    I’m trying to think of what to do to combat all this since our government seems to be run by the uberrich and Christians now. I think that the civilians of the United States would be unmatched against how much raw firepower our military and ICE has. States would probably need to slowly start joining more and more international organizations until they had enough allies strong enough to defend us from our own federal government. Maybe states would invite foreign military bases onto their land so that their allied nations would have more of a reason to protect them

      Historically speaking, all of the US Military might has been beaten by $35 IEDs and bamboo traps.

      That would basically mean a civil war which is definitely on the table but I don’t think it would end with free USA as much as USA split into many independent regions, some less and some more shitty then the current one.

      The other way would be to find some compromise with corporations and setup Network States Peter Thiel is promoting. The compromise would be that you give them all the power and in exchange you would live in techno-fascists states run by corporations instead of actual fascists state run by fascist politicians.

      I wouldn’t count on Democrats. Even if they win they will just sit on their hands for couple of years waiting for Republicans to win again.
