Some want to prevent a civil war, Democrats want to provoke it - All in the name of saving democracy

The left says there’s a civil war brewing, a conflict whose roots it finds in parents angry about LGBTQ indoctrination in the schools, pro-life protesters and the Jan. 6 fiasco, but not in the orgy of Black Lives Matter/antifa violence of 2020, chaos at the border, anarchy in the streets of our cities or the pro-Hamas mobs swarming over college campuses.

The fact that “Civil War” is the most popular movie in the country shows that audiences will swallow any absurdity as long as it’s sufficiently coated with graphic violence.

“Civil War” is about a future conflict that pits secessionist states, improbably led by Texas and California, against those loyal to the national government, mostly in the Northeast.

The film’s director and screenwriter, Alex Garland, won’t tell us what led to the carnage. A Brit, Mr. Garland knows as much about U.S. politics as I do about Ethiopian architecture.

He recently told an interviewer, “Extremism encourages extremism, and extremism is dangerous.” So, extremism is wrong, right? And in the words of Emil Faber — founder of the fictional college in “Animal House” — “Knowledge is good.”

Mr. Garland warns that extremism “is not abstractly dangerous. It’s dangerous in a really concrete, serious way,” which is about as deep as “Mairzy Doats.”

Like extremism, insurrection is in the eye of the beholder. The left is leading an insurrection against the Constitution. Instead of guns and bullets, it’s using the institutions of government to overthrow the republic.

President Biden, who looks like a walking cadaver, is digging a grave for representative government.

The president has decided he can ignore any laws or rulings he doesn’t like. The Supreme Court told him he lacked the authority to cancel student loan debt. But he does it anyway.

People need to remember that when Democrats say democracy is being destroyed or that they want to save democracy, what they are saying is that the democrat party is being destroyed and they want to save the democrat party. It has nothing to do with democracy . Just change the word democracy with the words Democrat Party.

I think you would get something akin to the civil war that raged in Ireland for nearly a century. More clan or faction against another with mob like hits on each side civilian and government with it occasionally turning out into the open.

Lord knows the Democrats love violence and rebellion, they just can’t help themselves. Lincoln should have banned that party from existence in 1865. I hope this cup passes from us but am afraid the progressive Democrats will force it upon us again.

“But I think the Civil War has already begun.”

It has. Obama’s so-called “army” was destroyed in the spring of 2020.

Mayor Groot of Chicago send her black goons out to destroy Mexican neighborhoods and businesses in May 2020. The Mexicans beat the crap out of BLM and sent them back to the ghetto. Here’s a video. View it now before the propagandists take it down.
