The choices of this civil war are painfully clear.

We can have a system of government based around the Constitution with democratically elected representatives. Or we can have one based on the ideological principles of the left in which all laws and processes, including elections and the Constitution, are fig leaves for enforcing social justice.

But we cannot have both.

Some civil wars happen when a political conflict can’t be resolved at the political level. The really bad ones happen when an irresolvable political conflict combines with an irresolvable cultural conflict.

That is what we have now.

The US ran amok when it strayed from the Constitution, much like the NBA ran amok when it quit calling traveling.

Slippery slope.

We nred to drive the silver stake through the heart of the left. So much of the left is media, drive by news, hollywood movies.

The “left,” its various namesakes throughout history, and all their adherents have always wanted one thing: a vicious rebellion against their enemies, and the legitimate and true ruling powers. Call it what you will but it is nothing more than sin, rebellion against God and true morality.

It's exactly what I've been saying. There are two alternate realities in conflict. One is based on Constitution, accountability, and limited government. The other is based on totalitarian political correctness, unlimited state power, corruption, and lawlessness.

These disparate worldviews are mutually exclusive, and totally incompatible. Only one can prevail.

Every person in government and every person around the country will eventually have to decide where their allegiance lies: to the Constitution and the Rule of Law—to Americanism—or instead to Tyranny.

Choose carefully, because being on the wrong side of this equation will get you dead...

And who’s ram-rodding this sedition? The guy who lost the ‘rats the WH, both houses of Congress, most governorships and state legislatures.
How stupid exactly are ‘rats?
They say Trump is unqualified and their gal was well qualified, even if she has a very small penis.
Yet they still lost. Bigly.
So all they can do is piss and moan.
(BTW, these deep thoughts have been filed at the US Patent Office.)

Never forget what we are taliing about are liberal socialists.

Socialists.

Look at what any actual socialist country does to its people.

Socialism is incredibly wicked and evil and always against human nature.

My favorite quote:
“There is no form of legal authority that the left accepts as a permanent institution. It only utilizes forms of authority selectively when it controls them. “

Well, DUH!

If the left secedes they all starve.

If the right secedes it's thrives.

The left cannot survive if they can't pick our pockets and use the funds to buy votes.

I guess some folks are finally waking up and realizing what has been going on. Having taught in the public schools for years, I could tell you that a revolution was taking place, but people do NOT listen. So, they get what they deserve.

You said it. Institutional madness for decades while patriot napped under the tree of liberty and never watered it. We may have cost ourselves the lives of our kids, or grandkids in the future. We may or may not be around to see the price of our laxity.

The leftscum are already moving to violence. They really don’t want to go there. Some of us older people with real skills and failing health aka nothing to lose will take them apart.

“There is no sign that the left understands or is troubled by the implications of the conflict it has initiated.”

Powerful, well-written article.

I think the only way this can be resolved is with about a million of the most powerful, influential, and wealthy leftists being permanently removed from society. Probably by death. Only by this example will the other tyrants back down and public sentiment be corrected from the current trajectory of destruction.

It simply is not possible for leftists and the rest-of-us to coexist. And that is THEIR choice.
