In other words, he couldn't hack it.  

More than that. Imagine most of the attractive, eligible girls on the typical campus. And realize that 70% of them actively hate him. And are likely to be vocal about it. That would make a shitty college experience.

I can imagine that, but the reality is that Stephen Miller found someone.   Money, power, and nepotism attracts.

Nah, didn't have to "get in" ... she was pretty much peeling off the jeans after we got in the hotel rooms.

This ends in open warfare. Y’all know that, right?

I know it, you know it, some here know it. Most everyone in America hasn't a clue. Including liberals, Dems and the mass and legacy media.

As for "open warfare," I don't see any open war lasting for more than a few minutes.

Once ICE agents open fire, or the National Guard go Kent State, mowing down hundreds of protestors live on CNN, any serious resistance will be over.

The police and the Second Amendment fan boys will all side with ICE, Nat'l Guard, and the military. Hell, the ICE fascists and Second Amendment fans will open fire on sanctuary cities with pleasure. 

The holy New York Times will say it was an unfortunate, but necessary measure to insure American stability for the world and financial markets.

About the liberal intelligentsia, MAGA world, and the rise of a fascist-medieval-corporate dictatorship

On my (allegedly lame) Penthouse Forum road trip across Trump's America, me and my travelmate met up with some of her friends from art and academic worlds. All card-carry MAGA-hating liberals! (Gotta admit, the Penthouse comment had me LOL'ing).

Over margaritas in Tucson, we were having a casual conversation about Trump-MAGA America. Astonished at the seeming lack of understanding of the dire situation in the convo, I remarked that we are heading backwards in a fascist 1930s Germany world and a premodern antiscientific medieval world, imposed with AI and high tech from billionaires. This is brief approximation of the following dialogue.

Prof: "Nah, it won't get that bad. I'm seeing some pushback. We'll get things back under control."

Me: "You must have kids and read the New York Times on the reg"

Prof: "How did you know?!?!" (Genuinely surprised).

Me: (I laughed) "Easy, the Times has been enabling, normalizing, and gaslighting liberals, academics, and secular America about GQP-MAGA for 3-4 decades. The entire existential function of the Times is to keep the liberal intelligentsia in line and believing in American virtue and exceptionalism. Plus, you have kids, ya gotta believe it is gonna get better soon."

Artist 1: "You really believe all that?" 

Me: "Absolutely. It's happening right before our eyes. But the legacy media are afraid to say it or unwilling to see it. Therefore, many liberals and Americans can't see what is right before their eyes. Team USA is doing mass deportations, dismantling science, attacking rights of women and people of color, rigging elections, building concentration camps, and turning the National Guard and Pentagon against citizens by installing a military-backed dictatorship--DC first, LA, Chicago, and sanctuary cities, then the rest of America."

Artist 2: This is depressing, but I agree this shit is happening. I quit reading the Times a long time ago. 

Prof 1: "Well, the Democrats can .... "

Me: I dismissed his comment mid-sentence with a wave of the hand ... "The Dems have no serious pushback beyond Newsom texts. Let's just move on. What's happening in the Tucson, Arizona, and LA art scenes?" (one artist was from LA).

And we proceeded to have a cool conversation about art world stuff.... and some great fajitas and margaritas. Tucson has fantastic Mexican, Spanish, and Native American-influenced food.

Similar discussions have happened with liberal friends in Dallas and elsewhere. Simply in denial.

And they read the Times.

I actually made one of those to sell as a fundraiser for a local Dem group.  They didn't allow me to sell swings at it, for fear it might resonate as Dems advocating violence against an individual.  This is the world we live in now.

Except for people who were alive and politically conscious for Wallace’s run for President, most Americans have had no exposure to third world style ethno-grievance demagogue populism at a meaningful level. It’s like watching seals who have never seen humans waddle over to get clubbed by the fur hunters. 
 

There’s beginning to be a demand for this towards the left, too, and it’s going to be real hard to pull out of that spiral.

I have that realization at least once a day.

It was just Utah St. Sure it's a win, but you don't need to think about it every day.

Eh. If that were a magat kid, I would think it was a disgusting display of parentage. Kids that young shouldn’t be used as pawns.

Doubt it. That’s when everyone will experience what they already know, that this isn’t 1790 and the citizenry cannot arm up to the point of taking on the US military no matter how many ARs and AKs they have.

I have worried someone would level a criticism of my family for including our 91 year old matriarch at protests, but when she goes with us she had insisted she had the right to speak her mind, and wanted to participate. Kids are a part of family, and they want to be included in family events. Family is family, not pawns. If these protests start to get ugly, I’d have a different opinion. Until then, I like seeing youngsters, even babes strapped to parent’s chests, among the masses standing up and saying “no.”

I don't know, man. Do you feel the same about 10 year-olds holding up Mass Deportations Now signs?

I get that we have unwavering confidence that we're on the right side of history...

...but, somehow, so do their parents.

the citizenry doesn’t need to take on the US military.  a good start to effective resistance would be creating an environment in which every Republican is living in constant fear of their home and car blowing up with them in it.  and we should have been well into that stage a long time ago.  the fact that we aren’t already there indicates that there is literally no tipping point at which anybody will do anything meaningful in terms of resistance.  we are all just going to continue to allow ourselves to spiral into fascism at an ever increasing rate.

I would have a different reaction, because of the sign, yes. That child’s sign was age appropriate. A MAGA child with an “I love the USA! “ sign would not offend me.

Edited to say MAGA families offend me because of the political decisions the adults in that family have made, not because they have kids.
