Leftists’ Civil War Fantasies Are Not Going to Work Out the Way They Think

Was that before or after he was shot in the head from behind?

I will not dispute that many took advantage of the situation, but Lincoln built the apparatus they exploited.

And Simon Cameron was just one member of his cabinet who was obviously corrupt.

[cowboyusa]

No, 1913 did, with the Fed, the Income Tax and the 17th Ammendment.The Income tax was ended shortly after the Civil war.

[for-q-clinton]

Really? Well the trapped them on J6.

[DeWalt]

Not sure but they likely chose California and Texas because they’re both “ Republics”.

[unclebankster]

Agreed. Keep in mind that this is part of their hatred of religion. Karl Marx viewed religion as something that stands in the way of his idealized classless society. Of course, that’s a euphemism.

They’re real goal is to have two classes: the few haves and the many have-nots. They see religion as something that empowers the lower class, thus they have to get rid of religion. That’s probably how Karl Marx viewed religion as well, though he wasn’t bold enough to put it like that.

The climate change religion is the opium of liberal people.

After enough environmental information-propaganda is pumped into their brains, a fanatical zealot appears.

[Dr. Franklin]

A liberal wet dream. Of course it’s all projection. The complete opposite is true. They’d LOVE to install Mao’s communism. This all sounds very Mao’ism like. Publicly shame the “bad guys”.

I think they are in love with Xi's capitalist system and society run by a social elite of ChiComs. Mao's society is too primitive for them, but they crave to rule an authoritarian society like the modern ChiComs.

[Dr. Franklin]

They cannot win. But neither can we.

They are winning now exactly because no one confronted them en masse We cannot win if we do not fight.

All a civil war would do is destroy them country. Even if somehow you could win, (whatever that means) you would now inherit a country where half the population despises you. It would make reconstruction look like a picnic because libs are literally everywhere.

Libs aren't everywhere. They are predominately urban and suburban elites. The masses in the cities are catching on that they are to be replaced by the illegals. They understand the $5000 bonus for illegals isn't for their benefit. The Libs are less than half the population, but through corporate media propaganda and election fraud they project that their numbers are greater than what the actually are. The can create an army of phantom voters for election day, but phantom voters lack real muscle or marksmanship.

They’re not totally wrong. ULTIMATELY there IS a theocracy installed, but not by anybody well-known in Washington DC.

All who adamantly oppose Him will be personally assassinated by him.

It’s in The Book.

But, yeah, first there’s your “more realistic” scenario, which the left will doubtless embrace fully.

[Chickensoup]

Not seeing it. There’s a significant problem that the American left faces. They don’t have any guns. They’ve spent so long hating on the Americans who do that the Americans who do have tripled down. October 2023 was one of the top months ever in gun sales, which is a beacon of hope in this dark night of Democrat misery. But Dems aren’t the ones buying the guns. I’ve been to a gun store recently. I did not see a lot of hipsters, Palesimpians, wokeoids, or obnoxious Volvo-driving wine women. Instead, I saw a lot of guys who look like they can do a push-up. That’s not exactly the leftist demographic.

....

Author is so wrong!

Left has plenty of guns. They have been the major purchasers of guns recently. They gather in Brown groups to train without government hassle.
They have police and military under their control.

Lots of weapons under leftist control in this country. Lots.

[Chickensoup]

The movie is an information film for leftists.

A how to.

[Chickensoup]

Quitter?

Look at things realistically instead of through the drama in your head.

You have no power.

None.

The internet drains the impetus.

[CodeToad]

“You have no power.”

That’s a silly childish challenge to prove otherwise.

I have no respect nor expectations of people like you. You’ll sit on your ass and do nothing. You have no power because you refuse to exercise it. You won’t stop them nor me from doing anything. You are of no concern to me or anyone else. You’ll only run to the end of your chain and bark.

[GranTorino]

When you can do the same to them.

[Maelstrom]

They do have guns.

They just don’t want anyone else to have them.

[Dick Vomer]

The civil war that would happen in the US if it were to occur would be horrific.

Every single talking head, celebrity, their families and any lawyer,reporter,judge,professor,teacher,cop, HOA official, ...anyone that isn’t on one side is considered and enemy by the other side.

There is no front line, there are NO rules of engagement, there isn’t even an “army” or “navy” or “air force”... all that will be present will be “combatants”.

Poorly trained, poorly equiped, poorly organized men and women in an ocean of men and women trying to just live in peace.

There will be no peace. There will be no protection. There will only be death and every single idiot that thought a civil war was going to be a bunch of guys in gray or blue lineing up and firing at each other is an idiot.

Do yourselves a favor. read “Modern Warfare A French View of Counter Insurgency” by Roger Trinquier. Read the nuts and bolts of this very thin book and you’ll see why our southern border is open, why BLM/Antifa/democrats/RINOs allow the libs to riot and burn while conservatives are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the criminal and civil law. ...bankrupt or in prison.

I hope I’m alive to see the results of 75.8% of the population realizing that 13% of the populace isn’t that great of a loss.
