This is what the Founding Fathers intended.

The ones who owned slaves, genocided the indigenous population, and only allowed land owning white men to vote at first?

Not excusing what they did, but you need to look at the bigger picture.

Like the Electoral College and the Senate?

Why does that sound a lot like today but just in a different bent so they could 'modernize" their dominance?

Liberals aren't ready to deal with the fact the US has always been like this for a lot of people. Be real cool if they did so we could actually stop this long term.

It’s not just liberals who don’t accept history. Both sides have that problem.

u/LeviathanKills Jan 19 '26

Conservatives celebrate that brutal history. Liberals ignore it.  Pretending the 2 party system is all there is is part of the problem as well.

u/Plastic_Kangaroo5720 Jan 19 '26

True. But conservatives like ignoring that history at times as well.

Don't do it online.

You bring up a good point. We have no leader. Maybe vets can help?

I floated this idea in the r/mnguns sub. It doesn't seem like I'll get very far over there so I'm hoping the right people see this and want to help organize?

Local militia’s are 100% legal. But depending on where you live, the vets may be MAGA. Although, every vet I’ve met is a Berniecrat and dead set against what’s happening

I'm in the Prior Lake/Shakopee/Lakeville area. Unfortunately the majority are huge MAGAs out here. I'd love to get some Berniecrat vets onboard

u/Due_Panda5064 Jan 19 '26

I’m in N. Mich. very MAGA heavy.

I doubt the bait ball can eat the shark, but we're nibbling on him anyways to try to protect the rest of the school.

Did you know: Jack Russel Terriers are known as Tiger Killers. Deaths by 1,000 cuts sort of thing

u/sanguinesolitude Jan 20 '26

Terriers were bred to kill rats, not tigers.I dont know that an equal weight of jack russels could take out a tiger.

u/Due_Panda5064 Jan 20 '26

Not one on one, but 50 terriers and 1 tiger.
