Really? These clowns couldn't take over the capitol building and now they think theyre going to take over the country? Honk your nose for me on your way our the door, k?
The problem with all the slap-on-the-wrist sentences for the insurrectionists, and a totally free pass for Trump for inciting it… Is that they are emboldened to try again.
The only lesson they learned from the insurrection is that next time they should bring all their guns. If people don’t understand that, they are nuts.
They came within a hair of achieving their goal last time. Why wouldn’t they try again?
slap-on-the-wrist sentences for the insurrectionists,
This is the largest group prosecution in the history of the US. Nothing else comes close. It’s a conveyor belt of justice sending losers to the federal pen.
and a totally free pass for Trump for inciting it
He was impeached for it and is now indicted for over 90 felonies. Dude will be under house arrest for the rest of his life. They’re unrelated but there’s a reason why lots of prosecutors are targeting him. Turns out the Justice Department doesn’t like it when you try to invade Congress. They took that shit seriously.
They actually believe that they can revolt, and with their AR-15s, magically take out National Guard troops and just acquire their weapons and armored vehicles.
A member of my family is not only a veteran, but also fell into this lunacy and thinks his work as a logistics officer and his NG training puts him on the level of the Navy SEALs. And he’s almost 60. He salivates at the idea of fighting the mythical military oppression from the evil Demoncrats trying to take away his guns.
I don’t understand how they think that would work. Like an officer with a few decades in is going to throw away their career for something they saw on the internet? Or do they think a private is going to turn against their unit? Or maybe all the soldiers in a unit will mutiny against their CO? But then how is that rogue unit going to be supplied?
Too bad they fucked over the country so much, 90% of people in the military are just poor people that cant afford college (or to live in general). I dont think these people will join some white supremacist fucks
A lot of people gloss over this fact. Most of the folks I served with were poor Latino kids looking for GI Bill money to pay for school. Myself included, minus the Latino part.
Its not just red yokels from Nebraska who can tag an Ivan at 300m. You’re 100p correct, most of the folks in the military would not want to harm other Americans. Most of those guys are patriotic in the good sense.
they crossed that line already with an uptick in racially motivated mass shootings. you cant prepare for these kind of events like a declaration of war. and that’s where the real dangers lie.
Going to try to give a different perspective here, bear with me. I’m neither left nor right as they are both taking sides of the corral I wouldn’t be in. They are however both taking this very seriously, so I’m thinking cartoon memes of Civil War might be make a person, mmm, callous towards it? Civil War conditions don’t allow much hanging out on the Internet at home right? Maybe the meme sell is you will be able to do that?
There are surely many deadly people on all sides out there especially if your skills in are in computers and memes. I would think that is the last thing either side would really want!
Reality check for those perception manipulating about the South, um, that is where the majority of US Special Forces are born, those people grow up with guns.
I’ve been seeing a few documentary style videos on YouTube talking about the uptick in far-right groups in the US. One guy was able to talk to a former group member, saying for the past year or-so they’ve been “preparing” for a civil war. Another member said they had people intentionally join the army to try and get people on the inside.
Documentary bro tried to contact the FBI about it and was able to get in contact with an agent, but the FBI essentially said they wouldn’t do anything about it.
Although I don’t think a civil war is going to happen anytime soon, it’s scary to think that the FBI doesn’t seem to care about any of this.
I’m located in the Northeast, and the lineage of “Military families” is exceedingly rare here. Most people I know joined up for economic reasons, and tested well enough to be in operational, engineering, and medical roles rather than any infantry.
A friend of mine joined as a right wing conservative (the whole Christian soldier kind of thing) and came out of the military pretty left. Then in the last few years he started slipping down the Joe Rogan slide and has been moving more right again.
Im liberal as fuck, but for some reason my lifestyle surrounds me with right leaning folks.
Day to day, they aren’t bad. But holy fuck, bring up politics and they almost all go fucking sideways balls to the wall conservative, and forget that they’re all felons…
Civil wars don’t just start. There’s a build up. Republicans will begin to engage in acts of domestic terrorism like bombings and blowing up substations. Dems will definitely retaliate and that’s how we get a civil war.
I doubt even this would cause a civil war. By world standards, U.S. citizens have pretty good lives, so most people wouldn’t risk it. An unprecedented and complete collapse of the U.S. quality of life would be necessary. People would need to feel like they had nothing to lose, and much to gain to attempt to fight the U.S.
I suppose a quick coup is possible. If the DoD/military backed it, I’d guess most people would just accept it as the way things are, or try to emigrate to other countries.
The U.S., the “west”, and possibly the entire world is probably just destined for a long slow decline as global capitalism eats itself. Probably transitioning to something worse featuring mass surveillance, disinformation like we’ve never seen (powered by “AI” tech), and even greater inequality. But I’m a pessimist :)
If by “retaliate”, you mean arrest people, then yes. The closest dems get to doing things outside the law is black people “getting uppity” and accidentally setting fire to the local buger king.
The GOP is a party of cowards. They go along with Trump and all the crazy narratives only because they’re afraid of being primaried and losing their positions.
There is a potential for violence and domestic terrorism but it would be a disorganized mess. Just the few true believers duped by the crazy narratives into doing something stupid.
What are you on about? Crazy cultist fraction of a political party act out in violence and the other political party decides regular authorities nor even military are not enough to handle organized domestic terrorism but retaliates by own volition? How? By blowing up the neighbouring substation? Political activists driving around in armoured gas powered SUVs vs electric vehicles competing who can damage society most? The absolute majority of people that just want a stable life and feel generally disconnected from politics goes bananas and start shooting and looting and killing over minor disagreements? Bitcoin and gold becomes the most valuable currency along with ammunition and canned beans? Or the worst crime against humanity and allow the normal course of legal process as if the leadership and participants were just like any other citizens doing unlawful activities? Oh no, where be my pearls?
I don’t think Nancy pelosi is going to take to the streets with an RPG. I think individual people who identify as Democrat will take it upon themselves to retaliate.
No civil war. This time just let them go. They will quickly devolve into third world countries. And my federal tax dollars will no longer go to their bullshit.
This is it. These people only respect power and hierarchy. Honestly most of the crazies will back down when they lose an election. January 6th was just the stupidest ones.
If they could just live their lives in peace without infringing on the rights and freedoms of others they wouldn’t need a civil war. They wouldn’t have needed the first civil war either.
That sounds cool fun and easy but armed and untrained and undisciplined nut jobs crawling from the woodwork is not going to be a clean finish for anyone involved. Obviously this isn’t meant to be a deterrent for the justice system… but we’re working on a different tier here. It’s not going to be high profile business and agencies fighting each other. It’s going to be normal working people being attacked by deranged wing nuts and always by surprise, because there will be no centcom for them.
So, if you think you’re going to be prepared for an outcome like this, I do wonder what you’re packing.
The US military will aggressively dismantle any secessionist activity if it comes to blood. Hopefully we get to see some combined arms ops with the good tech for once instead of holding back.
Meanwhile I’m gonna crack cold ones while I watch red states suffer from their own actions.
The US military will aggressively dismantle any secessionist activity if it comes to blood.
There will definitely be no mistakes they make that cost uninvolved citizens their lives. No matter what, the U.S. military will never be wielded against opponents of the ruling regime, nor in a way that serves the personal interests of those in power.
Seriously, this is a bad outcome. This is a worse outcome. I’d rather have individuals crawling from the woodwork than the U.S. military being used against citizens.
No it’s not. These fuck twits are about as inept as a guard in Metal Gear Solid. Throw em a few bones of disinformation, throw em in a bad scenario trapped, light em up. Rinse, wash, repeat. They will infight the fuck out of enough defeats.
“Civil War” is just some fear mongering posturing. Nothing more.
Nah, these morons aren’t smart or subtle enough to “go to ground” and make enduring sleeper cells. Remember, they Livestreamed their crimes on 1/06 and refused to wear masks to conceal their identities at the one time in history it wasn’t a massive red flag to do so.
Once again as someone outside the country, you guys are due for getting knocked down a few pegs. Like what did you think the end result of this level of bipartisan bullshit would be if not civil war?
Do you really think any of us (sane) people wanted this bullshit. Half of this has been spawned by the rich and the religious zelots. The other half by not cleaning up the last one properly. Seriously its not talked about too much but parts of the south became guerilla warzones after the civil war.
I dunno, the south might give us a run for our money this time around. I mean, they have some of the most elite soldiers in the country, including but not limited to: the Gravy SEAL’s Meal Team Six, the Green Buffets, and the Roast Guard. Not to mention their many terror sleeper cells like the Yee-Hawdists, Y’all Qaeda and Vanilla ISIS.
Scary thought to put our uniformed men and women against that crack fighting force, they might come back with some severe PTSD.
