Do you guys think the US military would, by and large, turn its guns inward on US soil?

Personally I’m a bit skeptical—they’re our brothers and sisters after all. I think a good 60% of the military would quit if they were asked to fire on US citizens.

Even if it was a civil war roughly along party lines and no military quit on either side, the distribution of of military seems like it would be closer to a 60/40 or a 50/50 distribution than it would be 100% of the military on the conservative side vs a civilian army on the other.

Military by state

Decided to paste it into notes instead

Really is boggling—don’t think I’ve seen that many holds on anything at all

Memes in general seem to be in a slump to me, though political memes aren’t usually haha funny in any political milieu

Ohh good sleuthing. My library doesn’t have it:( Are there any holds on it now?

I’m racking my brain for another theory because I don’t understand reserving a book you don’t want, but I’m coming up blank!

I wish there was some way to dig into this mysterious goat photo collection’s popularity! Do you remember the title?

I almost info dumped in my post but didn’t so now you’ve given me the opportunity to share my additional libby tips for people who aren’t familiar:

• Put holds on popular titles you want to read so that you’ll be in line for them and will have a rotating door of available titles. You can choose to ‘deliver later’ to let the next person in line read it before you without going to the back of the line.
• Some library systems have a larger selection than others and even within the same system some allow more holds than others (this is the case in NYC at least) so it’s worth picking up a card wherever you’re eligible including university libraries.
• If your library system is underfunded and you have family in an area more well funded, they likely have a broader selection. Perhaps a family member who isn’t digitally inclined might let you use their library card #. [Caveat that they will have access to your history via their library record].

Seconding audiobooks! If you’re in the US you can usually rent them free via Libby app by entering your library card info.

Turtles because of how much they look like they’re enjoying the sun. I feel like they have something figured out.

But providing weapons isn’t that bad, only the people doing the actual shooting are responsible for it. Guns don’t kill people /s
