Trailer looks pretty scary. It may give MAGAs some tactics. But it may open the eyes of many about how close we are to hell.
I did not think of them taking over stores and businesses we need to go too. I just have been thinking of house to house terrorism, and considered my own tactics to fight from here.
Trump and the Cult needs to be addressed ASAP as they openly threaten our nation.
The shit would not fly if it was any group except the GQP.
The terrorist cell should be treated as such, just as if they were from any terrorist country, hell bent on ending America.
The fear this movie could generate, could be good before elections.
That Blood Bath rant was exactly what we think it was. A call to Stand down and Stand by.
And the Cleric leader of the terrorist group is free, with unlimited press time, and a good possibility of being Appointed as President.
We better get much more WOKE than we are.

Economic infrastructure comes from the coastal blue cities. Transportation infrastructure is supported by the more inland blue cities that act as hubs.
Will most MAGA be able to handle extended time delays and uncertainty in deliveries of basic supplies - like gasoline, manufactured goods, groceries - to their more suburban or rural communities? Will they be able to handle intermittent or outright loss of communication, banking, electricity and water infrastructure?
With a very few exceptions, even most "hardcore" militia and Prepper types depend on outside infrastructure for their communications and resources replenishment, all of which is based in the economic wellbeing of their state cities.
Hint: most "Mountain Men/Rugged Cowboys" or their frontier families did not live in subsistence isolation all their lives; they would regularly head down into town and get the supplies they couldn't make or store enough of; even remote, isolated communities had trade with other communities whose own trading extended on to cities. Once a family or community became settled in the frontier, they had to supplement what they couldn't do for themselves somehow, and looking towards production hubs that turned into towns and cities was always the difference between long-term survival and just lasting a season or two before giving up and moving on because they used up all their available non-perishable stores and their tools wore out.
