This Isn’t a Warning Anymore: The Left Is Ready for War, and Republicans Are Ready to Surrender
Flopping Aces ^ | 02-02-26 | Vince

Posted on 02/02/2026 7:16:18 AM PST by Starman417

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 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, but still, the Republicans do nothing about it.

But the catalyst for the Summer of Love circa 2026 (which is already starting) won’t be election integrity per se, but rather immigration. The challenge is that the Democrats have spread 50 million illegal aliens across the entire country. From Maine to California and everywhere in between. This will not be like the Civil War, where the two sides were mostly geographically separated. No, this is going to be like a dozen people thrown into cage matches all around the country.

And why is this going to be the Big One? Because as we’re seeing in Minneapolis, the left has perfected the business model of professional protest movementeers. They’ve been training for more than 25 years. We saw it in the WTO protests in Seattle in 1999, the IMF protests in DC in 2000, Occupy Wall Street in 2011, and the 2020 version of the Summer of Love.

They’ve literally been perfecting it for the last quarter century, and now they are preparing to strike. They are well funded, have a millions-strong army who have been exhorted to hate and violence by a treasonous media, are highly organizedproactive, and most of all, local governments around the country, even some in red states, are on their side.

The result will be a spreading of what we’re seeing in Minnesota as the temperatures rise, and it will be a perfect storm of success for them, regardless of how it turns out. On the one hand, there are countless “observers” who are willing to risk their lives to go out and attack ICE agents because they know that, if they die, they’ll be lionized as freedom fighters who laid down their lives in the defense of innocent children, regardless of the actual facts, and the propaganda value will be immeasurable to their cause.

What’s more, on the off chance that any of the protesters actually get arrested, the local DAs will release them without bail or charges, or federal judges will refuse to sign off on the arrest warrants. None of this, of course, is speculation. It’s all real and happening right now.

Whatever the outcome, the left wins. If their troops are killed while fighting ICE, we’re told that the fascist Trump is guilty of the murder of innocents. If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, he’s a dictator. If a governor calls out the National Guard, it’s a police state. Whichever way it works, the media will spin it as David versus Goliath, with the law-abiding citizens and ICE characterized as the Philistines.

Minnesota is only the beginning. It’s likely the left will pursue a multi-month strategy in which they hit multiple cities simultaneously and others in isolation to distract and fragment the administration’s attention.

But the Summer of Love is just one element of the treachery that is going to go on. To appease these leftists, the Republicans are going to bend themselves into pretzels trying to prove that they are not what they are being accused of.

Perhaps browsers could use AI to ‘red frame’ AI images.

It’s much easier to start a revolution and destroy a civilization than it is to work hard over hundreds of years to build one.

And, EVERYTHING is a target when you are a revolutionary. But, who and what do civilized people, even outraged ones, get to randomly attack in order to preserve civilization? It’s an old problem, as even Tacitus noted in 100 A.D.

Two Texas Democrats win runoff elections in races with extremely low voter turnout

Frankly, the Demonrats have nothing to lose. They are facing a jump into the trash dumpster of history, which is where they belong.

Consider: they are defending murderers, rapists, drug runners, human traffickers, and G_d knows what other criminals. There’s no possible justification, so they are reduced to shouting lies and destruction.

Be assured they will not stop.

There will be violence... but I think the majority of Americans are done with their BS. Death throes of a political party.

Please stop this stupid talk you are embarrassing yourself. They arenow up to paying between 6k and 15k to their professionaL insurrectionists. If they had a stream of AWFULs coming forward they could pay the half of that Soros is now talking about Trump. Why? Because he knows we have the proof we need to stop him.
Plus at least 400 million legal guns.

The republican’ts surrendered a long, long time ago. At this point, they are mostly actively colluding with the leftists/demoncraps.

The framework is familiar, a movie we have seen numerous times before:

the miscreants of the left create a disturbance over some manufactured “cause.”

The authorities seek to manage or restore order by intervening.

The perpetrators resist and engage with the authorities, escalating the disorder, instigating further violence until someone does something stupid, creating a martyr.

The media jump in, waving the bloody shirt, blaming the disorder on the authorities, while exonerating the perps from responsibility.

The general cry goes up to restore the peace by caving to the perpetrators’ demands, and punishing the innocent.
A tentative temporary peace is achieved, but the movie never ends well.

Folks,

and that is why this is more a test of us, not them.

We have to be clear in what we are fighting for and use the methods that reflect that. It is going to take a generation to change things. Our Founding Fathers created an inefficient, slow moving, checks and balances with intentional design.

Ever wonder why?

When the guns come out, all bets are off.

There are 500,000,000 guns in America, virtually all of which are in our hands.

You really want to go kinetic?

Works for me!

Of course the Left is going to stir up trouble but this time the Trump team is ready for them and it’s not going to be a repeat of the Summer of Live riots

At every level, they are going to give in to the left, they are going to “compromise” their principles.

You still think they have principles?

Bless your heart.

At the founding of our nation, a few were patriots, more supported the king, and many didn’t care. The percentages were debatable but it is clear the patriots were a minority.

Who won and why?

“ They are well funded, have a millions-strong army…”

I don’t believe they have a millions strong army. We are seeing many of the paid rioters moving from state to state to conduct their riots. Ice say many of those in Minnesota are from out of state. These are the violent ones.

Laugh about this terminology all you want, but the left is getting combat experience every day this continues. While we continue to work and peacefully live out our lives, not prepared as such.

Were you g to be in martial law at some point. I think Trump is just waiting to invoke the insurrection act until its so bad the average person is fine with it.
