“The feds are staging a civil war, and Texas should stand their ground,” a GOP Congressman tweeted after the Supreme Court ruled for the Biden Administration.

They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

    I don’t get why Biden doesn’t do this. The fear is abott will say government over reach and that will be a talking point for the election? How about strong father figure, who enforced the law to keep us united?

        You take a step towards him. He takes a step back.

        I guess the flip side of that though is it’s really past when everyone should keep trying to reason and compromise with these screaming toddlers. How many times now have we seen this exact thing play out where Republicans act completely unhinged and Democrats treat them with kid gloves and keep offering them compromises and trying to appease them. Fuck em. Ignore them until they cross the line, then come down on them like a ton of bricks. No more playing nice, no more treating them like reasonable adults. Wait until Abbott puts his name on something legally incriminating then send the FBI in to haul him to a jail in DC and try him for sedition. Bonus points if they can swing the death penalty.

          Damn straight! As a parent to an actual toddler, sometimes I have to take my son’s toys away until he chooses to behave. Does that make me the “bad guy”? Maybe. But it’s also part of being an adult.

        No matter what Biden does, they’re going to do what they’re going to do.

        Ah, another Innuendo Studios fan, I see. Yes, just like he said in “Alt-Right Playbook Ep. 3, ‘You Go High, We Go Low’”,

        Republicans are going to cry “So much for the tolerant left!” no matter what form our opposition takes, so the obvious solution is to just ignore them. But clearly it’s more complicated than that, or we wouldn’t be having this issue.

        This business with the border is another example of them going low, and Biden and Democrats trying to keep the moral high ground.

            I constantly tell Democrats this, and am constantly met with childish accusations of overreaction.

            This country is completely fucked for the simple reason that there is literally no left wing. There is nothing to counter the unjust and illegal maneuvers fascists deploy that democrats are willing to use. It’s pathetic.

          The Alt-Right Playbook is one of the best video essay series on YouTube

        You gotta counter with a “sure, but here are fair terms and conditions to have a clean break with the US”

        I think they’ll turn tail when corporations realize they’ll be treated as foreign unless they relocate outside of Texas.

      Because Democrats don’t go in for the same ‘Daddy Issues Politics’ that Republicans do, and Republicans will never vote for Biden?

        I agree, but at the same time, watching fascists get stomped, legally or otherwise, brings me immense joy.

          It does to me too, but I also understand why stomping fascists in an election year can be a bad idea.

          ‘Can’, of course. It may be that we get to stomp fascists and benefit from it. But I get why it may not happen.
