I was chatting with the dad about this topic, and came to a conclusion regarding de-escalation: there is nothing Trump can say regardless of how well his unity message comes across because Hitler would say anything to gain power (eye roll), and there isn't much Biden can do, either. I think we're in this mess due to the MSM amplifying insane things for click$ which feeds the social media echo chambers where it is further amped.
I hate the thought that it's possible the future of our nation now lies solely in the hands of the MSM. Maybe I see signs that at least somebody controlling the programming might recognize that, maybe a war this close to home might be bad for advertising sales, and that maybe axe-grinders like Morning Joe should take a break, and the news reader on NBC seemed quite... fair, regarding the total failure of protective services for Trump.
Is that my imagination? Is there some hope we chill out? I do know cities will burn this November, but maybe, maybe... maybe... we can avoid a shooting war.
Your thoughts?
God is hope friend. Put your faith in Jesus.
Or if the assassin was successful, I can imagine that timeline, with the media smugly declaring Trump deserved his death for the things he said. If that happened, I’m “no” a “non-participant” in whatever they say is the rule of law. Which of course doesn’t mean I’m smashing anything or hurting anyone that isn’t directly threatening my life or the ones I love. Property and life will always be respected. However, it would mean “sovereign citizen” but for real because it would become my LIFE PURPOSE to entice others to join me... probably from the gulag. Heck, our existing J6 political prisoners could use my fine company.
Why would the MSM want to de-escalate the situation? They want to destroy the country. What better way than instigating a civil war? That is, if a civil war were to break out. There was no civil war in Germany in the 1930s. Just an abdication of personal and political rights to the government. No, I think it’s safe to say the MSM will not do the right thing.
“For one thing, we are completely unorganized.”
Are they? I don’t mean the official Democrats, they can’t even run their own party. I mean whoever is behind the scenes.
MSM unfortunately is controlled as we all know by the same people orchestrating this world agenda of viruses, climate, war etc, anything to reduce the populations to their goals. They serve Satan and they are full steam ahead. I learned all about them during my tours.
I see things amping up. I would surmise that you’re right about a divorce, but instead of weaker, you may be surprised. I think some liberal places would break off, but places like Alberta, most of BC, Saskatchewan and most of Manitoba would join the conservative states in heartbeat. We’d be a new superpower with unmatched resources. Alberta alone is a powerhouse of resources. Alberta also has some of the most tenacious people on the planet, I don’t think China or anyone will have a walk in the park. Combine that with a bunch more tenacious real Americans and that in itself would be a huge deterrent. I think the real threat right now is the attacks on our food supplies and the continued release of virus variants and trying to silence anyone who stands against it.
I wish the Dems had kept their promise to hold off the attacks and act more civilized.
They did. For one day. Then Vance got nominated and once again Dems let loose with hatred and invectives.
Expecting Antifa to materialize soon.

They already have. Probably. There are signs that Antifa trained a goofy skinny kid who was bullied in high school.
Kid’s name was Thomas Crooks.
I don’t know. I mean, they control the military. Sure, if somebody on our side declares civil war some will defect to us. Some. Probably not too many. And who is responsible for declaring civil war on our side? They have an advantage of controlling the government. Right there they have an organizational advantage.
Let the courts have a chance to do their work.
Take it easy. Retire if you can. Spend your money down. Don’t make more work for yourself than necessary. Don’t needlessly expand your business or buy a new house. Live well now because civil war would be hell.
There’s no beating communism head on.
There are people that know what to do. If you think you have to blast away with your AR-15 copy, stay home and keep your loved ones safe.
Make sure your young ones have a skill foreign countries want and can speak a foreign language.
As I’m posting here - a thought occurs to me.
Obama seeing the world wide attention being given to Demento Joe decides to use his Alinsky tricks and create a distraction so as to take the heat off Joe.
Boy what a distraction. Using the Secret Service to kill Donald Trump. That would certainly increase their election odds come November.
Wild speculation, I know. But Thank God He spared President Trump.
It didn’t even last 24 hours.
im not after a civil war. i am after a method the old cattle barons employed. no pinkertons, but regulators.
all these folks that did all the puddingstick stuff, slow but surely aint there no more.
dont knowhow, dont know when, just aint there no mo’.
As it usually does, I expected the radical left to tone it down for the elections. I think they largely have; there’s much less Palestinian, BLM and Antifa activity than there was.
The assassination attempt has changed the rules. For now, I think the kid was just a deluded monster. But his actions have changed the calculus of the election. It’s hard to imagine the DJT won’t be pushed over the top with that event. How the DNC responds will dictate what happens next.
If the radical left feel marginalized by a ‘kinder’, ‘more moderate’ Democratic Party, they will act up. If the official antagonism continues, they’ll probably stay quiet and hope for the best. The DNC convention will tell.
After the election, expect the outrage of the month mentality to continue and be expanded.
If a strategy to remove Trump fails to work, the left always escalates to the next level.
I wrote elsewhere that between the pandemic, the 2020 riots and election and OSHA mandate, a lot of people just lost their touch with reality. I also believe a lot of folks kinda “gave up” on America.
I posted this article on Sunday - ‘A fundamental security failure’: How did a gunman open fire on a Trump rally?

Several FReepers were stunned at the MSM performing an actual act of journalism. As was I. I’ve seen a few “more “green shoots” in this spirit over the past few days.
Jesus spoke to The Apostles, to be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. There will always be wolves amongst us. But our hearts should not be hardened.
Every now and then your Dad would post a sort of “Time Out” to remind FReepers to be civil etc. It helped take down the temperature.
I am hopeful, that the media (having been ripped up for gaslighting America about Biden’s mental state) may indeed wake up. Advertisers may speak louder than liberalism.
In turn, maybe those lost souls of whom I wrote, may be able to see that we don’t have to call everyone not on FR a libtard or worse.
If so, we WILL have a chill summer. Thanks for listening.
Thank you for listening.
And FB, etc, etc., and those are the most public venues. It gets worse the deeper you dive. Yeah, those comments are exactly why I’m wondering about this question. The people making these comments are: firefighters, elementary school teachers, government employees (including FBI employees!), obviously university professors... the list just goes on and on, thanks to Chaya’s tireless effort. If this keeps escalating, it won’t be only the lives of Trump and other pols on the line.
“we are completely unorganized”
When the French resistance organized big units, those got slaughtered.
Every group of twenty or more will almost certainly be infiltrated.
Trust no one unless you must. Expect a ~30% per person trusted betrayal rate.
Voters have become aware of the Biden Reich’s lies, along with media. They also know who actually speaks to them about their concerns. They know they need and want a Warrior President (Dana Perino’s description of iconic Trump fist photo) to enact a winning presidential agenda. Sure there are a few darksiders to vote for Marxist tyranny, but the Trump landslide will take care of that. :)
Excellent! Green shoots. Very promising.
Can someone advise me what is considered a “hot civil war”?
