Political Memes

The twitter user is making so many assumptions. It's a great look into the delusional mind of alt right people.

For example, they assume all of the gun owners are conservatives and that they are all willing to fight and die for texas, and have the means or money to get there. In actuality, plenty of gun owners aren't extremists or even right wing, and many of those who are probably won't even show up if this shit happens.

Also, if this shit happens, once those who did show up end up in prison, on the run, or dead, you can bet your ass that the same account will be calling it a false flag operation or something [not sure if it was this account or one of the other major right wing twitter accounts that encouraged January 6th and then went on to claim it was a false flag afterwards]

To sum up the right wing lunatic mind: everybody who owns guns agrees with me and would die for those opinions, but also, if we lose, it was a false flag anyway, and most people actually agree with us but are too scared to show it, etc.

It's just a bunch of hypocrisy and assumptions that go against all facts.

Ah yes, because every single gun owner in the United States wants Texas to secede and is willing to die fighting for that cause.

So this dumbass thinks the entire population of American gun owners are coming to their rescue?

I own a gun.

Fuck Texas. I won’t be supporting them in anything ever.

Everyone seems to have this romantic idea of a US Civil War would be like. It's either "76 million gun owners becoming patriots" or the US military will crush the secessionists with some airstrikes and drone strikes, all in time for dinner.

The first stage would be political chaos. Some US governors will see this an attempt to seize even more power and side with the Secessionists (looking at you, DeSantis, you shit head). Some US governors will wait to see if a political solution can be sought before picking sides, and other governors will side the US government. Congress will have to figure out what do with US Representatives from Secessionist States. Some members of the military will start to defect or desert for various reasons.

If a political comprise can't be sought, we move to the second stage. Secessionist States start seizing US military bases and their assets and more members of the US military and Secessionist States start to desert/defect. Russia, China, Iran, and other countries sensing an opportunity, start to exploit the ongoing chaos. This includes massive disinformation campaigns, funding violent organizations, and isolating US allies.

A small amount of far-right militias sensing an opportunity with the US government dealing with the beginnings of a civil act, start to act. Small bombings and assassinations to further their political goals. Conservatives in Northern California start terror campaigns in Southern California. Progressive groups start being targeted and band together for safety. Foreign interference becomes more involved. Refugees start fleeing.

Third stage is full out war. Battles between Secessionist forces and the US Military start happening. Every state has either decided to join one side or goes their own way. Political crises pop up in US territories. Local insurgencies break out amongst groups fighting for power as central governments are pre-occupied with fighting a civil war. Foreign inference is at a maximum with direct financial, military, or logistical support to whatever group aligns with foreign powers.

We saw this with happen with the Iraq War with it's multitude of Shiite and Sunni militias fighting each other and the US. Same thing happened in Syria, with groups supporting the government against those fighting against the government and the Kurds. We saw what can happen with a dedicated low tech insurgency can do in Afghanistan and Vietnam against a far more advanced military.

At best, the US is 11 different countries trying to be one country.. At worst, the US is 50 different countries trying to be one country.

Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards wrote an article about the beginnings of a civil war.

So... Every gun in the US is owned in Texas?

“I support the former things” is such a stupid fucking slogan. It’s not catchy and sounds like someone tried to rephrase “The good old times” five times in a row. How about:

“Back in the day today!”

“It has been better, it will be better!”

“We chug barrels of cum!”

“Craving for Russian cock uWu”

I swear, the right has zero creativity.

Conservatives are not going to be happy when they find out liberals have guns too. Or what happened the last time the south tried seceding.

This kind of counteracts the "AR-15s aren't assault rifles" argument, no?

They aren't the largest army.

They are the largest infantry.

Big difference.

How little the average redneck understands this joke... I'll explain it like to a five year old:

72 bazillion guns are USELESS against one single B52 carpet bombing the shit out of you.

Modern Warfare makes a gun fight look like a cave men throwing stones.

“EndWokeness”?

Do these people even listen to themselves?

I nearly spit out my coffee when I walked past a bookstore and saw Ted Cruz’s “Unwoke” on display.

This is just as golden as them being against antifa. Y’all ever stop to think that maybe that leaves you standing with the “fa”?

What makes them think all those gun owners would be on their side?

Many gun owners are democrats, so their moronic stance against the U.S. fucking military is not off to a great start planning wise

Quick googling let me know there are about 10 million households in Texas and 40% of those have at least one gun. Lets say that transfer to one gun owner per household. 4 million gun owners in Texas. Lets say 2% of those show up to die. That's gonna be a great army of 80k.

Assuming these bumbling fools will be about as effective as Russians in Ukraine, they will have a mortality rate of about 431 dimwits a day. I would say this is generous, considering what they would be up against. If they fight to the last man; they will last about 185 days. Though it is unrealistic they would fight to the last man. lets say they capitulate after 20% losses. That hypothetical conflict would last about a month.

I would like to believe they would just get cold feet before any violence sets in. It's easy to talk tough on social media, but when cold reality washes over them, they will do the smarter thing.

My numbers might be way off. It was just a fun little math exercise. Edit: I didn't take in to account that only about 39% of adults are republican voters.

Bruh I'm a gun owner for sport, don't lump me in with the stupid crowd. I don't care if I couldn't own guns anymore, I'd just find a different hobby. I'm sure as shit not coming to the rescue of Texas

Weird how all the gun people didn't do a goddamn thing when Citizens United happened

Does Texas not know the ac130 exists?

If the American government came after Texas (as in they seceded) how would they have 72m gun owning Americans to join their cause? They wouldnt be part of the U.S. at that point.

An army is comprised of trained soldiers, not a bunch of jackasses with guns.

Curious to see how an army of 72 million angry, obstinate people functions. I'm sure that will be a very cohesive military.

And? Not all gun owners are joining this joke military. The rest of us will be popcorning the show.

Not all of those 72 million people are chuds. Statistically speaking, like 50 million of those 72 million can't make it to the end of their driveway without needing to catch their breath.

Equating gun ownership with sedition and secession is pretty stupid. Go for it, Texas. Your backup numbers are fewer than you think.

There was an article a few weeks ago about how Texas is the least-free state in the union. They have the fewest liberties, yet they can carry guns and that's all they care about.

Entire nations know better than to take on the US military, who have a larger budget than the next ten nations combined and won’t even give you a target to shoot at, and these dick weasels think they can do it with commercially available weapons and no training?

LMAO. Go ahead, try it. I’ll be here with popcorn.

Yeah, I’m not worried about the gravy seals. They can only carry so much ammo on their mobility scooters.

@EndWokeness

Hmm

By that logic, they must think every single gun owner lives in Texas.

In case there is anyone in here who thinks Texas has a chance of winning a civil war against the rest of the US. Watch this.
