Ban hemp! Ban homeless! Let MY cops harass and kill protestors, not the military!

Is this what democrats are reduced to these days?

What if everyone that goes to a "No Kings Day’ protest did one thing BESIDES protesting. Pledge to NPR. Switch to a credit union. Boycott one company you were going to buy from anyways that supported Trump. Go on to your states sos site and sign nominating petitions for 2026 and give $5 clean election funds. Attend one political meeting. Something!

Just going out and holding a sign with a catchy slogan makes YOU feel good, but doesn’t really do anything else. And long gone are the days where any of the elected republicans would worry about what non-republican primary voters in their district think.

Which begs the question I’ve been asking for some time now: If someone tries to run someone over, and they respond by (non-fatally) shooting the driver, who gets arrested? (Assume both are white republicans).

Only a few states have state guards, which are like national guard groups that have no connection to the federal government. Most of these are on the east coast in democratic areas because republicans look at them and go: “Why do we have a state guard and a national guard? They do they same thing. If we cut the state guard, we can pass a tax cut!”

However, state guards are perfectly legal. In fact, that is what the 2nd amendment means when it says ‘well regulated militia’. Sadly, I don’t think California has one.
