I can't unsee this now and that's good. Re: Righties threatening "civil war" over Trump impeachment

I'm sorry but when I see that these people are threatening a civil war over the possibility of Trump being impeached, all I see is...

We're not going to rise up when the prices of epipens are jacked up astronomically or when people have to use GoFundMe to pay for medical bills!
We're not going to rise up when people who look just like us and say the same things as us are shooting up schools, churches, movie theaters, yoga studios, music festivals, and so on!
We're not going to rise up when the same people who told us the Iraq War would be a cakewalk and it would pay for itself are not facing charges or even censure but are back in the government!

But we will rise up to defend a guy who thinks he is smarter than us because he says he is richer than us! So yeah, take that, libs!

It's something I heard, it's also reality if you think about it.

A lot of people in this country have fully betrayed its interests, yes, but normalizing violence isn't going to solve the problem.

Saying we are in a civil war has nothing to do with normalizing violence.

You need to rethink you’re blanket assumptions and perhaps stop wagging a judgmental finger at people.

Stop using words you don't mean, if you don't mean them.

The guy was murdered by police in his car in front of his wife and child. And it was caught on video. How did we not just rise up then? I will never figure that one out.

but not nearly as many as people are predicting (Bill Maher is one of them). It reminds me of an old Barney Miller episode about a white guy who loved guns and so did his pro-gun group of other middle aged, white men. When their guns could have been used when a real situation arose Barney invited the gun happy dude to come along with the police and he chickened out (all talk). I predict the same would happen now.

Bush, Trump come to mind in the spot light. Others own our Media and other Corporations. Born into money people I have had my fill of.
