Bring it on, you obese, illiterate cockroaches. I want to see your oversized, maga-smeared pickup trucks rolling coal on eachother in a traffic jam for two weeks while you all complain about how Arby's won't let you use the shitter unless you buy something. You can use your airsoft holsters to hold your 84 ounce fountain drinks and twinkies.
What a bunch of fake little pussy bitches. Even the tough-guy, meat-head gym-rat conservatives will be surprised to find so many on the left are well trained and champing at the bit to solve this problem.
Please let them do something. Please, Santa? We've been good all year!
Your post gave me a very thorough chub, please, keep going. <3
Let's go! Sheriffs & gun owners vs. military & Secret Service
(The Supreme Court ruled that the president, which will still be Biden by November, can legally use the military for any official act. As long as the FBI has at least one undercover QAnon account, they can plan ahead the response to any MAGA operation.)

If the facts don't match my feelings, we should do a civil war!
They have been screaming that shit ever since obama and they still haven't done shit.
I think January 6 proved that they are more willing to take extreme measures. The tension has been noticeably increasing.
Yeah but imagine if there had been an actual armed response then. They would have been slaughtered.
I doubt they'll be so chill this time.
The reality is the rhetoric at hand leads only to civil war or a coup if it continues. The fascists are no longer pretending to respect elections, they have multiple oligarchs funding their delusions, and they're armed and violent.
It might not be this year, but it could be. Or the next.
This is why I can't stand the holy than thou people saying na na na boo boo you won't do shit about MAGA types in the comments of posts like these. J6 was a warning shot in the sense that we got lucky it was not well planned and that they were very stupid once they gained entry.
These people are crazy and they have demonstrated the willingness to act. It's so dangerous to say they won't do anything. They might not, but there is no calling it either way.

For the original civil war there was actual geographic separation. Now they can only win through gerrymandering so I’m not sure how they envision the logistics of such a war playing out. Seems more like you would have to resort to what most people would call domestic terrorism.

Conservatives: Hold my beer.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof
The Trump presidency and the years since then have more than ever shown that the rules don't apply to everyone equally.
And yet...

But Lang's comments came after numerous polls have shown sizable portions of Americans, particularly Republican voters, sympathizing with the state lawmaker's message.
The funny thing about civil war is that you only need one side to believe in it at first.

Oh please you fucking hillbillies, do it.
If war broke out this coward would hightail it to safety so fast his heart would stop.
Biden should give an executive order to lock this guy up for treason.
When people complain about that, point to the SCOTUS decision that the president can do whatever the fuck he wants without legal repercussions.
If any of the people who complain even vaguely hint at violence in reaction to this, give an order to lock them up for treason, too.
Keep this cycle going until the last grunt has understood that this type of behavior will not stand.
Once all the people willing to call for violence are locked up, use the same reasoning to disband the current SCOTUS and replace it with something that is not an embarrassment for a modern democracy, with a strong recommendation to immediately renounce the ruling that made all of that legal.
By the time the dust has settled Biden will be too old to be persecuted for any of that anyway.
I know none of this will happen, writing it out just as a happy little fantasy.
I'm pretty sure Biden is living on borrowed time now. The only reason for him not to do whatever the hell he wants is to not affect Harris' image.

So why isn't he under arrest for sedition?
In the event there is one, I expect nothing less than Senator George Lang to be right there on the front lines leading the charge.
Last Civil war took 2% of the entire US population with it. And that was during muskets and cannons. So I'm pretty sure Senator George Lang wouldn't mind being one of the 7 million people (if we're that lucky to keep that number that low) that a second Civil War would inevitably kill.
All these blow hards cry war, but would start running with shit in their pants when the shelling starts. And looking at the turkey Senator George Lang is, I doubt man could run more than ten feet before being winded. A better title would be "Poster child for heart disease coward wouldn't mind if a lot of other people killed each other so he could feel better about being unable to see his cornichon sized penis."
Fuck this cunt and any other like him that call for war and clearly have zero intent or ability to actually fight in one. If you aren't wanting peace in your own country, you should see your dumb ass out.
Sabre rattling. He’s scared. Good.
I’m starting to get the impression they are shitting themselves.
They caught the car barking at Biden and now Kamala is going to absolutely wipe the floor with them.
Invest in popcorn futures, the whole world is watching
Why are there no repercussions for shit like this? We've just given up holding them accountable, haven't we.
To the point where nobody discussed at all that immunity for the President doesn't apply if they don't have a complicit Congress. We just take it as a given that no President will be impeached and removed for their actions, because no matter how unhinged Trump acts, Congress kowtows to him.
