    I’m only quibbling with the right is better prepared.

    The core issue for them is they are building their preparedness around “rugged individualism” and we prepare with resilient communities.

      Great point I don’t see made enough. The right in the US is better armed, but preparedness involves more than just arms. Obviously creating communities and networks is incredibly important as well.

        I think that the Trump Regime has inadvertently created the communities that will resist them in the future: former military staff of good character and skill have been exiled, as have many government workers. These people will form the backbone of future governments.

        The Trump Regime has self-selected for corruption, cowardice, and servility, while creating foes that very much lack such qualities.
