@VitalVegas Golden Gate is my favorite place to play BJ and Craps, the dealers are so awesome. This is very sad 😞. I have so many fond memories playing craps there.

If 75% really united like this, it wouldn’t be a “protest” — it would be a non-violent economic siege strong enough to either bring the government to the negotiating table or push the U.S. into its most serious constitutional crisis since the Civil War.

Basically, if 50% of people stopped paying taxes and stood firm together, the government would either have to make major concessions, overhaul the tax system, or escalate into full-blown authoritarian enforcement.

It’s one of the few peaceful levers citizens have that could genuinely force change — but it would almost certainly push the country to the brink of civil war.

Just saying.

Possible Outcomes
•Regime Change: Leadership concedes, resignations happen, and a transitional government takes over under public oversight.
•National Fracture: Several states refuse to recognize federal authority, forming a de facto new union.
•Federal Retaliation: Hardline crackdown with military enforcement, which risks escalating into full civil conflict.

Federal Government Response
1.Emergency Powers Declared: Martial law in key cities, mass arrests of protest leaders.
2.IRS & DOJ Crackdown:
•Attempted bank freezes on large numbers of people (logistically strained).
•Seizure of property from high-profile tax resisters.
3.Military Loyalty Test:
•Federal government orders military to enforce compliance.
•Significant risk of split loyalty between federal command and state governors.
https://t.co/2K6vEsXY45 Warfare:
•State-aligned outlets label the movement as an “insurrection” or “foreign-backed destabilization.”
•Independent media pushes counter-narratives and exposes censorship.

The Revolt Method
•Tax Boycott: 75% of citizens and businesses refuse to pay federal taxes.
•Financial Withdrawals: Coordinated cash withdrawals to deny the government easy asset seizures.
•Localized Governance: States and counties begin holding onto federal tax revenue, keeping it within their borders to fund local services.
•Information Warfare: Millions of people flood social media and independent platforms with leaks, whistleblower testimony, and damning evidence.

The Breaking Point

A supermajority of Americans — 75% of the population, cutting across political, racial, and class lines — conclude the entire federal leadership is corrupt beyond repair.

Unified Demands:
1.Immediate removal of the current regime (all top elected officials + key intelligence and law enforcement leadership).
2.Full public release of Epstein files without redactions.
3.Disclosure of foreign intelligence involvement (Mossad, MI6, CIA cooperation) in U.S. affairs.
4.A new independent investigation into 9/11, free from political oversight.

Scenario:

Public distrust in the U.S. government hits unprecedented levels.
•Catalysts:
•Evidence (or widely believed claims) surface tying Trump directly to Jeffrey Epstein.
•Anti-ICE and anti-government sentiment spikes due to aggressive immigration crackdowns, domestic surveillance, and police/military overreach.
•Revelations or leaked intel hinting at deep state involvement in past events (e.g., alleged Mossad ties to Epstein, alternate theories on 9/11) gain mainstream traction.

@davidicke Ayyy lol.

I’ve often wondered this myself. One day a guy driving a 90s Honda Civic is going to take us both out.

[Together At The Joystick @AtTheJoystick]

🤔 what is the cause of this?

[Together At The Joystick @AtTheJoystick]

@BananaBall_ @sunshineluders 😁 👏 great job. 👏 makes us Texans proud.

We chase nostalgia not just because we miss the past, but because deep down we’re waiting for the cycle to come back around… for life to feel like that again. Safe. Warm. Meaningful.

Like we’re not just stuck in a loop — we’re hoping the next pass through the circle lands us closer to who we used to be, or maybe who we should’ve been.

[Together At The Joystick @AtTheJoystick]

I swear we live in a flat circle. ⭕️

We reminisce because we can’t wait to loop back into happier times again.
