i wish I were being melodramatic. We will see unrest. soon. you're describing Balkanization which really isn't a good thing. At all. The difference from the race riots is that the current radicals have better organization and higher numbers.than those parties. They mostly destroyed their own neighborhoods. Don't think it'll be that way this time.

Elon Musk appreciation thread
Joe Ferguson forever replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
from WSJ https://www.wsj.com/world/russia/musk-putin-secret-conversations-37e1c187 -
we haven't been this close to civil war since the confederacy committed mass treason. the sides are similar now. Urban versus rural. Educated versus uneducated. More affluent versus less. Establishment vs anti establishment. The exceptions, of course, were the leaders of the confederacy who were the slave holders and plantation owners and were attempting to exploit the entire country.. Economic issues were the primary motivation especially for the anti establishment. Same as now...

You were right on til the last sentence. If we want to distill it further, it’s establishment vs anti establishment. Re covid, millions more would have died had not the mandates been in place. re censorship, there are plenty of places MAGAs can discuss their conspiracies including here. finally, in regards to the militaries role in a civil war, I believe it will be solely dependent on which tribe wins.

this election is the fork in the road. trump wins, the second paragraph almost certainly happens.. He loses and the fascist movement almost certainly dies. Who would take his place as the future fuhrer? MTG? Vance? Little Lindsey? nah, none of the have them weird appeal to the losers that the orange man does. conversely, civil war is likely to occur sooner if trump loses and eventually, regardless on who wins, it will happen. We are on the downward slope of the inflection point where the next generation of unskilled workers doesn't do better than the last. That's not going to change. The global economy has it baked in. As it gets worse, regardless of who is prez, unrest will result. History predicts which group will attack the other.

The American Media Should Not Be Trusted

sure, I respect the authority of a nobody who can't use "their" correctly... "Nobody cares about there stories, and Trump is going to take them out." -

ideals, not ideal.

It's about the ideals and policies. She represents the same ones as Biden. Who represented the same ones as Obama and Clinton. She could be an body with the political chops and the strength to advance the core principles of the party. trump is sadly, uniquely awful among R presidents.

don't project your family dynamics on me. I'm certain they're nothing like mine. yes, so where is the author wrong? did trump's first wife divorce papers state that he had a copy of Hitler's speeches at his bedside which he studied. wow. a meme straw man. cool. the nazis would admire that propaganda.

https://www.commondreams.org/views/2019/08/09/leading-civil-rights-lawyer-shows-20-ways-trump-copying-hitlers-early-rhetoric-and A younger Trump, according to his first wife's divorce filings, kept and studied a book translating and annotating Adolf Hitler's pre-World War II speeches in a locked bedside cabinet, Neuborne noted. The English edition of My New Order, published in 1941, also had analyses of the speeches' impact on his era's press and politics. "Ugly and appalling as they are, those speeches are masterpieces of demagogic manipulation," Neuborne says. "Watching Trump work his crowds, though, I see a dangerously manipulative narcissist unleashing the demagogic spells that he learned from studying Hitler's speeches--spells that he cannot control and that are capable of eroding the fabric of American democracy," Neuborne says. "You see, we've seen what these rhetorical techniques can do. Much of Trump's rhetoric--as a candidate and in office--mirrors the strategies, even the language, used by Adolf Hitler in the early 1930s to erode German democracy."

And I see it as a group of people that will accept and sometimes applaud shameful, immoral behavior (and will remain that way after he's gone) and policies and one that won't. As far as state vs federal, trump is throwing the states the abortion issue which is politically smart but he's promised to be a strongman leader in Washington and I believe him. did he do an ad for polident?
