I think we’ll see more of a Weather Underground thing first.

From there, who knows?

[ExGeeEye]

Won’t be us firing the first shot.

The second? Maybe.

The last? Probably.

[SkyDancer]

Climate change or global warming will do it. It depends upon the current narrative.

If people no longer believe that ballots are a sufficient substitute for bullets, then violence is the logical consequence.

Good article.

The question on the table today is whether the Left as a whole will continue to abide by the rulebook and rely on the political process—which includes a guarantee of free speech—or try through nefarious means to destroy opposing opinions with force.

The author has apparently not been paying attention.

They have not been abiding by the rule book for a very long time.

The question on the table today is whether the Left as a whole will continue to abide by the rulebook and rely on the political process.

Really? I think that question has been answered in many ways, and the answer is a resounding no. Since they do not believe in the Constitution, for them there is no rule book to abide by.

[Mariner]

Anyone ostensibly on the right who cautions about a slide into violence is not to be trusted.

They just don’t want us to defend ourselves. And they most certainly do not want us to prevail.

Generalized Civil War, one of not regional but political division, is one that would end the left for 5 generations.

It’s Time To Stop Our Cold Civil War From Heating Up

It's time for it to come to a head and turn hot. I am tired of this slow walk to destruction. We will win because that's what winners do!

Let’s try to keep it from escalating.

OTOH, it might be useful to tie Kathy Griffin to every liberal candidate.

[MrEdd]

No it isn’t.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

You can’t negotiate or even talk to leftist psychopaths. Bill Ayers is living proof of that.

Interesting read, but WTH is this? >>> Trump is often vulgar

Vulgar? I guess the Bar is set a little low for this guy.

Civil war? It’s a commie insurgency!

“It’s Dangerous to Force Others’ Assent”

When they weaponized government to enforce not just “tolerance” but active participation in and support for choices that violate scripture, that was the beginning of the end of civil discourse. When Big Government fined two bakers $135k for refusing to customize a cake with an endorsement of a gay parody of marriage, we knew that freedom of religion was being murdered and the constitutional ban on excessive fines was being eviscerated.

When Big Government did the same to photographers, florists, Bed and Breakfast owners, and all other Christians who were minding their own business, we knew this was about power. Thugs on the left get a kick out of bullying and controlling others. It’s about good and evil.

The Second Civil War is already happening. Our only choice is whether we will be unarmed Yazidis cowering on a mountaintop three years ago, where they were surrounded and given a choice of extermination or enslavement, or we will be Israeli soldiers standing up in The Valley of Tears in 1973 to face odds of 5:1 and 10:1 but still winning. Trusting to the tender mercies of the Ctrl-Left is not a choice I am willing to make. We already know how they treat those they are able to crush.

I will not assent. I hope the terrorists on the political left understand just how dangerous it is (to them) to attempt to force assent.

Can't be effective with "Constitutional rules of engagement" when the enemy who has started the war loathes the Constitution and insists that using violence is a valid for of speech. The author pretty much told us why we can't use the "civil discourse" method when he wrote, "The question on the table today is whether the Left as a whole will continue to abide by the rulebook and rely on the political process—which includes a guarantee of free speech—or try through nefarious means to destroy opposing opinions with force. The former is a choice for the Constitution; the latter—let us speak candidly—is the beginnings of a declaration of war."

IOW - to quote a phrase from an old John Prine song, - "Far From Me" A question ain't really a question If you know the answer too.."
