People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).

So is this what CW2 looks like?

P.S. I'm a Brit

It's very tiresome. This also feels a lot more agro than interrogating a president about getting a BJ.

Why are your lunatics so energetic, crazy and numerous? They seem to be getting worse. Some BJ obsessions in the 90s. Then tea parties in the 00s. Now it's full-blown inssurection with Texas wanting to secede.

Now that all the crazies have joined their "god army" and trundled down to the border would it be a good time to nuke them? Just wipe out all the lunatics in one go. Problem solved.

Simple, Russian and Chinese bots on social media designed to foment division, anger, and the destruction of western democracy. It's the exact same thing that led to Brexit and the election of Trump. And it will get worse until we get a handle on blocking bad actors on social media.
