“How to stop a civil war” says the cover of the latest Atlantic magazine. I can suggest a fix: the international community should intervene in the US. Of course Americans have a right to self-determination but the priority now is saving democracy.

Look at the bright side - it would give us all a chance to practice our range shooting and the French their surrendering skills.

Paywall. How about a summary?
We’re not a Democracy. SO how can you save something that it is? Democracy is three wolves and a chicken deciding what is for dinner.
Scary what people are willing to believe .... Then they vote
This phrase pops up a lot lately.
It seems to refer to "ensuring that globalist tyrants can continue to steal from American citizens and weaken all foundations of Western Civilization".
The last jackass who brought foreign troops to the US was a king. I believe it was in the 1700’s. They got their ass handed to them by some patriots. We are better armed now. This idiot can buggar off, as the Brits would say.

Save democracy by imposing your will physically and violently on other people.
Do these people even read the crap they write?
Bring It!
Blue helmets make good targets.
“priority now is saving democracy.”
While Pelosi and Shiff are in the process of trying to nullify our last presidential election.
It’s hard to assess the risk of political violence, given the US tradition of everyday gunslinging: the rival candidates for state elections in Montana, who each made ads showing themselves firing rifles at television screens, looked like actors playing Afghan warlords. Still, the recent ethnopolitical terror attacks in El Paso, Pittsburgh and elsewhere were shocking even by US standards.
The much tamer UK needs watching too. Like Americans, Britons have been upgrading their political views into their identities and dismissing opponents as traitors. Both countries now intend to resolve their conflict with winner-take-all elections.
Next comes an Afghan-style loya jirga, or grand assembly, to kick off a national dialogue.
Given the death of truth, a South African-style Truth and Reconciliation Commission wouldn’t work in the US. Americans may also need to abandon the polarising impeachment of Donald Trump and let him seek exile in a friendly country: the model could be Ukraine’s kleptocratic pro-Kremlin former president Viktor Yanukovich, now based out of Russia.
The loya jirga writes a new constitution. This would be Britain’s first, and for the US, a much-needed update of its antiquated 1787 document. Japanese jurists could help draft it as a thank you to Americans for writing Japan’s excellent 1947 constitution.
The new text would dispense with vagaries such as “high crimes and misdemeanours”, define presidential corruption and end political control of the judiciary. If it’s undemocratic for the Polish or Hungarian governments to appoint judges, why can the US president do it?
The new constitution must cantonise the US, going way beyond “states’ rights” to neighbourhood rights. The smaller the units of power, the less important becomes the national political conflict. The US’s second republic will also need a new electoral system that favours coalitions instead of winner-takes-all rule. ...... The question for the international community then becomes: how much blood and treasure is it willing to expend on a country that may not be ready for democracy?
In the words of my native Greek; "Molon Labe"
What is f.t.?
Why should I click on a newb's odd site?
If you get past his emotional outbursts, he’s really not wrong or crazy. Watch his interview with Joe Rogan. He may be a little out there, but then he’s able to back up some of his claims with the words of others. In this case it was the Governor of Virginia. And then shortly after this episode stories come out about the Chinese harvesting organs.
At this point in time and history there isn’t much that isn’t possible.

In 1814, we took a little trip Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'. We took a little bacon and we took a little beans And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans.
We fired our guns and the British kept a-coming There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago. We fired once more, and they began to running, On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico.
Exactly how would the UN occupy the US, with what army? Do these idiots ever think out the details?
