The first civil war AKA the American Revolution was bad...ancestors of mine were killed, imprisoned, lost their homes and property to fire and confiscation, and had to flee for their lives to Canada....some just for objecting like in this instance....women and young children also imprisoned...my 4th ggm was only 10....her grandmother was 60+...non-combatants imprisoned in Fort Dayton, Albany, NY...

I never thought I would live in the America my 4th, 5th, 6th grandparents experienced....

yet here we are...

and this times its the last days as described in the Bible...

The mark of the beast is to be in the hand could that be the arm ???

There is no buying or selling without the mark...well we may not be able to purchase plane tickets go on cruises, to concerts, the movies, church even the grocery store without a vaccine passport...

as for selling Emperor Joe has already decreed that white businesses wont be getting any help from the government...how soon until a requirement for that same vaccine passport is added....and you know the illegal aliens and others will manage to acquire a fake document...

good will be called evil, evil will be called good...weve watched that happen since May...riots are protests...now protests are riots/terrorism...

President trump is the best president weve aver had...hes done more than any other occupant of the WH ...

Hes done more for blacks and minorities but has been called a racist...

Hes done more for the GOP and brought in more new votes but the GOP have turned against him...

etc

“We should be divided from such animals.”

I’m sure they think likewise.

How’s your skill-at-arms with live steel?

I’d say it is simple but it isn’t.

Republicans get elected most everybody gets to do what they want to do, few laws are changed and none make anybody live differently than they have. Queers can be queer, blacks can be militant and all that but they just can’t make us like what they do but they are free to do what makes them happy so long as it is lawful and does not impact us.

Democraps get elected and want to make all of us live like they do and do what they do and very little of what we have been doing all along so they start making laws and raising taxes to make us change our way of life. They also demand that we like what they do and what they like.

That my FRiends is the best grounds for a Civil War I can think of. This damn bunch is going to tax and law us out of our way of life as fast as they can if we let them and the only way to stop them is DEFIANCE.

I’ve never owned a slave and owe nobody nothing any more than any cowboy today has done anything to today’s indians and I’m one of them so I expect nothing.

Diversity is our pervisity and will be our downfall. The only thing the craps are doing is making it worse. Hell, I can’t even go the gas station without hearing it on the PA about how blacks are mistreated so won’t you donate to the naacp legal fund?

Where Brit lives, the First Bank of Mytown recently closed down. The money all disappeared, “rumors of a bank robbery are false and inflaming the situation,” said one banker, “the money just was there one day and gone the next, right after that large group of masked men came in with guns, but that had nothing to do with it.”

Also in Brit’s town, a hurricane blew in and most of the buildings were levelled. The local weatherman said “there are people starting false rumors that the hurricane blew down the buildings. We know that didn’t happen.”

That’s how things are where Brit lives.

It’s impossible to be united when half of the people in the boat are bailing water while the other half are busy drilling holes in the boat. Eventually, one group has to be tossed overboard, and which one prevails will determine whether the boat sinks or floats.

Diversity is our pervisity and will be our downfall.

I always confront diversity robots by asking them, “Does diversity make us stronger?”, to which they of course answer, “Oh yes, absolutely. Yes!”

Then I follow by asking, “So if we had more diversity, that would be a good thing, right?” Their answer is, not surprisingly, an even more enthusiastic “Yes!”

To which I respond, “So, if diversity is good, and more diversity is better, then Nirvana would be achieved if we could have the maximum diversity possible, right?” At this point the smarter ones usually sense that something isn’t quite right, but by this time they’re too committed to their position, so they answer with a slightly tentative, “Sure.”

And then I drop the hammer, “So one way in which we could achieve maximum diversity is if every person on Earth only spoke, wrote, and understood his or her own unique language, a language that they didn’t share with another living soul. But if that happened, society would collapse because no one would be able to communicate with anyone else!” “So tell me again about how “Diversity is our strength.”

At that point, they usually stare straight ahead for a moment, the little gears in their head fully locked up, and then either just walk away quietly or call me a “racist”, before storming off. In the rare case of an actual thoughtful lefty, they might say, “I never thought about it that way before”, but never in a way that convinced me that they will actually reconsider their indoctrination.

Joe Biden might be James Buchanan

Interesting comparison. I don’t see how the guy can govern. The guy is senile and half the country knows the election was stolen for him.

It is very important to keep reminding people just how close this election is.

With just three states and 43,000 votes, Trump would have tied Biden at 269 Electoral Votes.

Arizona (10,500 - 11 EV), Georgia (11,800 - 16 EV), Wisconsin (20,700 - 10 EV)

Trump Electoral Votes - 232 + 37 = 269

Because the House of Representatives votes for President by state delegation - not by individual Congressmen - it is almost certain that Trump would have been reelected.

Bottom Line...

The state level and national GOP and the Trump campaign were incomprehensibly unprepared to prevent voter fraud before it happened, or to challenge voter fraud after it did happen.

I've recently been refreshing myself with the American Revolution and our founding Fathers as they brought the nation together under our great Constitution. So as you might Imagine I can certainly understand you and your families History as you wrote.

Remarkably much of the concerns and fears over our nation in those early days is now equally seen and heard among us. The unrest, the cries of another revolution from the people, and the great divisions and distrust, greed etc within their newly established government among themselves, and even their scandals....these ring eerily and loudly similar now-today.

......”I don’t see how the guy (Biden) can govern. The guy is senile and half the country knows the election was stolen for him”.......

Well we also know for that reason he won’t be governing, rather as his appointments, his transition team, and those who have been working behind the scenes reveals......this is a continuation of the Obama Administration with a heavy inclusion of other nationals not born here

"[1850's]: ... everything accelerated toward the war once journalists got hyped up and dedicated weekly newspaper editions to the conflict in DC. Once the telegraph came into play....this intensity doubled."

In my experience, the internet has accelerated the Balkanization and deepened the divisions in America, just as other forms of mass communications (TV, radio, movies) have long been doing - but especially lately. Not because electronic communications are inherently evil, but rather because it's so easy for them to be used as a potent weapon either for good or evil. And it's usually the bad guys who use them for their own gain at the expense of society as a whole.

Could Hitler have gotten as far and as fast as he did if radio and the cinema (google Leni Riefenstahl) hadn't yet existed? Films showing quickly-alternating clips of rats running down a hallway with Jews moving down a hallway were potent weapons at generating hate and splitting people. The version of that we saw last summer were clips of George Floyd's neck alternating with the face of the white cop, allegedly to "promote social justice and unity," but in reality intended to divide and inflame and incite violence.

Over 10 years before the www, I noticed how email and the online forum called Usenet could cause arguments between people to spin out of control. Siblings were saying things to each other over email that escalated far beyond what would have happened in a face-to-face conversation.

Two co-workers who got into a heated argument on a usenet group ratcheted it up so high via usenet as well as email, that they each were contacting site security to report perceived "physical threats" from each other. Again, I doubt if it would have happened face to face. (Security was NOT amused, and neither were their bosses when security contacted them. Some members of HR were surprised to discover the existence of Usenet and started discussing whether it should be banned on site .... ha, fat chance).

When you blurt out something that "goes over the edge," the effects IMHO are very different depending on whether the communication is Face-To-Face or remote. In F-T-F mode, the reactions of the other person's voice, face, etc - clue you that you've gone too far, and allow you to quickly modify what you just said before there's major blowback.

But remote communications like email and social media only give you the words themselves without the personal contact, body language, instant feedback, etc. When you read words sent to you that seem negative in some way - eg antagonistic or insulting or sarcastic or even threatening, the lack of personal F-T-F feedback tends to lead your brain to solve every ambiguity in the email by choosing the worst possible answer for every unknown.

In summary then: I've noticed that remote arguments involving only written words tend to have a "positive feedback loop" where each tit-for-tat tends to be bigger and nastier than the previous one. Whereas people who are arguing in person more often see a "negative feedback" loop where the swings of the pendulum grow less & less (unless of course one or more of them are drunk or under high stress or born brawlers).

......"not investigating the 2020 election fraud ensures there will not be unity any time soon"....

Without a doubt...and coupled with this fraudulent impeachment display, yet again, 'guarantees' there will be no unity.... Which tells me they never had intentions of uniting this country whatsoever.
