Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

You can call me a doomer, but walk me through this. If someone makes a call to put together a well regulated militia as is defined as the peoples constitutional right according to the documents Every state had to agree to to become a state. The Trump administration labels them ANTIFA, and they then could legally round up anyone who was involved and arrest them as terrorists.
Anyone acting individually couldn't accomplish anything as they would be labeled a violent extremist / terrorist and would be killed or arrested within a day or 2 from the moment they tried anything. Mass surveillance is on MAGAs side, which is why they are for it right now.
To me I see it as this. 60% of the country is complacent and think their lives will be better off doing nothing. 20% believe this is good and anyone going against it is bad. 20% believe this is bad, but have no avenue to thwart it.
They can't talk online, or meet anywhere that involves cars, trains, planes, buses, or any other form of travel. Think about cities such as Orlando. A blue area in a red state. There are more than 1,000 cameras owned by 1 private company feeding the data back to the government. Throw in Blink cameras, Teslas, and any population member who is outside of that 20% who would like to thwart this... And anywhere they go they are tracked. They would be caught if they tried to build a militia. Yet those are the places where non-content people would be located.
That lasts as long as the economy does. Only when the other shoe drops and the 60% pick a sides does the battle for the streets begin in earnest.
Its a culture war. And the admin is has already aligned themselves with... a despised faction that formed the least successful political movement of the last century? Does that seem like a winning strategy?
Well if the banks are right the AI bubble is what is keeping the economy going, and a bank came out saying by 2030 their will be about $800 billion dollar shortage in investments to keep the bubble afloat. Meaning the great depression should start to culminate sometime around 1929 when investors see the finite currency can't keep being dragged from the lower classes up to support these investments. Oops I meant 2029.
