I am fully expecting an attack on sovereign Venezuelan territory. Maybe not this week or next but rump is flagging, his dementia is catching up, it’s obvious and the people behind big boy rump are nervous. Classical political thinking in the US is that you cannot attack a war time president. They’ve been attacking random fishing boats and killing people and causing international problems. But we know that Venezuela is no real that to our country. Like fighting them would suck but it hurts them more than us unless a global power joins in.

So someone orders a strike inside of Venezuela. It’s a direct provocation and Venezuela has to make a show of defending itself. rump and friends say this is a declaration of war, scramble the birds, America is under attack! Or some bullshit but it’s just the US army invading a poorer nation with a small military where the general populace doesn’t want us there and never wanted us there.

Suddenly rump is a wartime Pres with all the social and political cover that provides. It allows the crackdown in American cities because now protestors aren’t just dancing in costumes. They are dancing in costumes protesting a country at war… Clearly that’s too far and we need to crush these Venezuelan funded terrorists… Or whatever the headline from our gov will be.

I dunno, we’re so cooked. Anyone know groups in other countries that’ll help trans people move out of the US?
