I they meant in the original concept of the plot, where humans were used for their brains' processing power. In the movie I don't think it would matter too much since they just need our heat and electricity.

My many issues with deploying federal forces against states' wills aside, I 100% would rather be dealing with a US Army Airborne division than the incompetent, untrained, and malicious goons that make up ICE.
Because the whole point was that he was sent to die for humanity's sins.
Also animals being able to change sex does not make them trans. Being transgender has to do with gender identity and its relation to biological sex.
States don't pay federal taxes, citizens do.
Catholic dogma may be relatively strict, I'm not sure, I haven't extensively studied other sects of Christianity. But Catholic people are, in my experience, pretty chill. If anything they're a much more "love the sinner, hate the sin" kind of bunch. It's the evangelicals you gotta watch out for.
I'm no longer religious, but Catholics are on the chiller side of the Christian spectrum.

Campaigning and fundraising is already happening but both parties. If there weren't going to be midterms, the GOP would not be freaking out about them, campaigning, or fundraising. And they are freaking out about them.
But most importantly there is no such thing as "canceling midterms." States run them, not the federal government. I will be at the polls in November and for the primaries before that and you should be too.
This is just moving the goalposts anyway. I was told that we would never have elections again. We had a lot of them in 2025 and they went very well for the Democrats. Then I was told midterms wouldn't happen. Well they're sure about to. And now it's already moving to "midterms will happen but there will be voter suppression." Yeah, welcome to America. There's always been voter suppression. And we vote and make progress anyway.
Midterms are already happening. And Republicans need them to happen anyway.

I don't remember if it was from one of the movies or one of the other related media, but don't they claim to have put the humans into the matrix out of kindness and sympathy? That they wanted them to have a relatively easy and happy existence.
That becomes very believable if they don't actually need them for power. And in fact it makes me wonder if the machines even need them conscious at all or could just as easily keep them comatose.
