A civil war would mean the Balkanization of the United States. We would become a collection of russias and North Koreas with a few Dubais thrown in. I cannot overstate how bad this would be. Millions dead. Unrecoverable economy. Oligarchs running city States. Do you want Jeff bezos to be a governor? Because that’s how you get Jeff bezos as governor.
The reformes you are suggesting would take a century and the 50 states would never be united again. I don’t disagree that you are pointing out serious and actionable flaws but you are calling for nothing less than the complete destruction of America and likely a third of our people. Civil war is… Jesus… I fucking hope we can home our shit together.
I think before this is nightmare is over we will be measuring death tolls in multiples of the Holocaust. It really is time to leave if you can. The midterm elections will be the fulcrum point. In November they will know if they ever have to worry any meeting voted out again.
It’s literally the fucking Confederacy. The civil war never ended for them. They hid in plain sight for a century and a half. How many people know that the “GOP” stands for “Grand Old Party”? They stopped calling themselves Republicans 30 years ago. We all think this coup is a sudden thing. Yeah… the frogs are just now feeling the water get hot.
The next step is punishment. Plane and simple.
Yep. And if you think they will stop with brown people, Martin Nemoller might have a thing or two to say. Once our elections go full Russia they’ll come door to door for the guns. Every dictator disarms the population. Every dictator has labor camps. Every dictator has death squads. They will have lists of agitators, enemies of the state, and domestic terrorists. Trump has already talked about depopulating the US by 100 million people.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see this comment slid across an interrogation table at me one day.
You don’t give up your gun when they show up and not only will they all get automatic weapon boners until you’re dead, you will be labeled a domestic terrorist and family will be punished. You will be LUCKY if your loved ones simply get chained to a drone factory. Worst case?? Wives and daughters become comfort women.
Please… please… tell me I’m crazy and that this isn’t the North Korea hellscape we’re headed for.
Oh wait. Now we got him. Maga will finally see the truth. Yup. This is it. We finally have proof of high crimes and misdemeanors. Good sleuthing boys. Job well done. No way he escapes this scandal. Huh… remember that word?.. Scandal? Hm. Not really a thing these days. Anyway… I digress… So happy. Today is truly a day that will be known forevermore as our new independence day. Yup. This was the straw. I can’t believe I was alive for this moment. Our collective trauma can finally begin to heal. Our Republic can once again hold its head high on the world stage. Yes sir. Today you see American exceptionalism on full display. We had a problem and we got to work and fixed it. Super proud to wave the red white and blue again. No more fascism. No more SS. Once again the sun shines on the Constitution. All rights that were once trampled have now been restored. The concentration camps have seen the err of their ways. We got him. Surely no politician could ever survive such a damning revelation. We wake at the dawn is a new day. What once was lost has now been found. Yessir. The American Justice system has proven its superiority. The rule of law has been restored. So happy. All American rejoice in the changing of the guard Inhales deeply huuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh… We are lucky to live in extraordinary times. On the 7th day we all rested. Love won. The victims will all see their retribution.
Sigh.
