Malcolm Nance: "Is the NRA pushing the Civil War line?"

This is an important point to make. Is the NRA pushing the Civil War line?




Is it coincidence that this tweet, designed to instil fear and division, and no doubt for a certain type of American, to buy more guns to ‘defend’ themselves — came shortly after a meeting in the WH w/ the NRA’s corrupt Wayne LaPierre? Asking for a friend.

Russia has been pushing the Civil War/Impeachment theme for a while now.

...That not withstanding, I've learned that anything that comes from Malcolm Nance should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt.

From the Project Lakhta criminal complaint, orders from the Russian troll farm operators: Forcefully support...[the]point of view with competence and honesty. ...any attempt to remove Trump is a direct path to a civil war in the United States.

The NRA is in bed with Putin. You have to filter it through that bit of information.

That's the bottom line. The NRA, most Trump voters, and most of the Modern Right are still pissed off they don't get to own slaves and that black people got their freedom and eventually their rights.

They've never gotten over losing the Civil War.
