“It’s just that our Fort Sumter hasn’t happened yet”

Democrats are using lawfare effectively they have nearly overwhelmed societal systems with their acolytes. They prepared for a hot war though, you will remember the millions spent by federal agencies (like the EPA) on weapons and ammunition.

Before the civil war in 1860 democrats moved munitions from northern armories to the south in preparation. Jefferson Davis was the Secretary of War and this was accomplished with his authority. I suspect the big weapons purchases by most government agencies was for the same reasons.

The media is largely to blame. Their fake news/propaganda and outright hate for the country.

When the SHTF they will be one of the first to be annihilated. And rightly so.

It does not have to be a shooting war.

The peaceful dissolution of the former “United” States is completely possible.

Bottom Line....

Never pass up an opportunity to tell the Left exactly what you think:

“I do not want to be governed by people like you anymore.”

Who needs hostilities when you can get your way with a coup??

Ours is a battle for the mind and soul of AMERICA. This is war and the righteous are AWOL.

People are not going to fight in a civil war. There is a certain group that wants a revolution, reminiscent of the French Revolution. There seems to be people who want gallows on capital hill—-with a long waiting line behind them.

I think it’s brewing, for sure. The issue is, other than The Proud Boys in Portland, there really hasn’t been much pushback from the “Right”.

The impeachment thing is already dying on the vine. They thought this thing would go on an on, head to the Senate where the President would be bogged down and nothing would happen until next fall. FAIL. An epic FAIL.

They’ve, both parties/MSM/Wall St/Chamber of Commerce, have been sabotaging him from the day he put his hand on the bible and he’s still making things happen. Imagine where we’d be if it weren’t for Ryan and McConnell and all the rest.

He’s about to drop a middle class tax cut on the country, the Fed lowered interests rates and if Congress could ever do it’s job, they just might acknowledge his success and decide to pass a budget to reduce the spending they always say they want to do. Nope. They can’t do that because he hasn’t appeased their corporate masters.

Leading up to next fall, things are going to get ugly. Soros and his friends are going to fund and wreak havoc. Don’t be surprised if voting precincts are destroyed, voters intimidated, and anything else the Left can conjure up. Ballot harvesting will reach an epic scale. Voter fraud will rule the day. And violence. Lots of violence.

Question will remain, what will folks in the Middle and on the Right do? If, by some chance, it turned ugly, the “Left” doesn’t stand a chance. ANTIFAs, John Brown Brigade would last about 5 minutes. The Redneck Revolution folks, who live in fantasy land, would probably last less than that.

At that point, it’d be better if the country just broke up into 3 parts. Give the Left their coastal kingdoms. Let everyone else have the rest. The problem with that, and the Left knows it, is all the food and oil is in the middle. Add to that, take out the cities in the “Blue” states and there’s a lot of “Red” in them.

The country is too divided. There is no way to recover, at this point. The Left cannot be convinced otherwise. Anyone that thinks otherwise, IMHO, is fooling themselves.

Conservatives think liberals are people with bad ideas.
Liberals think conservatives are bad people.

The latter belief is the one antithetical to coexistence and has only ever filled mass graves.

“The battle would be short unless the democrats brought in foreign fighters.”

Many of whom are already here and waiting for the signal.

Schiff et al should look to Turkey.

The coup was upended and all involved were captured and put in prison

It would be a Weimer Republic / Kansas Bushwacking type of NASTY instability war. The Eric Rudolfs of the World would make themselves known very quickly.

The Democrat Party has continued their Jihad on America ever since we took away their Slaves.

It will not be a civil war, it will be a revolution.

Presidential success is good but until the Progressives are wiped out, present good is inadequate in the long run

I think we are already in CW2, but in the early stage, the PsyOps stage. IMHO, it will be a while before it goes hot, but when it does it will go off in a flash. It will not be pretty.

Civil War? This isn’t the 1860s. One side would have armor, artillery, an air force, a built-in logistics system; the other side would have semi-automatic hunting rifles.

Having anti-constitutional Stalinists like Schiff, Pelosi, et al in control of the House all but guarantee war.

Had to happen sooner or later, I guess.

I honestly believe the number of people who actually give enough of a damn about this country to fight a civil war over it is very small.
