Minnesota Shows Why the Left Will Win America’s 2026 Civil War

The saddest thing about this is that the Republicans will work with the left to ensure their victory.

The United States is facing an existential threat. My guess is this summer will be the most violent, damaging domestic summer since the Civil War. And I predict the left will win and come out victorious on the other side. They will, after winning this new civil war, seek to eliminate the last vestiges of republicans.

I use a small r because while some Republicans are true republicans, most are not. And when the left wins the war, those RINOs are going to “work with” Democrats to create the illusion that America is still a republic, but it won’t be. They will use every tool available to silence dissent, take control over virtually every sector of American life, and they will implement rules so that America becomes a one-party nation.

Now I say all of this with the great hope that I am wrong, but I don’t think I will be.

The cowardly Republicans are going to cave in every conceivable manner in order to try to forestall a civil war. At every level, they are going to give in to the left, they are going to “compromise” their principles, and they are going to betray their voters and our Founding Fathers.

And I mean that at every level in every branch. There is simply no universe where Republicans have the intestinal fortitude to do what’s right in the face of withering attacks from the left.

There is literally no better example of this than election integrity. Nothing animates GOP voters like election integrity. Not abortion. Not welfare fraud. Not guns. (A majority of Democrats support it as well!) Literally nothing gets rank-and-file Republicans more animated in 2026 than elections

Well, of course, because you won’t stop, you must be more intelligent and knowledgeable about everything in the world than anyone else

Just because you were there longer, doesn’t make you anything, just have wasted time longer

I think you’re wrong and like to blame others

And can’t stop posting lol

You couldn't hack it, and you left. Now you want me to tell you that you were right, no conservative could be expected to carry on in such a tough environment. But that's snowflake talk.

The fact is, when conservatives abdicated from teaching our nation's young, the liberals took over.

[CottonBall]

Nope, the liberals took over first

And I don’t know if one should be proud of being able to hack a job where they are useless and ineffective. That’s nothing to be proud of. Most teachers have no other choices because they have useless degrees. My engineer friends are found really good jobs or went back to really good jobs or just retired like they were going to anyway, when you have a degree that took effort to get you have choices.

When you made your own liberal arts, then you’re stuck. Nothing to be proud of.

You only stayed because teachers in California are vastly overpaid. Another reason the state is going broke.

I’m done, I’m sure the others here aren’t interested in the cat fight. It’s embarrassing for everybody. Need to change your username

Three childish replies, and NOW you’re done? I think perhaps it’s best you quit when you did. Kids need to see conservatives they can emulate, and I don’t see anything in your replies that suggest you have either the temperament or the maturity.
