Yeah but if you rock up on a federal building in DC it's not going to be six children and a manbaby, it's going to be DC police, Capitol police, the FBI, probably another federal security org I don't know about, and contracted security officers too. Three middle aged dudes aren't getting past the lobby.
God damn, did you really need to throw in the middle aged part?
The point was that it wouldn't be just us 3 vs 6 kids and a man baby. The point was that a decent mob overruns people who really aren't that vested in it. Most of the secret service, FBI, CIA whatever, aren't in it to destroy the democracy. They joined to preserve the country. I hate giving credit to the FBI but they're resisting on a small level by not reporting on each other to musks goons. You act like 100% of every agency is all in on trump/musk and that's just not the case.
They saw that maga isn't on their side after J6. Sure, ICE is obviously a bunch of racist maga shitbags, but most of the rest of them joined the services to help the country, again, many were probably misguided but the heart was in the right place.
