The Perilous Passage
According to Hoyt ^ | 4 Oct 2019 | Sarah Hoyt

Posted on 10/05/2019 7:34:31 AM PDT by Politically Correct

What I’m saying is that the violence will have bloody nothing to do with anyone’s concept of a civil war. Because of how emulsified the population is, how long we’ve been infiltrated, and the growing but far from complete catastrophic technological innovation effect… well, we’re in terra incognita here. The ship has hit what should be the edge of the flat Earth, it’s not sailing out into space, and we’re all still trying to make it fit into our mental disk-like map of the world. Us and the left, too.

On their side too, you see clamoring for the progroms of the 20th century, adult happy fun camps, free health care for everyone including illegals, etc. seemingly unaware that we can actually hear them and see them. That these conversations are no longer in their very own smoke-filled rooms, and properly cleaned and primped up by the press for general public consumption.

On our side, you see people saying we should have a jolly civil war, or some kind of uprising. It reminds me of Mercutio ranting at Romeo in Romeo and Juliet: MERCUTIO: O calm dishonourable, vile submission!

Yes, I know that it's a blog. But it's a blog from someone that has a lot of practical experience in the area of rebellions and civil war.

It's long and the above is only an excerpt. It's a must read. Read the comments as well.

Yeah, I know.
But after all it is News/Activism....Surely it counts towards the latter.

IMO, great Blog. One passage worth noting, addressing Prez Trump:

“And if — note IF — he does it will be because there was a divine thumb on the scales, because all the deck is stacked against us.”

I had to think about that for a bit as well.
What I think she’s saying is that unlike the War of Northern Aggression we are not geographically separated. Leftists and Rightists live next door to each other.
It’s going to make target selection a nightmare.

The War Between the States wasn’t a true “civil war”

It was a war between hostile sovereign political entities.

I thought it was the perfect word to describe the situation. Wish I’d thought of it myself.

Some of you may have read my thoughts on this before. If a CW were to start, the front lines will be our front doors...not some manufactured line of demarcation.

Reagan brought down the Soviet empire, and Trump is finishing Reagan’s work by bringing down the infiltration that occurred in our system. Interesting.

My spouse and I have talked about it, it would be hard.

I believe that a couple thousand demrats taken into custody could do the trick. Their die-hard supporters would go violent and we would have a smaller target and the leftists I know would slink into their rathole, they don’t want to/can’t fight except for their disgusting dialogue.

Living in a small town, I know very few who would actually have the courage to bring a fight but I know 100s who are willing to defend our country while the majority don’t really pay attention.

The majority of Trump haters are women and I don’t know even one who could shoot a gun. Women with guns support Trump.

She’s a writer. The usage stopped me, too, for a moment, especially when she used it more than once.

But you know what? It works. Think about it: emulsion is a mixture of two liquids normally not mixable. One is dispersed evenly throughout the other in still-distinct globules. But you have a very difficult time separating them. They will separate into distinct layers if left still, but when mixed, you cannot target one liquid to the exclusion of the other.

Just one reason Sarah is traditionally published in a very politically-correct genre. She is a wordsmith.

A good read, a summation of some of the best thinking.

It can be said this way. Avoid a civil war, because it will be very hard to hold the republic through one.

Support President Trump as he threads this needle to pull the Republic through this crises.

Yes, emulsified but not impossible to separate. It happened in Germany with the Jews who were emulsified into the population. If it gets to that point it can only be done by big government who will take unwanted Republicans off the streets, destroy their business (already being done with Chick fil a and TV hosts), harass the population (already done with doxing), etc. Once guns are removed, we will see train loads of Republicans being shipped in cattle cars to some unknown location, which is literally the end of the world for them. It was done to the Jews and there is nothing to stop the insanity happening again. The technological police state is upon us and there is no privacy or “safe space” like an Anne Frank’s attic to hide in.

And the irony is that Germany was a civilized, Christian nation when this Jewish round up and holocaust happened. If it could happen to them, it could happen here. History can repeat itself.

And I noticed she used “progrom” instead of “pogrom”
