Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

So what's the end game?

Benito, Tojo and Adolph have started the western alliance. Is the plan to secede? Or cripple the economy with such fear, uncertainty and doubt that we'll all just cave to the will of the Central Party Planners?

It's clear health concerns mean shit - otherwise there wouldn't be ridiculous arbitrary 'essential' businesses and absurd 'guidelines' for things like golf.

So, seriously - what's the goal here? And when should the revolt begin to stop it?

    Could happen sooner, but July/August will be the breaking point when PPP forgiveness rules have passed and an even bigger wave of people get laid off and no government workers have been laid off.

    Don't think the population has that much patience.

    So, what is the end game goal? Anarchy? Trying to wait Trump out until November? Split off to form a new nation?

    Logically, I can't get to any of those - but I"m not a socialist so haven't been properly brainwashed in the whole end justifies the means ideology.

    I think the end game is to get Trump and the Senate. They think we are like them and will just wait in line to get slaughtered. Then they think there is a magic switch they can turn on, just like they think Barry did in 2009. The worst recovery since the FDR Great Depression. That switch.

    So when Trump calls in the Federal troops to support people going back to work and Barr starts charging state governors and bureaucrats with violation of civil rights, then what?

    We aren't like them at all - you'd think after the house impeachment debacle, they'd learn. Trumps approval numbers went way up. And they are rolling out Crazy Dementia Joe as the solution?

    It varies. Full Maoism is the final solution for left elitists. The weak will follow no questions asked. Conversely, dismantling of local and state governments is going to catch on like fire.

    Predicting Inslee is angling for an income tax is like predicting that the sun will come up tomorrow.

    What is going to last? We kicking off with full fans on Labor Day weekend? You seem to be lacking some fundamental understanding on what is going on.

    That would require a change in the State constitution and a vote of the people.

    The same people who elected Inslee? Oregon has killed a sales tax forever. Last year, the super majority of dems in the Oregon legislature installed a mini sales tax at half a percent. That will be the major push in future years to raise taxes that were lost as a result of the dem imposed shut down.

    Even Washington libs aren't stupid enough to believe the income tax will replace the sales tax. Like H they just talk about paying more

    It would be like most other states. An income tax and a sales tax. Seattle imposed a capital gains tax. Shot down under the Washington Constitution. But that can be changed. States were screaming for additional tax dollars with the hot economy we had. They killed it. With collapsing tax revenue they will be like a junkie coming down from a decades long bender. They will kill for the fix.
