Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone

I --hope-- Trump is simply giving them more rope to hang themselves. I hope he is just taunting them to dig their grave deeper.

This is the best move right. The far left has long suspected the truth, that anarcho-communism is an achievable goal, has been suppressed. No amount of debates or half measures will convince them otherwise. They need to see for themselves.

Right now, the right needs to be like Hannibal's army at the Battle of Cannae: Hannibal gave the illusion that they were weak and retreating as the arrogant Romans charged into the center and appeared on the verge of breaking the Carthaginian line. But the Romans didn't notice, until it was too late, that by pushing in too far, too fast, they had walked into a trap and allowed themselves to be totally flanked...

The best part is that the police chief, mayor, and governor have not denounced it in any way.

The leftist media outlets haven't even mentioned it.

Realistically, there isn’t anything Trump can do. We now know the leadership of whatever unit or agency he tried to send in would use the opportunity to virtue signal “orange man bad” to media acclaim.

The only reason the right has had any success at all since FDR’s time is the left starting to move to fast getting blowback. It hasn’t been from the right fighting back, almost all of the politicians and a substantial number of the regular people can’t wait to figuratively (and probably literally when violence breaks out) stab however is fighting in the back for an attaboy from the left.

Even more people won’t support anyone fighting back because they don’t agree with them 100%, and use that as an excuse to continue do nothing, while talking about what pussies the left are any way.

Unless that changes it’s over, there is no one badass enough to face armies alone for long

Part of me would like to see the FBI and ATF pull another Waco, only this time it makes sense.

Another part of me wants them to be left alone to show everyone just how dumb they are. Since they are not part of the US, cut the power/water/sewage since it comes from the US. Send DHS/CBP there to set up a border station and not allow anyone back in without a valid passport/visa. Since we don't have a trade agreement, no shipments of food or medicine. Since they are not in the US ITAR rules apply and they can't transport firearms/ammo/accessories outside the US with out State Dep approval.

Give them what they want, autonomy. They will be back in their mom's basements in 72 hours.

No, no- they are patriots. It is everyone’s patriotic duty to forcibly occupy a city to better voice your wokeness and displeasure with the system. If the Feds go in and stomp them the MSM will make it seem like a college sit in overrun by the Gestapo.

Oh, wonder what would have happened if Virginians did same thing last year when protesting unconstitutional gun laws?

I have been wondering (tongue in cheek) when HRT and the tanks and helicopters would be deployed.

It is an ugly situation to try and resolve. They are spoiling for Trump (or the state) to deploy .mil assets. It seems like they were really disappointed when the mess in DC didn't result in a massive overreaction from the QRF there. They would be gleeful for a Ruby Ridge/Waco/Kent State style disaster to occur on Trump's watch. Do nothing and you tacitly sanction it. Go in hard and risk a a real disaster. Nobody wins.

It is damned ironic that they have "discovered" armed resistance and secession and that they are suddenly vital concepts to be cherished.

I hope you're not serious. I joke about citizens going in to clean them out, but having the Feds go into and kill everyone there would be an absolute disaster. If Trump ordered it, it would absolutely cost him the election, no doubt about it. Hell, it might even encourage people who are apathetic about the whole thing to side against the government.

There is no "H" for the HRT. Waco, Ruby Ridge, they were all absolute dumpster fires, especially because the feds intervened and felt a need to go nuclear.

Seattle is Seattle's business, and it, and Washington state, needs to handle it. No need for los federales to intervene.

Seems Durkan's in on it, these are her peeps.

As for us, yeah, I know I'm saying this a lot... but our side needs to make these jokers famous. Make them the face of the Democrat Party and scare the normies shitless imagining this "Coming Soon To A City Near YOU!"

I hate Marxists, which is what they really are, and believe that the only good Commie is a dead one so the idea of them burning alive does tickle me a bit, I won't deny it. However, it would be a disaster for Trump and we can't afford a Biden presidency which is why I am torn.

The more prudent solution would be to isolate them. Cut them off like a gangrenous limb. No support from the US, no utilities, cell phones, food or medicine. Let them be truly autonomous. We all know they won't last more than 72 hours.
