He seems to be taking a more sober approach, with a "how do we fix this" attitude. I doubt it's fixable at all, especially within his last 3 short years, but identifying the problem is a good first step. It allows appraisal of the situation as opposed to denial.
The RINOs have already gone over to the Party of Death, Destruction and assassins of political opponents and their children of the DEMONRATS.
If ypu’re outside an ICE facility right now, I’d argue that it is not LIC, but HIC.
Is the US “already” in civil war?
Nope.
You really have no idea what a real war is like.
You Democrats can try starting it...we’ll finish it!
“He seems to be taking a more sober approach, with a “how do we fix this” attitude. I doubt it’s fixable at all, especially within his last 3 short years, but identifying the problem is a good first step. It allows appraisal of the situation as opposed to denial.”
Why has no president ever just come out in a speech and said ‘we’re broke and we’ve got to do something hard to fix it’?
We’ve been milked like cows and treated like serfs.
If he keeps giving in, he'll lose.
Time to say "alea iacta est" and cross the Rubicon.
I made this summary of an excellent article posted by MtnClimber the other day about a conversation between Joe Rogan and Glen Beck. I found it fairly accurate.

Joe Rogan and Glenn Beck on the nine steps to civil war
My summary:
The nine steps to civil war
1. The first step is the loss of civic trust. When people lose trust in the fairness of the system.
2. Step two is a polarization hardens into identity. Everyone is constantly reminded as to who they are on the political divide, with no break in the action that goes beyond politics.
3. Step three is a breakdown of the gatekeepers. Previously, the media, churches, civic leaders, and political parties served as gatekeepers in political discourse, shaping public conversation into a healthy debate. Now, however, these institutions have failed in that role and have joined in the polarization.
4. Step four is parallel information realities. There are multiple sources of news and information, and they can present wildly disparate versions of the news and political commentary to the point that these can be completely different realities. These realities align with the polarization of identities.
5. Step five is the loss of a neutral rule of law. This is the pivot point. The abject corruption in the rule of law and lawfare as a political weapon. The most egregious examples were the Lois Lerner IRS attack on the Tea Party applications, relentless persecution of January 6, 2021, defendants and the soft treatment of the leftists who burned, looted, and murdered during their 2020 ‘summer of love.’
6. Step six is a normalization of political violence. The ANTIFA violence that killed several people and caused billions in damage in US cities was sold as a “Mostly Peaceful Protest.”
7. Step seven is the rise of militias and parallel forces. That is happening right now in the divisions between ICE immigration enforcement and the state and local police forces.
8. Step eight, there’s the trigger event. Something like the assassination of the president as there have already been several attempts.
9. Step nine comes when police, military, or federal agencies split and begin battling each other.
Insolvent means not being able to cover your liabilities.
That is not nearly the case.
And “Civil War?” That seems to be the narrative this morning.
When you start seeing the same phrasing from multiple sources with emotional language…that is the sign of a controlled information campaign.
Once you see it…it cannot be unseen.
The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury.“
George Washington
“androgyny becomes prevalent as a civilization is starting to unravel. You find it again and again and again in history.”
Camille Paglia
“Tolerance and apathy are the last virtues of a dying society”
Aristotle
“‘If you could pick one thing to give America the best chance to avoid a violent collapse… what would it be?’ I, of course, replied that what we need to do is shut down the wealth pump.”
Peter Turchin
We have plenty of people, both living and dead, warning that we’re going the wrong way. IDK if it ends in civil war, cartel-like violence or peaceful collapse (USSR).
I agree that our golden age is behind us, but I don't agree that it extend into the 1990s. I remember that in the 1980s, the big press hated Ronald Reagan while Gorbachev was their hero.
When Japan attacked the United States, There existed within the United States, despite political differences, a consensus of decent , commonly held values that united Americans. A mighty giant arose and defeated not only Japan but Germany as well. Today a near majority of the polulation has embraced neo pagan hedonistic decadence. They have embraced drug use, pornography, homosexuality and all its permutations, celebrity and earth worship, globalism and of course socialism. They are the Democrats. Can rational,productive moral people make common cause with such people as happened in 1941? This why America is divided and when the divisions collide there are sometime sparks and often violence. As the decadent people become more desperate, civil, violent conflict is more likely.
I don’t know how close we are, but one thing I just thought of. Decades ago, there would be rich radical leftist youths, but they were an affront to their parents. They may even have grown out of their phase. Now, there are rich radical families. We may even import them. I also was thinking about the Mid-Eastern country in which a man with a food-cart was arrested and/or killed by police and it sparked an uprising.
One never knows the repercussions of any random event that sparks chaos.
President Trump has been in war against your govt since 2015 when he came down the escalator.
He’s now in the Oval Office,where the Declaration of Independence hangs, as a sign that the long train or abuses and usurpations needs to be derailed from within.
The govt of the Swamp,by the Swamp, for the Swamp needs to perish from this earth.
If he’s allowed to obliterate and drain, and win the war, 1950s-1990s will look like fools gold..
We are not unable to pay our debt.
So that line in the rant is false.
Goodbyeeeee, we aren’t in a civil and we aren’t broke.
Well Trump stated to a reporter who asked him when he was running for his 2nd term and it got stolen from him that the next President (Not expecting not win) will govern over a huge economic crash and many would be left without a chair when the music stopped playing and glad he would be out. I am seeing to many signs 2026 will be a disaster economically around the globe. Adding to the mix Americans are willing to accept Socialism and a sour economy 2026 is going to be hairy as even the CIA Black Book of Predictions backs that up talking about massive Economic, Political and Social changes coming all the way into 2030.

More likely, we are watching a slow collapse, based primarily on our inability to function in a financially responsible way. But the end game is likely still far in the future. We've been able to stay afloat long after many said our debt was unsustainable. There were warnings when we hit $10 trillion in debt, and now we're on our way to $40 trillion. Yet, our economy is on course to grow about 3% this year.
Social media plays a major role in highlighting our differences and problems on a national level. But there is a great deal of wealth and stability throughout the US.
As long as there is enough capital to keep the private sector moving, the national debt is troublesome, but not affecting economic growth. The danger points will be if there is a default on interest payments or a substantial printing of money which leads to high inflation.
Great summary, and the left started it.
Each state is set up like an individual semi autonomous country. Most states are larger in population than most of the EU countries. It would be best if states either went independent or formed new countries of several states.
