State senator at Vance rally - "if we lose this one, it's going to take a civil war to save the country"

[onandup]

But the afternoon’s most heated rhetoric came from a local lawmaker, state Sen. George Lang, who warned of a “civil war” if Trump and Vance lose the election this fall.

“I believe wholeheartedly: Donald Trump and Butler County’s JD Vance are the last chance to save our country politically,” Lang said at the event’s opening program. “I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved. It’s the greatest experiment in the history of mankind.”

1. There'd be civil war in all 50 states.

Not like 1861. MAGAts and non-MAGAts cohabit states, even the red ones.

6. That's what they want. House to house combat.

2. How incredibly rhetorically responsible of these clowns.. nt

[Irish_Dem]

3. This is dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric.

This is not leadership. It is anarchy.

[mucifer]

5. Yes ! It's not 10 years ago. The amount of

AR 15s and military grade weapons those psychopaths have is absolutely insane!

[Irish_Dem]

8. This is the world they want.

[Elessar Zappa]

16. Plenty of liberals are armed too.

If they think they won’t face resistance, they’re sadly mistaken. Many, many liberals were in the military, are hunters, target shooters, have guns for self defense, etc.

4. What an ugly fantasy racists continue to have. They are the problem!

[Irish_Dem]

9. Death, destruction, chaos.

They are sick people.

7. Can anyone help me understand ...

… what his angle is here? Is he actually trying to provoke a conflict? Is he trying to scare people into voting for the Shittybilly Circus to avoid blood in the streets? Is he trying to prepare the crowd for extreme anti-election measures? Or is he just some ignorant, hate-filled asshole that doesn’t really pay attention to the words coming out of his mouth? I’m stumped.

[Irish_Dem]

10. Probably all of the above.

[Red Mountain]

11. He must not have read

the 'tone down the rhetoric' memo.

[Wounded Bear]

12. More stochastic terrorism...

[samsingh]

13. i believe the opposite is true

[kimbutgar]

14. Cos play fantasy from a magaloon

Would one give their life to start a civil war or is it just rhetoric?

Because you know the convicted felon would not die for any of his supporters.

[rogerballard]

15. I had to google him to find out who he is...

Of course he just issued an apology, another scumbag.

[Renew Deal]

17. Get ready to lose
