It was bait. And everyone took the bait. They now work the same way IRL as they have been working online for years. Same tactics.
“You think guns will help?! The government has NUKES!!! Hahah!!!” This is a meme argument that people have pushed online, constantly. It doesn’t matter that it’s not really logical, it’s emotional and makes them look strong vs the weak enemy.
not to mention it opens up lines like "so you would rather rule the ruins then accept a threat to your rule?" or simpler and less wordy "wow, biden thinks life is cheap"
Nuking the enemy is generally a bad idea unless there are zero allies in the area and the enemy is too well dug in.
I do expect them to carpet bomb any area we control, likely sending advance agents to warn remaining allies that they are about to carpet bomb an area so that they can evacuate, that doesn't mean they are not willing to write off any of our pow's before bombing an area though...
No it's the same kind of slip as when he admitted to voter fraud on live camera. He has severe dementia, that kind of thing happens. In this case, it's just an example of how each and every leftist is a tyrant if given any power at all.
They fail to realise that most of us know more about the military and how the equipment and manpower works.
We know MREs arent filled in factories by magic, that food is grown.
We know that your F15, your Bradley and your M1 is bulletproof to 5.56, but the tanker trucks hauling fuel isn't.
A lot of guys out there know damned well a sufficient amount of fertilizer will flip a Abrams upside down.
The guys flying and driving, they live either on or near base, and when they are busy killing people in fly-over states, their families are at home alone.
Your F15 and tank is nice and all, but someone has to get on the ground and do foot patrols. And everybody's gangster, until the cornfields start speaking redneck.
Even this assumes tanks planes and helicopters could pinpoint one side. That only happens if there's large concentration of force, like so many have been clamoring for. That's bad strategy. Our side needs to learn from insurgents.
It also assumes they would be the only ones with that equipment, and that there wouldnt be at least a few defectors (or even a ton of defectors, since a lot of the Combat Arms have been aggressively rejecting the Woke push, and its not like POGs and REMF are fighters). Hell, you can probably even throw in State National Guard units, unless you really expect me to believe the Texas or Florida National Guard would fight their states they swear allegiance to.
But even ignoring that, the quote still holds true:
"Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics."- Gen. Omar Bradley (maybe)
If the United States government wasn't willing to nuke Afghanistan nor Iraq in over 20 years, they sure as fuck aren't nuking part of the contiguous United States.
The moment he said it I had to do a double take, because the loose frame of that argument (2nd amendment is about militias and not a check on government power, because why no private sector nukes or F-15s?) is literally what was being argued by liberals on Digg circa 2007.
It's an old canard. They're trying to make the other side look silly by throwing down an outrageous form of the argument when they don't even understand what they're arguing about. More than anything I think Joe was just trying to soothe his supporters and was giving them something 'easy' to chew on to make them happy. No thought behind it, just a reflex fallback to something he heard before that he thought sounded good.
I was regularly debating the left on Digg back then and it was tedious as hell. Someone making that sort of argument tends to want to fall back on moral superiority - 'your position is so ridiculous, obviously mine is the right one.'
Only urban centers are were nukes would be effective. In red States like Texas, Ohio, Georgia and blue States like NY, California, Washington, Oregon only the cities vote for demonrats. He'd be nuking the only democrat voters that aren't already dead.
I find it funny that people on the far right took his befuddled remarks so seriously. Did you watch the video? He was barely coherent. Even if you took it literally it makes no sense. You don't fight civil war with nukes or air-to-air combat jets.
Pretty much this. People also forget that the point of keeping an armed society isn't even so the citizens could organize to take on the army. That's not what armed resistance to the Feds would look like, and isn't even what would be needed.
Bold of you to assume Biden had any intent when he spoke his words. Now, the people yelling into his earpiece that he repeats, THEIR plan, that's a different story.
Not to mention, if the commies did drop a nuke, it won't end well for them in the end. Basically the entire population would turn on them at that point. The ones that already hated them will be immediately bloodlusted to kill them.
So, in a way, I almost welcome it so the commies are quicker to get their asses destroyed.

He’s said the F-15 line before only it was hellfire missiles instead of nukes. I think it was during his tenure as VP.
Did so again while on campaign for 2020. Used nukes too and the audience laughed.
Definitely an attempt to demoralize, them thinking we're as stupid as they are. If we were? THAT would be demoralizing!
They're saying your AR can't beat tanks and planes and helicopters. The stupid, it hurts!

THIS. During the 1st civil war NG straight bounced from states they aren't from, even took ships and other supplies with them.
They say it’s a weapon of war but useless against a military.
That's funny right thar, I don't care who you are
I love how he leaves off the "...And Tyrants" off of the end of that quote. Probably because he and his handlers sweat nervously about that part.
obviously because they're tyrants themselves

If it was it was a pathetic attempt. I do not fear death, and neither should anyone else.
Only urban centers are were nukes would be effective. In red States like Texas, Ohio, Georgia and blue States like NY, California, Washington, Oregon only the cities vote for demonrats. He'd be nuking the only democrat voters that aren't already dead.
The democrat voters that survive the nukes wouldn't be democrat voters anymore.
The dead vote D at a higher rate than blacks.

went on gab, bitchute, and pol today, nobody is talking about nukes, not even by mistake. nobody cares what Biden has to say unless he is being funny.
