This will not bode well for us unless we band together and strike first.
We already did that in the election.
We are now organized, with an effective leadership, and the most powerful military in the world.
I always said, if we are going to have a civil war, we should be in control of the Federal Government when it happens.
We also control most of the State governments.
No...
It's an UN-civil whine.
Thank you for pointing out the obvious.
THEY are starting a civil war. WE must END it.
Read Thomas Fliming’s book - “A Sickness in the Public Mind”.
I remain confounded that ordinary Americans along with "Republican" members of Congress still do not understand this. The Left's most recent violent actions demonstrate with utmost clarity where the Left's collective heart is and what their aims are.
Property destruction without penalty.
Physically assaults sporadically, yet nationwide, with relative impunity demonstrate the Left's willingness to employ violence to implement their view and agenda.
The corrupt MSM, Hollywood, and the Tech Barons, are both agitating and encouraging this uprising.
There seems to be a soft civil war currently being fought, which will continue, or get much worse, the longer the media actively stand behind and shield those who are fighting this battle on their behalf. No one wants a "crack down", but unless and until the Left is exposed to a painful limit of the law, they will continue unimpeded to press the very boundaries as they become increasingly violent -- because right now they can.
I would say that things are getting more precarious the longer the Left keeps lashing out and as they grow more violent. At some point, ordinary people have a right to expect order and safety. Increasingly, the Left is becoming emboldened that their tactics of intimidation through force and violence is working, and they are being praised for such acts by the media, Hollywood, and the Tech Barons. Until there is an effective course correction it is hard to see the Left's actions simply dying down into complacent acceptance.
That is flipping hilarious. One day the moron will look back on that pic and recoil at his glaring jackassery and being duped. Then again, maybe not.

Yes and no. I'm reminded of the Clinton years, when a lot of us—especially NRA members, of course—defiantly held up Charlton Heston as "our President" ... So, it's not like the "not my president" shtick is totally new.
I'm tempted to follow the money. Remember who was the greatest gun salesman in the history of our nation...even while states from coast to coast were passing concealed carry laws (redefining infringement, if not eliminating it). If sales haven't already started to suffer, they will as soon as any pro-2A legislation starts to come out of Washington, DC. And no doubt the NRA et. al. are seeing donations fall off; no doubt some in their hierarchy would welcome a return to the days of fear and uncertainty. Do they really want a national reciprocity law, let alone actual constitutional carry?
We often talk about the race merchants sabotaging MLK's "dream" and stoking the fires of racism to protect their cash flow. While I'd like to think the people on our side are more virtuous than that, I'm not so foolish as to assume it's true.
Regardless, I can imagine many left-wing causes are eager to cash in on their newfound victim status, much as our own did for the past eight years. Pefhaps they're behind some of the unrest happening on and around college campuses, while the silent majority watches from afar.
But, the leftists have to know that events such as the debacle at Berkeley will cause more and more of the silent majority to wake up and begin to take action. The fear merchants would be wise to put the brakes on that sh*t, lest they see their cash cow slaughtered for good.
I say bring it on. I’m sick and tired of leftists and their cowardly talk. That’s all they’ll ever do is b!tch and talk.
The downside is, our side is too stupid to realize this is indeed civil war. This is it. It’s here. This is what it looks like. And yet, we still sit, thumbs up our noses.
And it is tearing the country apart.
If Trump doesn’t neutralize George Soros soon I will finally lose faith in his judgment just a bit. Soros can be arrested and extradited to one of a couple of countries with warrants on him. And he is past his 80th year so is not in the best of health and might not survive an arrest and incarceration ordeal.
Prophetable?
I'll disagree with one minor point you made:
The attacks aren't working, not politically at least.
I read a fascinating article posted here today.
The spineless GOP is as much responsible for the violence of the Left as the Dems.
The GOP sat by for decades while domestic terrorists of the 60s and 70s are free as birds, even rising to prominence in the Leftist movement.
The article specifically gave examples like Bill Ayers and the Weather Underground.
