- myko 10mo agoit is it has been one since we, collectively, failed to make trump pay the price for his insurrection attempt
- yongjik 10mo agoToday, when Trump's goons kill a man you see it on the news. When it becomes a war, your side will drop bombs, burn houses, and kill people every day. And you will cheer them on. Because the alternative is defeat and death. War is a terrible thing, and Trump is steering America toward it.
- JKCalhoun 10mo agoIn the U.S. Civil War several states joined together to break from the nation. I'm not seeing anything like that here. I am seeing a cold civil war with Pacific states banding together for health initiatives. And states gerrymandering their districts prompting other states to then gerrymander theirs in response. That kind of cold civil war. Minnesota now calling up their state's national guard is the first sign I see of the cold civil war warming up.
- B1FIDO 10mo agoThe US Civil War was along territorial lines, of course, and "Electric Boogaloo" will defy those clear delineations. I believe we are seeing more of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partisan_(military) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partisan_(military) type situation. In rural areas, it may be the case that small towns and regions could be "on one side" or another, but obviously we see that in major urban centers, all different sides are mixed together, territorially speaking, and so the conflicts and "front lines" just sort of spill into the streets without a lot of uniforms or phalanxes or "us vs. them" delineation.
