They should seize SpaceX. The US government already pays for it.

At a town hall meeting, Vidalia residents vigorously opposed the plan [to integrate schools], saying it would disrupt students’ lives and expose their children to drugs and violence.

Accepting the plan would have been a “death sentence” for the district, said Paul Nelson, a former Concordia superintendent. White families would have fled to private schools or other districts, said Nelson

“It’s time to move on,” said Nelson, who left the district in 2016. “Let’s start looking to build for the future, not looking back to what our grandparents may have gone through.”

Hmm... Something tells me it's not just something the grandparents went through...

Musk chooses who he gives money to. He's not going to give money to Bernie, who's currently rallying against oligarchs. Instead, he's going to give it to the people who are willing to push his fascist agenda. In the last election that was conservatives, but it's not like the liberals don't have freaks of their own. Money and advertising spend largely determines election outcomes, so by giving cash to politicians he likes, he can literally buy elections. Very few politicians would turn down his cash if offered, because they want the advantage it would bring. They also just have a fetish for sucking the toes of large donors.

Gun control does not always mean outright banning guns.

Do you think the Russian, Cuban, Chinese, and Parisian revolutionaries did not have or use guns?

Not true. LAPD is not cuffing the immigrants, but they are defending ICE during the arrests and attacking protestors.

Yeah, we need more peaceful protesters to be attacked by cops and counter-protesters, then get blamed for the violence.

Or maybe the fascists will eventually just decide to stop, all on their own...

I don't mean literal nukes, but they would probably declare an emergency and send in substantial military force.

Edit: It's crazy that we live in a time where I have to be specific about this.

DC would nuke LA.

OK, but put simply, police forces exist to enforce laws, military forces exist to kill enemies. This is why there are laws to prevent military forces from being deployed domestically. Their jobs are very different, and neither is truly qualified to do the job of the other.

Only the OP and top level comment.

Silly me, socialism is sooo globally fashionable!

Fixed it.
