SO-YOU-WANT-A-CIVIL-WAR-HUH

From Daily Kos:

Gee, ever stop to think what that really means?
In real-life terms, Proud Boi; not in those ‘God, Guts, and Guns” fever-dreams with which you normally frenzy yourself...
Married?
Your wife won’t be making those weekly, possibly even daily. trips to Costco, Starbucks, grocery stores or beauty salons, the malls, the beaches, the parks, etc.;
Ain’t gonna be no Hobby Lobby; no Chik Fil-A; no Beer Barn; no monster trucks or Stock Car races, no Indy 500, no ANYTHING.

1. This was a good read.

It lays it bare.

If it's Civil War they want, EVEYTHING CEASES and you live under constant threat. You can't be a sniper on Tuesday and expect your Amazon order on Thursday and go boating on the weekend.

6. My MAGA neighbor takes his giant F-150 and even larger boat to Mexico every other weekend.

If there were a Civil War in the US, he'd be stopped at the border because all of our borders would be closed and national and international travel would cease. Business and leisure would be ground to a halt, even more so than they've been during this pandemic.

2. Very scary article

I can't believe some people actually want a civil war to happen. It would be my worst nightmare.

3. K&R for visibility.

4. Those who have the most to lose, like Republican Voters...

Should be very careful about what they wish for, especially when it also means people (hell, probably from their own side) will be coming to take all of their toys, goodies, and things.

5. We've been in a civil cold war since the 80s.

Conservatives talk a good game but they'll never go through with it - they're cowards.

7. I still don't understand those who think there's going to be a civil war.

I keep asking how this would work logistically?

Will there be armies, conscription, generals on both sides?

I was insulted by another poster for even asking the question. But no one has answered it so far.

8. A Simple Song of Freedom

"Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.

Hey, there, mister black man, can you hear me?
I don't want your diamonds or your game
I just want to be someone known to you as me
And I will bet my life you want the same.

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war.

Seven hundred million are ya list'nin'?
Most of what you read is made of lies
But, speakin' one to one ain't it everybody's sun
To wake to in the mornin' when we rise?

Come and sing a simple song of freedom
Sing it like you've never sung before
Let it fill the air
Tell the people everywhere
We, the people here, don't want a war..."

Bobby Darin
