    I am trying to keep “hopeful” that they’ll stick to their Project 2025 plans in the sense that they’ll try to do it through legal shenanigans and loopholes rather than just sending out the Gestapo and keeping everyone in their homes with machine guns.

      We should all arm ourselves now. Every single bit of this is unprecedented, in the worst possible way. Better to be safe than staring down the barrel of a Luger.

        Counterpoint: if you are staring down the barrel of a Luger, I would suggest NOT doing what they tell you to do.

        The Nazis had a habit of forcing someone at gunpoint to do something worse than getting shot. Like telling you to bite the curb, or kill your friend, then they shoot you.

      The gestapo was how the government enforced their legal loopholes and shenanigans.
