don’t think you realize it, but you just endorsed not voting Democrat. If your stance is to be taken seriously, and the democratic leadership “clearly can’t give two shits about what the voters want”, then voting in your interest requires either swaying the Republican party, or starting a third party. And, considering the “moment to send a lesson” wasn’t 2024, but 2016, and the lesson not only clearly wasn’t learned, but seems to have gone entirely unnoticed and forgotten, I fear you may be right.
So it’s everyone else’s fault except for the people forcing an unwinnable strategy, got it.
Well kind of. In this case and in your voting system you only have two choices. One is crazy and vile the other you dislike out of principle. One told you what he is going to do, the other you didn’t like the message, the framing the status quo and all that you said (which don’t get me wrong, if this was any other time you would be perfectly right!). And now we are here! At this point from the outside looking in, you voted against your best interest … There is no other way to look at it. But what you say stands because like I said, if this was the second bush campaign, hell even if this was again the first trump campaign you are absolutely right. But this last time you knew what was going to happen! He told you! Yet …
That is not a very accurate analysis at all. The democrats are controlled opposition. They are playing good cop to republican bad, even as republicans are openly playing hitler.
Your analysis just boils down to victim blaming. If only we perpetually voted for the less bad option we would be enjoying more plutocratic rot and a slower degeneration.
But if that was your goal, you had to be popular enough to win. So you only have yourselves to blame if you trusted the democratic establishment to know what they were doing. After 3 successive shit shows of presidential elections at that.
If an outlet in your home started an electrical fire, it would be pretty stupid to ignore the fire to focus on fixing the wiring. You don’t have any more wiring if the house burns down.
Their analysis was totally accurate. The voters who abstained from voting D as a protest decided that the wiring had to be fixed first instead of putting out the fire and focusing on the wires once the immediate danger was taken care of.
The only victims here are those who did what they had to in order to prevent Trump’s second term. Everyone else made a choice to risk it and lost.
The focus first needs to be on the builder that is putting in the electricity wrong in your scenario. You are blaming the renters instead of the builder that chronically installs electricity wrong, then told everyone it was ok. Loose wires, no gfci, no cfi, and the breakers aren’t done properly leading to overloading the circuits before they trip if at all.
Seriously if you are being sincere, explain how it’s everyone else’s fault for the leaders forcing a doomed to fail strategy when it’s never more important not to get it.
Then explain why you would change the subject from that to if someone personally voted, assuming their vote or lack of. You can explain if it’s something you do consciously to obscure the issue using slander, or it it’s subconscious.
Sure, go after the builder while your house is on fire. Sounds smart.
The Democrats fucked up the campaign, there’s no doubt about it, but Trump said he was going to do this. They literally published their plans and they’re following them.
The people who didn’t vote to stop him made a decision, and because of that choice we’re here now. The voters were last line of defense.
In your dumbass analogy here we are setting up to build more houses, paid by us, built by them, with the same faulty electronics.
You didn’t answer my question, you just repeated your slander. Didn’t answer whether that is something you do consciously or not either. So I guess that means I win, logically. Enjoy your new house!
Ok sure but now you have this. What do you say about this situation. I am really curious if you will ever vote again or if your vote will matter anymore down the line.
Why would you assume how I voted? You think everyone that votes democratic pretends to think they are good choices?
Or is that your way of obscuring the issues with slander?
I didn’t assume. I said I am curious if you (as in the lot of you)will ever vote again. He said that too remember? Vote for me and you will never have to vote again!
Sorry if I aggravated you!
Sorry I’m on the warpath. I always vote, against the republicans.
