Newt Gingrich:
“We are drifting towards the greatest constitutional crisis since the 1850’s and the rise of secession and civil war,” he said on Fox News. “I don’t mean that as hyperbole.”
“What you are seeing across the country is a desperate, last ditch effort by a corrupt machine to destroy their most dangerous opponent in a way that not only breaks the constitution, destroys the rule of law and establishes a moment of bitterness which I think will last for a generation or more"
“This is going to be a horrendous period. The people who want to control America and dictate to the rest of us will break any law, lie about any topic and manipulate the system any way they can and that includes a lot of the elite news media.”

I think so. Most likely, with will happen under President Gavin Newsom. He'll replace two conservative Justices at the end of his second term. That will be around 2036.
Our two conservative justices are in their 70s now.
You’re right, and the people have no idea. All the Obama metrics have been met, now it’s to just sit and wait as the locomotive effect pushes through every American standard only to derail and burn America
That’s the obamanites objective but they don’t have a pathway to success, achievement and progress. Just ruination.
Yes… this is like all internecine conflicts. A slow deliberate walk into hell. The Civil War and before that the Revolutionary War. Same same.
What’s most demoralizing, however, is the nearly total lack of opposition.
Given the current numbers in the House, and McCarthy calls for an impeachment committee, would he even get a majority?
Would any of the Republicans bail on it?
It sucks entirely.
“Yes we are heading to a crisis, NO doubt about it. The ONLY question is: How will the American people react.”
Venezuela: The corrupt leftist, Nicolas Maduro, arrested his political opponent, Juan Guaido, during the 2019 election cycle. The people protested but Maduro was supported by the courts, the media and the military.
Brazil: The corrupt leftist, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula), arrested his political opponent, Jair Bolsonaro, during the 2020 election cycle. The people protested but Lula was supported by the courts, the media and the military.
I expect the same thing will happen in the USA.
Beat me to it.

Well said. Demoralizing on two levels.
I wish I could find the article but someone wrote that this is a remarkable time in history—never before has a civilization intentionally committed suicide.
I thought about this—the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Turks, Soviets, etc. all fell to pieces not because they wanted to, they simply became decrepit and eventually failed.
Can anyone think of any civilization that intentionally killed itself?
“When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.”
T. Jefferson
Exactly. “The Tree of Liberty” and all that...
How will the American people react
They can move, this is not like earlier where everyone lived at home. If you want you can move anywhere in the world and many areas which you may want to live has nice grocery stores, banks, internet, doctors. You can move a lot of places now that may not be home but its a heck of a lot better than things may be soon in America.
We sure do live in interesting times
If you think LEOs will choose freedom over losing their pensions and dental plans, you are a fool.
That’s why they always take the side of the looters, etc.
Sure, some will just quit, but the majority want that pension enough to smash your face in for it even if you are right.
I support law enforcement, but they have been co-opted and most have chosen a side already.
