Everything Old Is New Again

That Gov. Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma would claim on CNN that the Federal government doesn’t make states….is pretty outrageous, coming from someone whose state was CREATED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNENT OUT OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

It gets even more comical when you take into consideration the fact that when the CSA lost the Civil War, they were re-organized and re-admitted into the Union as part of Reconstruction. So, even a state like Texas can’t claim that it wasn’t “created” by the Federal government.

Not only is Stitt’s argument one of the same ones that the founders of the Confederate States of America made, it also pisses me off so much that now I think Blue states should just ignore SCOTUS on issues of guns and abortion. It was stunning to see Stitt freak out in his car while doing a hit on CNN with Jake Tapper when Tapper brought this up.

It was surreal to see his absolute political need to protect guns at all costs on a political basis cause him to zoom right past any compunction he might have had to feel any sense of hypocrisy on what he was saying.

I hate that someone saying something so dumb and hypocritical has single handedly caused me to grow more a tick more radical, but here we are. It’s time way past time for President Biden to nationalize the National Guard of ANY state that stands in the way of the SCOTUS decision.

We Live In Surreal Times

It definitely seems that the conditions exist for the world’s first and lone hyperpower to just…collapse because of “vibes.” The Republican Party’s long-hopped for moment to finally “own the libs” once and for all by destroying the greatest country in the world is finally here — the question now is, of course, how far are they prepared to go?

I honestly don’t know. It could go either way. It’s one of those things where while all the conditions exist for Something Bad to happen…it could be all a big lulz. There’s a little bit of momentum already in the system for escalation….but not enough for things to get out of hand.


I still think it’s possible that there might be some sort of “insurrection” that takes place, but not an actual secession crisis that destroys the country. Only time will tell, I suppose.

Two Different American Media Echo Chambers Exist

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

It’s kind of surreal how nothing is being said in the mainstream center-Left media about the possibility of a shootout between Texas and Federal forces at the border, while that’s all the alternative center-Right press wants to talk about.

This is an example of how “vibes” may be the downfall of the country.

It is also an example of how should something crazy happen in Texas that the mainstream media is going to have egg on its face because it totally did not prepare people for what was about to happen.

But I get it — they probably did not want to unduly alarm people.

It could be that this is just going to be a standoff for a while and nothing will happen. That’s what I hope happens, at least.

Everything Is So Dumb

@shetgarner

Allegedly, tomorrow, Friday, January 26 is D-Day when it comes to Biden forcing Texas to put its money where its money is. And, what’s more, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem is going to be there in person?

This is a Not Great, Bob, situation.

What if there’s a fucking shootout between the Texas National Guard and the Feds while Gov. Noem is chilling out, flirting with cute National Guard members who look like Corey Lewandowski.

Everything is so fucking dumb!

Hopefully, though, this is all going to be a lulz. Hopefully, I’m getting all worked up for no reason and it won’t be a huge clusterfuck.

Mulling All My Dystopian Hellscape Predictions

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

If This Is It and there’s going to be a force-on-force conflict between Texas and Federal forces, I pretty much gave MAGA cocksuckers too much credit when I was gaming out civil war scenarios the last few years.

Rather than it being Blues that left the Union — or started a revolution — it would be the far more obvious situation of MAGA pretty much doing exactly what the South did in first civil war.

One thing I don’t think we’ve not given enough thought to is the idea that maybe there will be some sort of half-assed civil war, that would be more of an insurrection than an actual civil war. In this scenario, states like Texas don’t officially leave the Union.

They just engaged in armed combat against the Federal government. Maybe, eventually, there might be some sort of secession crisis, but in the near future, it would be more fisticuffs than ballroom brawl.

But the issue remains — this whole situation could get a little crazy really quick. What’s interesting to me is what is actually happening is more along the lines of what NeverTrumper David French wrote in his book about potential civil war scenarios, rather than anything I wrote.

Though, I do think a few of my thoughts on how a civil war (or second insurrection) might break out were pretty prescient, if not spot on.

The Birth of Trumplandia?

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Well, here I was, thinking the DPRK might re-elect Biden by starting a war with the ROK. Now, I’m really beginning to worry that a combination of momentum and miscalculation might re-elect Biden because he’ll have a Secession Crisis on his hands sooner rather than later.


But I can’t predict the future. It’s possible that, lulz, this will just been as a sign that Something Bad is going to happen after Election Day, not the Main Event. I don’t know, I just don’t know.

All the conditions, however, are there for us all to wake up one day and there be a huge battle on the border between Texas Alliance forces and the Federal government, which, in turn would cause Red States to at least attempt to leave the Union.

And there would be malignant ding-dong Trump in the middle of it all, hoping to be the president of Trumplandia.

Trump Weighs In On The Proxy Civil War

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Absolutely no one listens to me, but I do find this latest post by Trump on Truth Social….alarming.

What makes this so alarming is Trump has done something he rarely does — go transactional. He is telling people what he wants. He’s pouring gasoline on what could be a very volatile situation by telling MAGA govenors what he wants them to do.

And the pressure on the other side will continue to grow for Biden to Federalize the Texas National Guard — and any other guard that stands in his way. Which, in turn, might cause every mouth breathing MAGA fucktard with an AR-15 to rush to the scene.

That, in turn, will cause something akin to Insurrection 2.0, if not a Second American Civil War.

We’re Failing A Historic Test

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Above is a map that is something of a proxy for what a Second American Civil War would look like. But such a map leaves a lot of questions unanswered. Among them being — if Deep South states decide to leave the Union because of the inclinations of their MAGA Republican Parties — what happens when African Americans object?

That is a “Not great, Bob,” type situation.

One way to re-elect Biden would have him have to go through a Secession Crisis. But I don’t *think* it will come to that, at least not until after Election Day — or way or another.


I think this is one of those situations where violence might happen — something akin to Insurrection 2.0 — because of a combination of momentum and musculations on both sides.

If there was some sort of stand off that came to blows between the two sides and Biden felt a lot of pressure to Federalize the Texas National Guard, then, well, we could very well be going to the show. Things could escalate at an alarming rate and, before you know it, there would be a mad rush between Texas and South Carolina to see who could call up a Secessionist convention first.

Texas Gov. Abbott Sure Does Like Sucking His Own Political Cock

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

It’s a testament to how divided America is at the moment that every mouth breathing MAGA fucktard wants Texas Gov. Abbott to “hold the line,” when, really there isn’t much of a line to hold.

He thinks he can put up barbwire on the Texas border, the Feds think they have the right to cut it down. That’s all that’s going on. He’s not “violating” anything or “standing his ground” on anything.

So all this “civil war” talk that he’s juicing is just political grandstanding.

But I will admit that the fact that a sizable portion of the population really, really wants an excuse to hurt other people for political reasons is a “not great, Bob” type situation.

For the moment, it seems things are just going to simmer until we either have a civil war because Trump loses in 2024, or we have a civil war because he wins in 2024 the gets deposed by Blues after he goes “full tyrant” on us.

In other words — for the time being, at least, Reds are talk.

The Texas Border Kerfuffle: There’s A Difference Between The Legal & The Political

by Shelt Garner
@sheltgarner

Well, I got that wrong. I got myself all worked up about what is going on in Texas, only to today realize that Texas Gov. Abbott isn’t “defying” anything. He’s sucking his own political cock, yes, but he’s just continuing to do what he was doing before — putting up barbwire on the Texas border with Mexico.

The legal injunction was against the Feds, who were — and still are — cutting down the barbwire that Gov. Abbott has been putting up.

But there’s a big difference between the legal and political in this case. The US is so divided in a hyper partisan way that MAGA chodes are chomping at the bit to find some reason to act like they can “hold the line” against the Federal governent.

This is all a very, very dangerous situation because of that confusion between the political and the legal.

While I still think Biden should nationalize the Texas National Guard just to prove a point, there is a risk that doing something so drastic would only make a very dumb situation far, far worse on a * political* basis.
