The same people who collect guns, mres, buckets of freeze dried foods, and pride themselves on being tougher than most and ready to survive the Apocalypse who FOLDED after less than a month of covid lockdowns because they needed haircuts and Applebees, are claiming that they want a violent war?
Those who want to secede do realize that if there is a war that Applebees wont be open, nor will they receive any federal assistance, don't they?
Do they realize that war will be slightly more inconvenient than not being able to go shopping for a month?
Fuck them (not so) gently with a chainsaw.
Prosecute the seditionists and slap this silliness and the delusions of grandeur right out of their soft heads now.

(9,006 posts)A civil war over what, exactly? Masks? Covid shots? The lie that Trump won the election?
I would say it will take a whole lot more than some disgruntled voters to launch a civil war.
Immature, brainless fucks.

(3,493 posts)If they can't follow simple pandemic instructions then they can't even grasp the basic military command structure. Someone of a higher rank gives you instructions and you are expected to follow them (without question).
These folks would never last a day in any situation in which they weren't giving the orders. Imagine all of these folks trying to do anything as a large group. January 6th is a great example of how organized they are. They had everything handed to them on a silver platter. The capital security forces were thin, the national guard was held back, they were shown what entrances to assault and where to go once inside the building. All of this and the best they could do was get one of their own violently killed and others died via health complications. Then they scatter like cockroaches when the lights are turned on.
They are a bunch of misguided children with on overinflated self value that are being used by folks who couldn't give a spit in the ocean about them.

(509 posts)they are standing amid the wreckage of the end of town where Progressives or Libs or "People of Color" live, swaggering like John Wayne, armed with their Barbie-Doll kitted AR-15, while those of us who are not Trumpkins cower in the corner.
They will learn that they are not the only ones trained, equipped and motivated to defend this country. I suspect that education will come very late in life for them.

(62,515 posts)they think by getting on the band wagon early, the will be part of the "elite leaders" of said civil war.
they want the roll but don't want to practice the lines (an old idiom for bad actors)
but the sad part is; all these fools all think they are leaders.
that single most glaring fact about this morons is what will doom any bizarre hope or fever dream of a "civil war"
they all think they are just one right moment from being recognized as being a "military genius".
just a roving band of morons.

(205 posts)Those who wish for war will expect to be able to order in take out, have their food delivered and then catch the updates of the war on some right wing news outlet just prior to the next reality TV show. Why would they not expect this; it's exactly how Afganistan and Iraq went for them.
It's one thing to take over a building and a whole other thing when you are expected to occupy the property you just took.

(8,711 posts)I guess we are all safe until after NASCAR season and football. Winter is too cold for war. So spring may be a time to lock and load. Get bullets for Christmas.
Do we believe industry and Corporations will allow that to last long before their cash goes to the ones kicking the asses of the MAGA warriors? Remember the Bundy warriors at the Wildlife site having to have snacks and beer braught in during the shock and awe gun fighting.
Heres a proven War tactic. Immediately take out communications. We just need to storm Fox News, OAN, News Max, Alex Jones and Steve Bannon. Eliminate all their pasty chicken shit asses and the war ends. I volunteer to do the Tucker dragging into the streets.

(12,051 posts)rape random women, pillage, beat and rape children, shoot black people, capture and use slaves, loot stores, etc., if the shit really hits the fan. That's their extra bonus, you see. They're willing to trade civilization for a chance to whoop it up.
Thankfully, most of this crowd are so out of shape they couldn't run a block, and they also keep forgetting that the rest of us normal people have guns, too, and aren't afraid of them.

(7,733 posts)The legislators in turn use them for campaign cash. Republicans are stuck with them and Democrats dont have that ultimately destructive burden.
The RW provocateurs arent the only ones looking for some mayhem. There are others who would use the opportunity to pillage. Sane and law abiding Americans all need one another to keep order.

(1,395 posts)They hate liberals and seriously want us all to die. It comes from their own pathologically low self-esteem which is much more serious than "silliness and delusions of grandeur". When they say they want a civil war, what they're really saying is that they would love to kill you.
This is murderous evil on a grand scale. Covid has proven it. Arresting 650+ seditious traitors has only inspired tens of thousands more. The traitors are getting light sentences too.
In 2022, several states will try to overturn elections and then threaten to secede from the U.S.. The murderous R cult of death will see that as their opportunity to start their civil war and the U.S. will not be a safe place for several months. I hope it all ends with several states actually seceding so all the fascist covidiot maskhole traitors can go live in their own hellscapes.
