It wouldn’t start a war because he’s Donald Trump, it would start a war because it would mean tyranny. It would mean the people have been denied a representative they elected who won fair and square.

If that was the reason how come the northern states didn’t ban slavery until after the civil war was over?

They did. Slavery had been abolished in most of the Northern states. They weren't going to abolish slavery in the South. They left that up to the Southerners themselves.

Meh...I think it’s a good enough reason. In fact, it is the precise reason the founders codified our natural right to bear arms with the 2nd amendment... to stop coups, to remove despotic governments, to defend from invaders, etc.

Amazing how liberals can twist things out of recognition every time It’s as if there is some strange quantum physics thing going on, merging two universes together, one of matter and the other of antimatter, and we’re just waiting for the explosion.

Windsor Mann is a typical progressive socialist. He projects, constantly. And he lies by omission. The only people who’ve committed violence are pretty much all far left nut jobs doing mass shootings, antifa and BLM. During the 2016 campaign the dems sent trained agitators to Trump rallies to commit violence against Trump supporters, remembered what happened after his rally in Chicago. In fact Project Veritas published undercover videos of high ranking democrats admitting they use violence and intimidation as political tactics. So Windsor Mann should be preaching her message to her allies in the progressive socialist globalist movement, they’re the ones trying to ignite a civil war, but I doubt they understand the fire they’re playing with. And this is definitely a case, for the progressives of, be careful what you for, you might just get it.

There’s no opinion. There are facts of which you may be unaware.

Of all the reasons to start a civil war, preserving slavery is the worst. But keeping President Trump in power is pretty high up on the list.

Can't see the forest for the trees ping. This author is like the person who said if a woman is going to be raped she might as well acquiesce and try to enjoy it. He wants us to submit to the destruction of our constitution, laws, and country. He's either the biggest dope or deliberately lying. This is so much bigger than Trump.

It isn’t about keeping Donald Trump in power. It’s about fighting against the duly-elected president being overthrown by a gang of authoritarian liars,thugs, and scumbags. Doesn’t that matter?

One thing I have always about Donald Trump: he has all the right enemies.

Lies is all they have. Less than 5% of Confederates were slave holders. The 95% who weren’t were fighting because the Union refused to allow them to peacefully secede.

Civil War has already commenced. It’s just not hot yet.

It was started by the Swamp, frightened to death of losing its long-held grip on power.

You don’t recall correctly. The Union had plenty of War Democrats including Lincoln’s 2nd VP.

Now they decide to try wrapping themselves in the Constitution?

Too bad that their refusal to accept Trump’s election is not a high crime or misdemeanor on his part.

We can argue the case with logic and reason, but as that has not worked due to the cognitive impairment of the left, we are now looking at more effective methods of getting our points across.

Worse reasons to start a Civil War:

1. Depose a duly elected president

2. To impose Marxism

3. To impose Socialism (but I repeat myself)

4. To preserve the power of the Mediacracy

5. To disarm the people

6. To eliminate freedom of speech

7. To impose the Green New Deal

8. To eliminate freedom of religion.

9. To Force conversion to Islam.

10. To commit genocide.

Gee... those were easy.

We still have not recovered from the first one. Removing troops from the South helped. Then TR whose Father was a Yankee and his Mother a Southern Belle probably did more that anyone. TR liked both sections genuinely.

The wars from 1900 to 1945 also brought us together, then the radical leftists began to take control again. They basically used the Constitution as toilet paper and many on FR still agree with them. The 10th amendment is treated as if it says exactly the opposite of what it does say.

Unless we go back to the Constitution there will eventually be another war. Add in things like gun control, abortion at any time. Judges who will decide the way they want rather than what the law actually is.
