Trump is going to cause a civil war and I am all for it. Never should have lifted our foot off the South's neck.
These ICE terrorists have apparently never seen a Ukrainian drone video.
Everyone arguing for "war" or direct violent confrontation either hasn't fully thought it through, is actively trying to weaken the country, or is speaking with emotion, not brains.
Do really you think when fighting breaks out, people are just gonna rally to your cause like patriotic Americans? Or that Republicans will have a change of heart at the thought of killing their fellow Americans? Maybe the military will spring a coup d'etat because Trump goes too far? Delusion. All delusion.
Any group that's still active and outside by morning will be a target for a regime itching for an excuse to pull the trigger, with no safeguards to stop them. It doesn't even need to be all that violent: they just need a sliver of a chance to propagandize it as violent. No "autonomous zone" fantasy land bullshit this time. The American Tank Man will be steamrolled right over by an MRAP that doesn't even slow down.
People reference the American Revolution a lot lately. But read a book: it was preceded by years of planning, organizing, stockpiling, and training. Farmer John Puritan didn't just wake up one morning in 1755 to grab a musket and kick a red coat in the nuts.
If you're thinking of violence, wait just a moment and think about steps 2 and 3.
I agree organization and planning is needed.
But war is coming whether we like it or not.
