The primary way the federal government maintains control (aside from belief) is money.
These dumbasses have already started yanking all the funding they felt like they could get away with. If that keeps going, they’ll burn all the methods of control except force and they just don’t have enough.
Hell, Gavin is a giant reactionary turd, but he’s not dumb, he’s had to have considered the possibility of being king shit of the Republic of California.
Suppose he activates the military.
There’s not enough military to continue adventurism and suppress cities. Even if you called up all the national guards. Like a few cities could be covered tightly maybe, but not all of them.
You’d have to start calling up “militias” and shit. That shit isn’t gonna be as disciplined as the regular military.
Sounds like a dumbass recipe to all the sudden lose control and balkanize the whole country.
Hell, California is already talking about inking independent trade deals with foreign countries.
There’s a point at which I think certain states will just start ignoring the feds.
Either way, it’s not gonna be fun for us smallfolk.
He’s sixteen. He’s got a good head on his shoulders.

“Well bud, this is the first step to the state cracking down way too hard on peaceful protestors, then things will get more interesting.”
I just drove by a hands off protest, there was at least 5.
Wait, so are we pro climate change now?
Will the next mayor also be the first president of the free city of New York?
Comrade, someday all the dollars will turn to dust.
Fiat currency relies on belief.
That’s assuming it’s a dip and not permanent.
I wonder if there’s an active effort to de-brainworm us on the part of the Chinese government.
It seems to be working if so.
JDPon Don helping out doing stuff like defunding rfa and USAid.
They can’t help but keep losing. They’re like the opposite of the Globetrotters.
What’s the number that gets our boy out on the lawn again to roll everything back this afternoon?
Whatever it is, at least we can laugh.
Hey, our guns are made here. So they’ll still be cheap. That can’t end badly.
I love dip. It’s the best.
Cheese dip.
Bean dip.
French onion dip.
You just can’t go wrong.
Teach your kids Mandarin.
The JDPon Don narrative gains more steam everyday. Comrade Trump, destroying capitalism faster than anyone expected.
This is animated?
They’re really making sure the government is only doing violence.
Well, they’ll either subjugate everyone by killing them or…
I just love popcorn.
I don’t think he’s wrong there. I don’t see Newsome winning a national election. Actual leftists hate him (and the rest of the Democrats) and everyone else thinks “Commifornia”
