Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiroβs house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosiβs husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dogβ¦and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

Invasion implies war. When you have war between different parts of a country, it is a civil war. So...if Illinois is being invaded, then a state of civil war already exists.

From the 50501 community on Reddit: Can someone tell me what Trump meant when he said blue states may be disappearing off of the map?

Everyone remembers when Trump says he wanted to take armed thugs from red states to go terrorize blue cities and states, right?
He did it during the campaign and multiple times this year.
Why is anyone surprised?

Because the Republican party is a fascist cult and there's not one of them that has a spine, not one that cares about any other living being more than they care about themselves, and not one that will risk losing money or power.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

The regime's desire for authoritarianism is bottomless, but their capacity is not. Not even close.
They rely on bluster and memes to make up the difference. The threat is real, but less powerful than they say.
Freedom-loving Americans outnumber them by a lot. Communities can resist. Like this one:

Two things felt different to the ppl I spoke with whoβd been protesting at the ICE building for months.
1st was the sheer volume of tear gas, pepper balls and flash-bangs used, seemingly unprovoked.
2nd was seeing so many videographers/live-streamers embedded with the feds as they marched out.

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian
