      I mean there’s military in the south too.

      But the major thing is that while both sides will technically have nuclear weapons, only one side has the codes to launch them.

    I guarantee you a week ago this dude was crying because “Biden’s rhetoric was too crazy and led to the Trump shooting”

    (Despite the fact the Trump shooter was a conservatuve)

    The confusion after his fight chant was awesome. Like all the meth heads and geezers went:

    “Whaaaa?” blink blink “Oh, ^^fight ^^fight ^^^fight”

      It’s all fun and games until someone shoots an ear and a semi-innocent bystander whose wife refuses condolences from the President due to undying (debatable) loyalty to a demagogue

    Suggesting that a war should be waged against the democratically-elected government of the United States seems… Well, it seems kinda treason-y to me. Just a smidge.

    Republicans think saying “We need to stop Trump” is inciting political violence, but think this guy saying shit like this is A-Ok.

    Reminder to all the MAGA morons out there: Trump’s coup only got as far as it did in 2021 because he was in charge and did nothing to stop it. If Biden is the one in control of handing over the reins, you can bet your ass he’ll curbstomp insurrectionists. You’d be better off staying home for this “civil war” wet dream.

      you’re letting the pigs off the hook, do you think Biden or Trump would have had to say anything if the protestors were BLM protestors storming the capitol?

        Yeah they would have.

        Trump only allowed it to happen because of who was protesting/rioting.

        Any other president or any other protesting group would have had their asses handed to them.

        If maga tries this shit again, it’s going to get real lively. Btw I have my popcorn ready

          My point is the police would have taken care of it without any input if the protestors were not far right.

        Doesn’t matter if you fly a Trump flag or a BLM flag, if you storm the capitol to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, you’re an insurrectionist.

        It’s not complicated.

      The most amazing thing about J6 is that they were all allowed to just go home.

      I still think the NG and DC Police should have surrounded the building and said “you have 5 minutes to come out and lay down, then we’re going to come in and take you out.”

      And then no one leaves until they are ID’d. None of this “4 years of trying to find these fucks.”

        It would be the 2nd time in U.S. history where the other side lost and the ones still standing just…went home…🙄

    My sister married into a Republican asshole family. I’ve met these assholes and actually they are not bad people. Only one of them is actually a total cunt. So should we like wrestle each other harshly or like really go for the jugular with a broken beer bottle?

    Does this senator have some recommendations for gout? A couple of them have gout. I want to make sure they have a fair chance.

    It will probably go something like this… sister in law, so this one senator said we should have civil war because of Trump. Yeah that retard rapist felon, that one. You do? And is it that really good pie? Okay, well let’s have some pie and talk about it? And how are my sisters kid’s doing?..

    Yeah total war over here. I think maybe I’ll organize my family to kick that senator asshole out?

      Because every Republican is exactly like your sister. There are plenty of fascists that would excitedly shoot you and your sister for not being devout enough. Get your head out your ass.

        The point here is that Republicans are people like you and I. “Crazy Republicans” those are few and far between. I would otherwise believe it when I see them over a hill guns blazing.

        One very important aspect of this situation is that they got Trump in office last time because they rigged the electoral college on their favor. However if you compared their population size to the Democratic population size, there are a good ten fold more Democrats than Republicans. So if you wanted a civil war in the style of Hulk vs Superman, the republicans would be represented by a crying baby 🍼.

    Kinda good… If he shows his true colours and tried to fight the government forcefully… He will go to court for his crimes.

    This ain’t so bad…
