'Civil War' Trends on Twitter After Iowa TFG Rally Attendee's Remarks Go Viral

"Civil War" was a top trending topic on Twitter on Sunday after remarks from an attendee of former President Donald Trump's rally in Iowa were widely circulated online and by the media.

Trump held a rally at the Iowa State Fairground in Des Moines on Saturday. At the event, Trump supporter Lori Levi told MSNBC that she believes the U.S. is headed for a "civil war." Levi criticized Democrats and Republicans, saying most members of the GOP are "as weak as they possibly could be in Congress."

"They're establishment. They don't care about the American people because they're in their elite little tower," she said. "So we're just sick of it, you know, and we're not going to take it anymore. I see a civil war coming. I do. I see civil war coming."

As of Sunday afternoon, the term "Civil War" had been tweeted nearly 67,000 times as it trended on the major social media platform. Many were criticizing Trump supporters and the right-wing "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement. Some also tried to offer solutions to the current divide within American society.

Because the last Civil War worked out so well for the insurrectionists. These guys are high from sniffing their own farts if they believe a bunch of beer bellied bubbas are going to restore the orange tub of lard to the Whitehouse.

Those who, to satisfy their own desires, entertain and seemingly encourage, a civil war, come primarily from the uncivil tribe.
Among USa all, they are most unseemly.

I expect more of an Iraq-style insurgency, with regional or local cells conducting terrorist attacks, sabotage and "hit and run" assaults to undermine legitimate institutions and ultimately the government itself.

Due to its distributed nature an insurgency is much harder for national armed forces to suppress than a civil war.

But I pray to the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I'm wrong.

Let me guess. She voted for Grassley the last 7 times he ran.

Because she is against “the establishment.”

and boats at risk by starting an uprising. They will talk big and leave it to the ones we have worry about, the ones who go over the edge and slide into McVeigh territory plotting bombings.

We have already seen a lot of these types, plotting to hang Pence, kidnap governors, etc.

In light of all this terrorist activity and insurrectionist behavior, to my knowledge, not a one have been charged as a terrorist or under any insurrection statutes.

Yea, they'll walk us into a civil war because they're sick of it. Sick of it will look pretty damn good after a couple of weeks of war.
