6 states siding against a supreme court decision to deny access to federal authorities seems big, if thats happened in my lifetime I've not heard of it before

Yeah I have no idea what's going on. With the border, I just assume that it's bullshit because Republicans have been crying about the border for like... my entire life and everything has been seemingly OK thus far apart from the fascist response to migrants at the border.

I don't think you understand, I'm talking about current events of what may or may not be an incipient constitutional crisis/ secession moment, not border policy generally

Libs are already doing the "we can't do anything or republicans will call us authoritarians" line.

So it's not like it's going to start a co flict but it's just going to demonstrate with extreme clarity that democrats are literally completely useless for foreign affairs and also will not do literally anything even when multiple republican states are explicitly ignoring federal law to murder vulnerable minorities.

Basically it's just gonna knock dems down another 15 point in the polls and all those "moderates" libs are obsessed with are just gonna sneer even harder when a liberal explains to them how letting Republicans do literally whatever you want is the pragmatic and reasonable decision.

I mean it's giving Ted Cruz the opportunity to look like he's actually standing for something lmao.

In the meantime they might literally start gunning down migrants approaching the border while liberals tell you you're a child if you think k Biden should do anything about it.

America is going to become undebatably fascist pretty soon. The libs didn't prosecute J6 hard enough, now there's a precedent that a revolt isn't a life ruining thing for right wingers.

Prepare for American balkanization

Lmao the libs didn’t prosecute January 6th hard enough? They put everyone who was there in jail for life basically. They prosecuted it in an unprecedented way, clamping down hard and freezing assets. I have no idea what you are talking about, FBI went on a hog hunt afterwards.

The issue with libs isn’t that they didn’t freak out enough over January 6th, that’s basically the exact opposite of reality. They couldn’t have possibly overreacted more than they did

Really? I feel like I remember some of the r/Capitol Consequences posts being much less then that, like a few years type of thing. Not life or multiple decades.

For example, the guy with flex cuffs got a little less then 5 years.

Nothing ever happens.

I really want to see at least one shootout between state and federal agents, but it's probably not going to happen.
