White Nationalist Rep. Steve King Posts Violent Meme About New Civil War

.


Funny, in my state the Dems are the ones who have the majority of firepower. This is according to a teaparty State Trooper who lived down the street and moved.


Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who has a long history of touting white nationalism, has taken his meme game to a violent new level.

The disgraced lawmaker ― who was unceremoniously stripped of all his committee assignments earlier this year for previous white nationalist rhetoric ― shared a graphic that imagined “another civil war,” this time between red and blue states.

“One side has about 8 trillion bullets, while the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use,” states the meme, shared on one of King’s verified Facebook pages.

“Wonder who would win...” added King, apparently not noticing that his home state was actually depicted on the losing side.

The Blue states are also the ones who fund those socialist Red States.

Who would be their nannies if funding were cut off?

Besides the old, you can only fire one gun at a time and be accurate issue, Dems strategically purchase their guns and don't feel the need to hoard them. We also sit silently back, observing the teabaggers, and know exactly who will be an issue.

their only objection to him is that he states their commonly held beliefs a little too openly.

Gotta give him credit, he's working really hard to be the worst person he can possibly be.

Apparently, he didn't notice that his fellow Iowans also own bullets. And, guns. As do the people in the states he is mocking. I'd like to see him walk the streets of Chicago's southside without armed guards. He doesn't have the guts. What a piece of shit.

...makes Iowans look like a bunch of backwoods low intelligence farm types who only engage in sexual intercourse with family members and farm animals.

I have to fight an urge to want to move out of Iowa he, Reynolds, Ernst, Grassley, and so on pipe up.

I also find it amusing they think "libruls" wouldn't fight back. Many of us know how to shoot as well as they do or better . . . we just choose not to.

Is this a big meme on Facebook these days or something? Is it left or right wing? I'm out of the loop I guess.

and the race based civil ware BUT make no mistake about, there are MILLIONS of white americans in MILITIAS which continue to exist and grow, untouched by law enforcement and feds. Many are also members of the military, national guard and police.

on financial subsidies from blue states to survive.

Good luck shooting those guns when those welfare payments dry up and you're too poor to eat or keep a roof over your heads.

The stupidity is astonishing.

I'm not all that worried.

We may have the majority now, but that could easily change if Repugs start thinning our numbers through violence or through the law. Some Repugs are elected officials so they know who is and who isn't a Democrat. If we fight them head on they could use that as propoganda to ramp up their base. Many Dems wouldn't want to fight so our fighting force will be way less than the otherside. Guerrila warfare is our only option there I guess. If we don't want to fight at all maybe Dems in heavy red states should think about moving into heavy blue ones so that Repugs would have second thoughts about attacking.
