Liberals went full communist. That’s why there is a divide.

The war is now already in process in Chicago and Portland. Governors and mayors have in effect declared these cities to no longer be American.

Are we supposed to just give liberals their full communist nation just to keep the peace?

Interesting article. Steps 5 & 6 used to seem fringe thinking. Scary stuff. The ending offers a ray of hope, I just wonder who on the left could be persuaded not to burn it all down?

While you isolate those who want to burn it all down, who have nothing constructive to offer. Then you back away from the danger.

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

— Patrick Henry

To summarize the article:

Crazy leftists took step after step and....

We are supposed to be nice and polite.

That will fix it.

Lol.

Well, at least it'll be easy to know who the enemy is

Excellent article.

We sidestepped step 8 “Triggering Event” when Trump survived the assassination attempt.

Is it safe to wear your red ball cap while walking near that scrum? Is it brave? Is it provocative? Can it be deadly? Will your dog maul them if they touch you?

Tune in to MSnow for all the latest lies. Brought to you by lying liars that lie. So corrupt.

Do these steps actually have some source who has studied them?

Or are they a list that were created in a moment because they sounded good and logical?

Concur. We've been there since the 60s.

I might could argue we're at 6.5 as we've seen more militias form especially since the 90s.

Everyone likes free stuff. Many believe basic needs are due them Just how they get itis the problem
Real DSA :
“Many democratic socialists believed that labor would overcome itself through the exercise of democratic political rights. The workers would want to give themselves more leverage in their negotiations with their employers. They would use democracy to give themselves that leverage, by creating the economic rights that would empower them to refuse labor arrangements they considered exploitative”
“A great debate was had about how this should be done. Should citizens create new economic rights to specific goods, such as food, housing, or healthcare? Should citizens have a right to a guaranteed income?”

step eight -the trigger event.

Civil wars ...begin with a spark.

Step nine comoes when police, military, or federal agencies split.

Luckily, the last few of these are actually pretty high hurdles.

While in the fevered dreams of the left, the estimated 120 million-to-140 million gun owners with something like 400 million to 600 million guns, and trillions of rounds of ammunition are a 'threat,' the reality is that these are a stabilizing influence.

It's a good list, but I would be less than sanguine about exactly where we are on vaulting the last hurdle. Trump is "our last clear change" and the lazy paid off sell-out RINOs are sabotaging him.

we might as well dispense with the notion that 'both sides' are equally at fault.

There are not "both sides" because there is a third side that plays both off against the middle. This is the globalist juggernaut that is built on the crony capitalism that pervades our entire economic system, whereby the fed colluded with the financial services industry and has burst upon the scene in forms of WEF, Greta, a China led global environmental regulatory apparat, and forms of debt that cannot be liquidated through personal bankruptcy [credit cards and student loans].

The enemy is in London, Brussels, some Gulf states, NYC, RIO, wealthy suburbs of CT and the expanding suburbs of DC, which sadly make even the beautiful Eastern Shore of MD a proper target.

That is the RINO answer and the libs constant desire with their joint noodle spines.

Proper law and order is in order. Enforce it and remove the violent actors permanently and the supposedly “civil” discussion will dissolve on the facts of the “revolts”. Morons like Pritzker, if they don’t have money— are a vacuum with no following. Who, in fact, if not paid would follow a Pritzker?

Glenn Beck mentioned the “Edelman Trust Barometer” on his radio show Thursday.
