Honestly, at this point I'm getting tired of them saying it all the time.
Do it.
It would not go the way they think it would go, and the confederate/nazi/MAGA party would be swiftly defeated within days/hours. They do not have the support they think they have, most Americans don't let politics run their lives and Fox poison their brains and a civil war would actually wake those Americans up to the seriousness of what's going on right now.
Agreed. Do it.
At the end of the day, starting a whole-ass war because some people get to have a better life than the bible says they should just isn't a good cause. It sucks that a lot of people think otherwise.
but you lost the last one
Why would they want to lose immediately after losing...I mean, I don't want to kink-shame, but I don't see the logic....
Don’t the remember what happened the last time they tried a little civil war?
2% of the population died.
If we have another civil war, we can learn from our biggest mistake too.
Finish Reconstruction.
We can accept their secession, conquer them, and then keep them as territories. During that time, we can enact policy that helps all Americans. Restore fairness standards in news reporting, wipe out the KKK, pass a voter's bill of rights, tax churches equally, replace FPTP with IRV, and abolish the electoral college.
If we don't address the brainwashing, it'll happen a third time too. They can have a little bit of authoritarianism if they want it so much.
If we have another civil war, we can learn from our biggest mistake too.
Finish Reconstruction.
Obligatory - FUCK ANDREW JOHNSON.
Problem this time is, it isn't quite as clear cut geographically. Even in red states like Georgia, you have MILLIONS of Democrats.
Haha that would be wild!
"...it is a fight we can never imagine."
What does that even mean?
They invoke “civil war” phrase every time they feel threatened, and then wonder why their candidate faced an assassination. Who do they think is the dumbass here? Their voters? Or the opposition?
Oh? It isn't the pen is mightier than the sword?
The penis mightier
These people are still using crayons
They would, but they ate the whole box and now are crying they were taken by immigrants
This war again? You'd think they'd learned their lesson, but they keep burning the books that could teach them.
