FR is not the influencer it once was.

I visit savvy Utubers out there. and there are a number of them on the right who need to be promoted everywhere.

because it then shows in both articles and comments

That is an unnecessary abuse of bandwidth. Not a standard practice here.

Americans have no clue

Secession

Revolt

True civil war

All different but with shared characteristics

To me a true civil war is india before partition or maybe Russian revolution or the English civil war

Nasty affairs

Ours was a separatists affair ..bloody but different

True, especially regarding the executive power of the president: leftist = infinite; rightist = impotent.

The President of the United States used the Intel Services and the Justice Department to ILLEGALLY spy on my Candidate.

Why would I “EVER” trust an election?

Civil war happens when the chain of command becomes divided.

If not, what you have is bloody rebellions, easily put down.

Is that so? Well congratulations on your longevity.

Still, it's of no benefit to re-post the article in the body of the thread, when every reader has just read it.

How Trump chooses to exercise his Executive Power is completely up to him.

He can follow the Pinochet model and get things done or keep on his current path and change nothing.

Time is not on our side.

"Not accepting the results of the election" in terms of trying to overturn the results through impeachment or forced resignation or legal action has become standard operating procedure in politics nowadays.

That's not a civil war, though. A civil war is when people reach for military means of overturning an election or separating from the rest of the country. We aren't there yet, and all the noise about investigations and such is a sign that people aren't yet willing to pick up the gun.
