There are now more and more mass shootings daily.
As I wrote in another post, their war isnt upon just the left, its upon society.
As these shooting now are a frequent daily occurrence, they will next be emboldened to do worse.
Mark my words. We are only witnessing the opening salvos right now.

And I dont know about you but I do A LOT more than keyboarding.
I donate, I march, I work for campaigns and I recommend to sitting members of the DNC to SOUND THE FUCKING ALARM even if that means going on cable news and dropping F bombs to get the ATTENTION of people!

Then if you do vote their friends in the state houses controlled by the gop will simply refuse to certify any election the gop loses.

(2,026 posts)They believed not voting was a protest statement. That's how the original Nixon got elected. This shits thats going on now is nothing new in modern politics. We need to look,listen, and learn from history and understand today history is growing ever more compressed relative to time compared to when many of us were young. While there is still massive value in history over time, centuries, we need to acknowledge that a new history, measured in decades, a history in time that also needs to be acknowledged. over the last 100 years everything has been speeding up, including history.

(47,131 posts)Because the GOP refused to follow the science to protect Americans.
It was on purpose.
So are the gun deaths.
We are just collateral damage in the GOP war against America.
A war they are fighting for power and wealth.

(58,785 posts)among other things, civil war could manifest, as never before, as FIRE in this era of extreme droughts, extreme heat, disappearing rivers, lakes, springs. Fire could sweep a whole city after a couple guys went down their block to burn out a family they didn't like -- and there weren't nearly enough resources available to stop it due to the chaos and aggressions of war. And in hundreds of other communities.
Other manifestations would be beyond anything ever felt before. Look at the formula shortage just a few minor factors created across our entire functioning nation! How many babies alone would die when WAR disrupted supplies of special nutrition -- and kept them disrupted? How many other fragile little lives after local medical offices, hospitals, pharmacies were destroyed?
X 10,000. We don't live even partially, much less mostly, off our own land anymore. Deaths from privation -- lack of adequate food, water, shelter, medication -- would begin immediately, and build.
And the days when lack of modern medical care culled populations from birth are long gone. Besides fragile young lives, over 100M Americans have one or more chronic medical conditions, most living "healthy" lives as long as care continues.
