Are we being pushed into another Civil War?

I just don't see how you get from any Saturday night in Anytown, USA, to Civil War. Gun violence in this country is very unfortunate, but common. I'd say riots and demonstrations and conservative talking heads cranked to Maximum Outrage are likely, but war? Just don't see it. Guess I'm just one of the dozens of close-minded minions espousing my BS, whom you deign to debate, despite your stated very low expectations.

 

yeah, everyone has a plan until they are punched in the face. Cosplaying idiots that need a gun to go buy a sandwich ain’t gonna do shit, captain hysteria

 

You know a Trumper has lost an argument when they default to "orange man bad." It's waving a surrender flag.

 

Its interesting that it says it oversampled older people, which definitely backs up the keyboard commando hypothesis that they are full of shit. If you want an actual civil war, make unemployment like 40-50% with people under 30.

 

No need for silly insults. I was responding to this from you:

But the fact is the first paragraph in your OP is simply a defense of Trump. Are you really trying to claim he did nothing criminal isn't a defense?

 

Finally, some love for the media!

On the flip side, did they get it all right? Is civil war, in fact, inevitable? Is there any room for dissenting opinions on outcomes? You seem oddly defensive regarding ideas that run counter to yours. It's like you take it personally.

"If only you idiots/sheep/close-minded minions would agree with me, I wouldn't have to rant on and on for 14 pages about this looming catastrophe!"

 

You wrote six paragraphs and five of them mention Trump

 

No need for the silliness. just explain why you think saying he did nothing close to criminal isn’t a defense.

 

I do my poor best.

 

I think the problem is you're just really bad at writing. You could have easily said what you wanted to say in 1 paragraph rather than 6.

 

"Let me explain how it wasn't about Trump by talking about how Trump was relevant to everything I posted."

Just throwing this out there - you could have said, "Pretend the ex-president in question is not Trump, would prosecuting the President potentially result in civil war" and then not go on to mention Trump again repeatedly. Except you can't do that, because the ONLY reason we could POTENTIALLY have a civil war is because of Trump supporters. If you take Trump out of the equation then there absolutely ZERO reason to think that prosecuting an ex-President who committed crimes would lead to a civil war.

Maybe have a moment of self-reflection and think about why 50+ responses incorrectly interpreted your post. Just maybe it wasn't clear enough and at some point you should have said "My fault for not being clear enough. What I'm trying to ask is...." without lashing out at everyone who is trying to respond and understand.

 

Here's all he really had to say:

Let's say there's an ex-president who is really popular amongst a large segment of the population. Should that ex-president be indicted and convicted of a crime if it would result in a civil war?

My answer is 'yes' if the crime is serious and if the evidence supports it. We are a nation of laws and no one should be above them.
