Time to gear up and match their abilities. Leveling the playing field with weapons banned for actual warfare would not be off limits for me in that situation. They attack, so theoretically preparation is key.
Coordinate the attack when automated laser turrents permanently blind their squad... (and no, goggles won't help) because that would be easily in my ballpark of skill to build. (Eye Tracking is a basic function of Open CV, Galvos and UV Lasers are easily obtainable... I don't need guns or ammo.... theoretically speaking of course, I'm not even American and so glad that I won't come into such a severe situation. But "liberals" like me are able to do this, remotely from a save distance... 100%, solar powered indefinitely the size of a shoebox)
Edit: Hello Homeland Security, no I have no intention of building this. The explanation is only for the sake of the argument.
i like your style. i used to take comfort in knowing that the left was far more tech savvy, which i felt was going to be key, but these days i'm not so sure.
I wouldn't say I'm left. Just... not a Nazi? And I don't like Billionaires / Power Accumulations.
Much more interesting would be what side the military would pick. They decide. Everything else is just toys wielded by children. And as of now, they are not so fond of Trump as it seems.
this is correct, which is also an angle that would need to be played. the right has to look like the aggressor, or at least has to be tricked into making a move that the military would have to take action over.
