Not to a man.

We would be done if they would have caved to Trump.

Thank you for all in military!

Visited family in Oceanside and Fallbrook near Camp Pendleton this past weekend. I just can’t anymore. For those who don’t know Pendleton is a base for Marines in Southern California. I wanted to vomit due to all the Marines in jacked up F250s,Mustangs, Camaros with Trump flags, confederate stickers, Molon Labe stickers …in California!!! Same types of a-holes in 29 Palms!! Many of these military individuals are not on our side. Not feeling too warm and fuzzy about our future culture!

They plan to continue pissing and shitting all over civility, decency, and truth. Just as they've been doing for the last quarter century or more.

He is dumber than dirt if he thinks he can make this foolish statement publically. Homeland Security and our intel services probably are monitoring all communications this yokel is having with his fellow magat insurrectionists.

You can call it a Cold War of sorts, but it's already far more of a genuine war that the us-soviet Cold War.

They are breaking laws and norms, defying the will of the people, threatening violence, and actually committing violence, never mind an attempted coup *and* they're excusing and supporting those traitors.

Add to that, many of those on the right are now biological terrorists going out trying to catch and spread a lethal disease that has and will kill more Americans.


So other than organized battalions, it's pretty much a civil war already. Well, their side is fighting a civil war. Our side is still hoping we can simply outvote them.

13. This is how the far right visualizes a "civil war."

I spent several years monitoring a large gun forum. This is the way "they" see it:

All of the "patriots" will get in their pickup trucks with their guns and go kill a bunch of people of color, liberals, Jews, politicians, professors and the like. When their blood lust is satisfied, and they have things under control they will go drink beer and bask in the glory of being modern "Minutemen." They will install Trump as President for life and live happily ever after. It will only take a few days, maybe a week, because they have all of the guns and everyone else is scared of them....

Of course, after the party, all of us surviving sheeple will cower in the corner and will bend to their every whim from that day forward. America will be great again like it was prior to the Civil War of 1861 When wealthy white men ruled and where everyone knew their place....They will keep people of color on the farm or in other menial jobs and all of women at home, barefoot and pregnant, like God intended.

They are fucking idiots.

Any uprising will be crushed like a bug. And if it did get any legs, say goodbye to our economy. Suddenly Kansas and Mississippi will know what its like to not have California subsidizing their infrastructure. And suddenly have to pay a lot more for food that comes out of the left coast.

And Europe, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc. in conjunction with China and Russia will invade to safe guard our nuclear assets to keep the stupid people away from it.

can't produce plans that have a chance of success.

Having a proven and well documented incompetent boob be their leader is the best way to make sure there isn't a civil war.
