Deeply Disturbed, Heavily Armed trump supporters promise civil war

I don't mind subjectivity. Most of the content of this forum is opinion and subjective analysis, although not all of them have the same credibility. That's where the underpinnings of fact come in, they bolster the worth of the opinion.

 

It's NYT, so many here don't have access. I'll see if I can find something else, too.

Talk of ‘Civil War,’ Ignited by Mar-a-Lago Search, Is Flaring Online

 

We’ll still be fretting about the possibility of civil war in 2036.

 

Probably. But it's pretty clear that rhetoric has increased and taken a much more radical and paranoid tone.

 

agree. And in addition to than lone wolf crazies, Jan 6th proved trump follower zealots are capable of conducting violence in concert.

 

I guess they were here before Trump, though not nearly as obvious as they are now. He does give them a focal point that they didn't have before.

Not to mention the internet and social media give them a greater sense of community and being part of a movement they wouldn't have had otherwise.

 

Maybe. I think the fringe was always out there and always armed. Now it’s easier to see them because they post online. Before none of us would know or care what a small group of idiots did in Utah or Illinois or Washington. Hell we’d probably not hear about a group one state over. So I’m not sure the rhetoric is increasing.

 

Only if the crazies in 2036 are still talking about how they want it to happen.

 

On both sides.

 

I wouldn’t mind seeing the US break up. But Biden says the government has F-15’s.

 

I’ve seen no evidence that it’s anywhere near equal from both sides.

 

I’ve seen lots of evidence that it is ever so much worse coming from the left.

 

Any links to civil war talk from the left?

 

See: Antifa

 

The only thing I got from google about Antifa planning civil war was a link to something from Infowars. In 2017. Got anything else?

For anyone logging time on the far right corners of the Internet, this coming Saturday is not just another autumn weekend but the potential start date of an apocalyptic showdown.

Infowars has warned “Antifa Plans ‘Civil War’ to Overthrow the Government.” The John Birch Society put out two recent videos warning Americans to “stay home and tell your children to do likewise” on Saturday. YouTuber “A Glock Fanboy” notched more than 400,400 views for a clip raising the alarm about “the first day of the revolution or whatnot.”

“Honestly, I’m happy,” the YouTuber told his followers. “Dude, we’ve been on the verge of the great war for what seems like forever and I’m just ready to get it going.”

 

Comedian known for her meme of her, holding aloft Trump’s bloody decapitated head, worries about civil war ...

Kathy Griffin slammed for saying Republicans will start a 'Civil War'

 

Antifa held a meeting early on, in which it agreed to burn down cities and kill people, but to dexterously avoid the specific term ‘civil war.’

 

To be fair, that's because the left wants the current government to enforce their views on the entire populace, versus seceding from the Union to have their own country.

 

when you make up stuff, it just says you don't have anything real to offer.

 

Any links to civil war talk from the left during the last administration?
