That’s where all the engagement and comments can be found, and I’d encourage everyone to participate there.

The reason for THIS post is to direct everyone there.

I’m getting multiple reports that some people can’t see it for some reason. Could be Federation, could be they blocked the user who posted it.

Here’s hoping you all can see THIS one and move over to where everyone else is engaged.

    Trump losing would throw the “stolen election” nonsense into overdrive. Hence the civil war.

      I hear that. But who is going to enforce it? The cops? The army? I don’t see that happening. They would attack themselves.

        It wouldn’t be the cops or the army, it would be his Proud Boys aligned supporters, a la the attempt to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

        Every fascist movement has its paramilitary. Hitler had his Brownshirts, Mussolini had his Blackshirts, and Trump has his Redhats.

            Sorry, but IBM bought it so it’s evil now. I don’t make the rules.

            spoiler

            (Whether I’m still talking about WWII or more recent shit IBM did is left as an exercise for the reader.)

              IBM stopped being relevant since the PC days. The moment the IBM exec who claimed that the market has in-demand for only “5-Mini computers”, IBM lost the plot a long long time ago.

              Right now, IBM is mostly a holding corp. THey buy stuff, destroy it, and buy more stuff. Most of IBM innovations and engineers have moved on to other companies. IBM have zero or close-to-zero amount of real tech or IP. Most of it is just fluff and overblown BS.

              Redhat was already attempting being “like IBM” even before the buyout. But a lot of IBM techs were transferred over to Redhat.

              Redhat or IBM is just the lesser of evils. It is like blaming the Abacus maker or the calculator maker for the Nuclear Bomb.

        It really was close last time.

        You look at the fake electors scheme, the attempt to kidnap the governor of Michigan, and January 6th… those are all opening shots in a civil war.
