Trump Supporters Gleefully Threaten Civil War After FBI Raid
Source: Daily Beast
On Donald Trumps social media platform, Truth Social, fervent MAGA supporters are pleased with the idea of a civil war following the FBIs search of the ex-presidents Florida residence. Biden is trying to start a Civil War, a Truth user whose bio states Conservative Truth Shaman, said. Likewise, a verified pro-Trump user wrote: Is it just me or does it now feel like were one step closer to a Civil War? But it didnt end there. Fuck a civil war, give them a REVOLUTION. We out number all of the 10 to 1, one user said. Another supporter whose bio says hes ULTRA MAGA added: And this time we will be armed with more than just flags. A Truth Social representative didnt return The Daily Beasts request for comment on Tuesday. Vice News further reported on Tuesday morning that MAGA, QAnon, and far-right message boards and Telegram channels lit up Monday night with calls for a violent response to what some extremists see as a political attack directed by the Biden administration. That said, its not only extreme MAGA users suggesting civil war, as former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka said Monday night that the FBIs actions are a declaration of war.

Moostache
(9,895 posts)Then overlay the Confederacy and the Deepest Red MAGA states...
Then re-read Confederate opinion circa 1859-1860...
These people are descendants of traitors and have the same insane optimism of a quick victory.
They are pathetic, will be mowed down by the thousands if they are dumb enough to amass in formations and will be routed in a matter of months by loyal UNITED STATES SOLDIERS, who follow orders, uphold actual oaths sworn and defend the Constitution, which does not permit secession (an issue already resolved once before).
I find their lack of historical knowledge disturbing...first January 6th was "1776 all over again" and now they are ready to jump straight into a "second civil war" because the FBI executed a SIGNED JUDICIAL SEARCH ORDER? They throw fits when mixed race couples are on TV commercials, are represented in public by fools who sound like they are deluded and they threaten violence when they do not get their way?
At least the average "Johnny Reb" back in '61...that's 1861 had the excuse of not being able to get real information and fought for tradition and the system that oppressed the average soldier far more than the landed gentry. Today? These fools think that because liberals react to impolite and bad behavior with disgust that it is a sign of weakness.
Handle them all as all traitors deserve - arrest, trial, and hangings.

MarineCombatEngineer
(12,399 posts)but of the 30% who are hard core MAGAt's, a very small portion will pick up weapons against the American people, IE: the Govt and fight, of that very small percentage, most will either be killed/wounded/arrested or crap their pants and run home to mama's basement and cower in fear once the shooting starts and rounds start coming their way.
Most are wanna be warriors who were raised on video games such as Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, etc, and think that's the real deal and have never experience actual combat, while those that actually have will be put down PDQ.
IOW, most Trump supporters are all hat and no cattle other than taking to the internet and expressing their faux outrage.
Again, this is only my opinion.

housecat
(3,121 posts)said something like "fools rush in where angels fear to tread" because they are all fools. The few with any military skills will probably shoot each other, civilians, farm animals, and pets on both sides. They have no leadership, no clue of what they think they are about to do, and obviously no plan. In my humble opinion, all they have are weapons that they may or may not know how to use, and they like to appear on television. Blind hubris will get you every time, because ya can't fix stupid. Personally I don't care if they all get "killed/ wounded/ arrested/ or crap in their pants" maybe all at the same time.

(5,125 posts)My son is an outlier and is all excited about having some rifle that can blow up a watermelon.
I don't know if I can ever get him out of their hooks. He says he's "conservative" financially and still supports gays (but doesn't want to see them parading around in front of his kids. His oldest son is gay and accepts this bs.)
He isn't racist because some of his best friends are black.
There is some sort of high in being given a weapon of mass destruction and set loose for some sort of "cause" that will give these people lots of consequences eventually.
But how many innocents will die before they are taken into custody and order restored?
I feel sick.
MarineCombatEngineer
(12,399 posts)but the end result will be the same, it will fail because the traitors will not have the American population on their side, which is a must for any successful insugency/coup.
TigressDem
(5,125 posts)They have gerrymandered districts to weight their votes, so what if they are going after our Democratic leaders and not the population in general?
What if this isn't a "CIVIL WAR" but a coordinated attack on the actual Democratic institutions like Jan 6th?
What if each rethuglican group does a coordinated attack and eliminates the leadership that stands against them and tRump walks up and does like DeSatan did, appoint whoever he thinks will do his bidding?
We keep thinking they are too stupid to pull anything off, and yet their deceit and willingness to go lower than ever before slap us in the face afterward.
I hope to GOD that I am wrong, but I have a bad feeling about this.
MarineCombatEngineer
(12,399 posts)but I'm sensing a seismic shift in our country and it isn't going the way the Trump traitors had hoped it would.
I hope to GOD you're wrong also, because if you're right, then prepare for all our civil war, but I just don't believe the traitors have the American people on their side.
TigressDem
(5,125 posts)Because the numbers of creeps that support tRump DO outnumber the elected officials going to bat for us day to day by a good number. Possibly even 10 - 1.
IF they are buying the tRump logic that it is DEM leadership that is out to get him and in control of the witch hunt, then it makes sense.

Remember how few mass shooters there were before Limbaugh started them up?

Just a few well placed snipers could really put a damper on turnout. (pure supposition).

liberalgunwilltravel
(327 posts)If they try, they are going to be very surprised that they are vastly outnumbered. Further, by their little stunt originally holding up the vote to secure health care for veterans exposed to burn pit toxins they've pissed off a lot of veterans who if not before, certainly are now willing to giving them a lesson in combat infantry. Meal Team 6 is in for a real surprise.

(9,815 posts)My Bro sent me a link to the Ocean City DE Tuna Tournament.
Fish go for the bait.
So who's to confirm or deny:
1. DoD/CIA salted briefings with bogus information they knew would go straight to Putin, as evidenced in his massive intelligence failure in the invasion of Ukraine.
2. Jets fly into contested airspace (and certain people visit) just to see what Chinese radars and other electronic countermeasures (ECM) get fired up in response. (an record it -- for ECCM)
3. MAGATS get massively provoked (now, that ain't hard to do) to see (and record) which ones threaten mayhem.
Just be wary of the silent ones. They're harder to nail, though the latest haul might be the BIGGIE that sinks their battleshit.

Farmer-Rick
(10,185 posts)The South had a lot of wealth from slave labor and cotton.
The North had a lot of wealth from factory production.
Separating the 2 was easier than today when we have corporations that make wealth all over the US, not just in one localized area.
Also, Federal taxes pay for a lot of stuff in the red states from tourist attractions to education to health care to hospitals to police etc....federal income taxes never went to the southern states before the civil war.
The poorer southern GOP states get a lot of tax support from the North. They will be cutting their own throats if they start a civil war.
But what happened in January at the capitol, was more like Chile and Pinochet then a civil war. We even had a Nixon supporting the attackers in Putin.

(14,855 posts)Authoritarians also are often unaware of just how different they are from most people. They tend to believe they are very average. Altemeyer has found that authoritarians in America underestimate how prejudiced and conformist they are compared to the majority of Americans. Altemeyer has also observed that when he lectures about the psychology of right-wing authoritarians to his students, the RWA students in his class fail to recognize themselves in his description. Altemeyer believes the tendency of authoritarians to avoid anyone who isn't like them reinforces their belief that they are normal. They have relatively little contact with normal people.

(8,224 posts)They think they accomplished something on 1/6. In essence they had limited success on 1/6 because Trump turned off the defense. He actually started far earlier and defense against the RWNJs was fully off by the BLM protests on the summer of 2020. This is how Rittenhouse walked into a rally and started shooting protestors and then just walked away fully armed.
Biden has turned the defenses back on nearly 2 years ago.
Note that we have a government that can take out the head of al-Queda sitting on his balcony in Kabul with very little damage to the building from a drone likely piloted in South Dakota. The notion that these bubbas with their pop guns stand any real chance of starting or sustaining a 'civil war' is flatly absurd. Because Trump gave them the illusion of actual competence, some might indeed try, it will not last long and will end badly and stunningly fast for those who do.
prodigitalson
(2,425 posts)pull off a sustained campaign of bombings and shootings and that the 'civil war' will be akin to The Troubles in N. Ireland. That went on from the 70s through the 90s and killed a lot of people.
quaker bill
(8,224 posts)A small number of people when dedicated and prepared to die for the cause, can wreak a lot of havoc in an open society.
The troubles were organized old school style, and government had nowhere near the intelligence tools it has now. These modern rebels carry gps enabled phones and communicate by phones or the internet. If they go true insurgent and radio silent, they might survive for a while.
Coordination of effort without detection and intervention will be very tough. Now, we already have lone wolves and racists shooting up public schools, night clubs, and grocery stores, so the shift to a ' new cause' might be subtle.
