    And the crowd cheered. That’s the most fucked up part of this.

    The drama queens on the right always talk about “TDS”, but seeing their California Derangement Syndrome is really a thing. Especially when they pretend to be the “real patriots” : there are nearly 40 million Americans that live in California. More than 1 in 10 Americans live in California. That the right wing have this stupid blind hatred for.

    And an awful lot of their television, shows, games, and tech comes out of California. Hell, the taxes from Californians probably props up a lot of the assholes with California Derangement Syndrome…

    I’ve said this in the past but I really do think that if a civil war, balkanization, or federal weakening were to happen it’ll start here in California. Not necessarily because we are all that willing to do things but moreso because we are probably one of the more nationalistic states and Republicans would see us all butchered, all it’d take is the right pressure and the Californian nationalism will turn into burning federal field offices and mass graves.

        That could be a problem for them as well, its not inconceivable that said bases could end up being surrounded and isolated or otherwise dealing with defection. Regardless it’d be a complete shit show, but I suspect theyd face some level of issue from mixed loyalty, breakdown of morale, or people going AWOL outright.

    Wonder what it’ll take for Americans to march on the White House. Apparently offering up two major cities as freebies for the nation’s enemies as target practice isn’t gonna do it.

      March on the White House? He’s constantly expanding the secure perimeter. Most recently he’s announced he will be fencing off Lafayette Square. You can barely see the place from the street anymore.
