Isn't that what's being threatened?
Yes, it is what's being threatened.
(except the arrest of illegals. no one is actually planning to do that, on either side).
And I don't see people taking up arms, so much as taking up ballots.
Any violence that is perpetrated will be viewed as a terrorist act, and the police will handle it.
I think talk of impending civil war is juvenile.
I agree.
Ya right seen what they do to antifa? The bike lock to the head guy got nothing. The people who attacked the proud boys got nothing and the PROUD BOYS ended up in jail for 4 years. The people who attacked Kyle? Nothing.
BLM who fire bombed police cars in NYC? Nothing. Same with all the leftist insurrectionists at Trump's inauguration.
I wouldn't fight in a Civil War because short of an invasion by a foreign force what is there to fight over? We have already seen Civil War happening on the streets where citizens have fought against the Government and they have all Lost BUT depending on which side you are on the "Losers" are treated either harshly or not at all.
Case in point. The Jan6th mob has been treated harshly with most being arrested, charged and some sent to prison for years. The antifa mobs fought in the streets night after night for the same reason that the Jan6th mob bum rushed the Capital. Both groups were displeased with the Government.
The Jan6th guys were locked up.
Did any Antifa members get arrested, charged and tossed in prison?
You break some windows you go to prison. You destroy public and private property, murder and maim to the tune of Billons of dollars in damages and.......... nothing happens.
It all depends on which side you are on as to how you are portrayed and dealt with when the dust settles.
Would I fight in a Civil War? Sadly it would be for nothing but to end your future.
Last count, I think about 25 americans died in the civil unrest of 2020, and how many of us were killed in 9/11? How much damage was done, economically and physically, when the twin towers were exploded?
According to the stats, the LEFT owns all the guns? What's all this complaining about insisting on 2A rights, then?
(BTW, the left isn't gang bangers and street warriors and drug kings. That's a group of apolitical thugs).
Your post is an extremely warped view of reality in the United States.
I have to ask, are you on drugs? well over 20K people have been murdered each year from 2020-2022 - in fact this year plausibly could see 30K. According to the FBI, we can place ALMOST ALL of the purps on the 'left'. I noticed you did not address the televised beatings and burnings.
and no, according to the stats the 'right', the ones you call deplorable, own all the guns - legally. If I am on the right as you imply, I will simply state that 'we' dont run around just shooting people.
where do you live? just give us the town name and we will demonstrate by pulling up the murder reports for JUST the last 7 days to prove the point. Heck in my town we have a thread on 5 people being murdered in 24 hours and we hit that mark a couple times within the life of the thread.
this statement you made here:

indicates 1 of 2 possible things: you are trolling us or you have an uneducated naive view of the world bordering on criminality..
If you believe your own schitck, I got news for you, the world you think you live in does not exist and has not for quite some time.
Or alternatively, from only your posts it appears you are a white woman. Take a walk thru chicago on the weekend or go stand on NYC subway platforms along lex or harlem lines and report back how it went.
Those are not boogeymen 'trump voters'
ps: according to the people whose side you are on, your use of the word 'thug' makes you a white racist suburban female. elections have consequences.
So you're telling me that if the shoe were on the other foot and some radical conservative group was banning abortion completely, banning gay marriage, banning books, ending all environmental protection, arresting illegals, etc.. that the left would not consider taking up arms?
That's exactly what radical conservative groups are doing.
And no, opponents are not taking up arms. They are going to the polls in droves. Because that's how we do things in this country. All these so-called "patriots" should know that.
So you're telling me that if the shoe were on the other foot and some radical conservative group was banning abortion completely, banning gay marriage, banning books, ending all environmental protection, arresting illegals, etc.. that the left would not consider taking up arms?
Yup, that's what I'm telling you. That stuff is happening already, but we recognize that the answer needs to be political and legal, not physical combat.

Street warriors protecting gang land turf are not "on the left".
They're apolitical.
Do you see them lining up at the polls on election day? No, you do not. They're a part of the half of our country that isn't political, and doesn't vote.
