(12,712 posts)Is that the keyboard warriors would have to start it. By doing so, they would be fighting their own government because that is what the first response would be since it would an insurrection-like activity and terrorism by nature. Right now, Benedict Manson is the pResident, so, in effect, they would be contradicting themselves in that case, not fighting us.
I guess they imagine some dumbfuck warriors over here and armed democrats over there, which is not going to be the case at all. We aren't even in the game and how do you have a war without and opponent? The battle is legal and political. Doh!
I'm sorry. I know, this is bluster of an emboldened base who really can't even think things like that through.
I just wanted to continue to add reason and logic to this for those who might be feeling any sense of anxiety about the possibility raised by The Tangerine Tyrant right now. Division, rabble rousing and scapegoating are his forte.
Rather than a civil war, I am just concerned that people, (them too) will get hurt or killed and pay a big price for taking this seriously. Just add that to the harm this man is doing to the country right now. I mean ALL of us.

(145 posts)....any piece of crap that calls for armed insurrection from the Pulpit (as far as I am concerned -- any time he speaks, it should be considered from the pulpit as he is always addressing his blind masses) should be charged with insurrection (1st amendment does not cover this kind of 'yelling fire in a theater' horseshit) on the highside; removed from Tax exempt at A MINIMUM!!!
Personally, I do not think ANY church, mosque, synagogue should be tax exempt....but I am a raging atheist.

Wrong on both counts.

(11,425 posts)Done in 2017, said 41% of people who had guns and that is only 30% of population are republicans, 16% democrats, and 36% independents.
Survey was done by Pew research center.
So since some independents lean left or right that would make a difference too.
I think more republicans have guns but 70% of Americans dont have any!
It would really matter about military in a situation like that.
