In America, talk turns to something unspoken for 150 years: Civil war

[rwl1955]

And the right way of preparing is posting online, in a public forum, saying you are preparing for a war?

Great idea.

Yup, they already know where I live and work and my opinions. The govt. has been tracking me everyday since NOV. 1986. Security clearance for 32 years, 23 years in the Military and my views are well known, don't f*** with me and I won't f*** with you Broccoli. As I have stated above I am doing a public service by warning these snowflakes that they are trolling dangerous waters. After 8 years of Obama I didn't think it could get any worse but with the election of Trump the SJW's have lost it. I'M not the one threatening my fellow citizens, I'M merely warning them of the consequences of their potential actions. Walking away and laying low isn't working anymore.

I said this before in other threads on this topic. I don’t think a full blown war will ever happen until the economy collapses. Right now too many ppl are doing well. You need enough ppl who are hurting and feel like they have little to loose. Without this element, all you get are sporadic Furgasons and LA riots. We are definitely in a political civil war right now. It needs an economic collapse for it to become a shooting war.

I don't see bread lines.

I dont see 70% taxation. Maybe when you add up all the taxes (excise, home, income...) it adds up to that, but the majority of people say they dont like it and move on.

Gun confiscation - Besides a group of people during Katrina, I haven't seen this. Where is this happening?

I think if someone proposed full blown gun confiscation, you might have a few gun owners shoot people, but you wont have groups organizing as militias and fighting the government to establish a new government. These groups wouldn't accomplish anything without backing from powerful people. Business is good now, who will back them?

You are not paying attention to what is happening in California my friend. Everybody that registered there firearms are having them confiscated by the DOJ going door to door. I didn’t say 70% taxation was happening now. If these socialists get there way in as little as 2 years from now and all this stuff happens, what do you think will happen? This country isn’t going to last another 30 years without some sort of armed conflict, no matter how big or small. You would be foolish to think otherwise and at the very least prepare for it.

I liked the SAW, used to run the qual range for SAW's, M60's and the M240B's when we finally got them. Now talk about a POS, the M60. I hated that thing, to many parts and way outdated. Afetr my first field exercise/AT I ended up humping the 60 because all the gunners ended up going down in the 90 deg, humid weather. After we got back from the field I was cleaning the damn thing and when I went to put it back together couldn't find the little rounded part that went over the spring for the trigger group. My Sqd. Leader made me low crawl around the blacktop looking for the damn thing while everyone else was turning in weapons. Everyone was pissed because we couldn't get released until I turned in the 60 and low and behold my Sqd Ldr looks down and there it is, on a piece of asphalt I covered 10 times. He dropped it there, he just wanted to f*** with me. Welcome to the Army PFC.

Wow, I loved the 60!!!!!haha!! I bet we can agree that the 240bravo is the best medium machine gun we have ever had.

 

[enbloc]

Well..? Is she???

 

[SgtHal75]

I cant keep track of every state and gave up on keeping track of what happens in California.

Isn't Cali confiscating guns from guys that have felonies on their records and should have turned their guns in but didnt?

Or is Cali going after regular law abiding gun owners that didnt commit any crimes?

Dude, u asked where is it happening and I gave u an example. Don’t come back with a lazy excuse that u don’t have the time to look at other states and what’s going on. Do a simple google and YouTube search u will find it. This is only the beginning, the left isn’t just pandering anymore, they are full blown communists looking to completely destroy this country, with the help of the elite class as well.

Good points bricolli. But don’t hurt the feelings of these keyboard tough guy civil war fighters.

Great idea.

You are putting a ton of shit into peoples mouths with your replies you do realize this correct? Try reading the replies and have you brain play catch up to your typing fingers...Just helping you out, if thats not the case go back and re read the thread.

Geltzer urged both major parties to require their electoral college voters to pledge to respect the outcome of the election, and suggested that it might be necessary to ask the secretary of defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to reaffirm their loyalty to the Constitution over Trump.

loyal to the Constitution hey? you mean the same piece of paper you idiots continuously ignore?

"The way Mr. Trump and his defenders are behaving, it's not absurd to imagine serious social unrest," Reich wrote in the Baltimore Sun. "That's how low he's taken us."

imagine if we acted like the liberals have already been?

Violence is most likely to occur, Hameiri added, when political leaders use "dehumanizing language" to describe their opponents.

mysoginist, racist, homophobic, blah blah blah?

 

[HARRYM]

With the all out assault on Trump and US(white conservatives, gunowners, capitalists, etc.) and the Dems tacking hard left conflict is inevitable IMHO. The Leftists are spoiling for a fight, encouraging violence and branding anyone who isn't like them a violent racist, homophobe, bigot, etc. They are still crazed with anger and hatred for their devastating loss and actually believe the whole Russian collusion hoax. They believe WE stole the election from them and they want payback NOW! Before I was banned from posting comments on the Boston Globe I tried to explain to them that attacking heavily armed fellow citizens was a fools mission but they don't care. They will never be convinced they LOST the election fair and square so they don't recognize President Trump and hate us more than you can imagine. It's gonna get ugly folks.

"At a moment when the country has never seemed angrier, two political commentators from opposite sides of the divide concurred last week on one point, nearly unthinkable until recently: The country is on the verge of "civil war."

First came former U.S. attorney Joseph diGenova, a Fox News regular and ally of President Trump. "We are in a civil war," he said. "The suggestion that there's ever going to be civil discourse in this country for the foreseeable future is over. . . . It's going to be total war."


The next day, Nicolle Wallace, a former Republican operative turned MSNBC commentator and Trump critic, played a clip of diGenova's commentary on her show and agreed with him - although she placed the blame squarely on the president.

Trump, she said, "greenlit a war in this country around race. And if you think about the most dangerous thing he's done, that might be it."

With the report by special counsel Robert Mueller reportedly nearly complete, impeachment talk in the air and the 2020 presidential election ramping up, fears that once existed only in fiction or the fevered dreams of conspiracy theorists have become a regular part of the political debate. These days, there's talk of violence, mayhem and, increasingly, civil war.

A tumultuous couple of weeks in American politics seem to have raised the rhetorical flourishes to a new level and also brought a troubling question to the surface: At what point does all the alarmist talk of civil war actually increase the prospect of violence, riots or domestic terrorism?

Speaking to conservative pundit Laura Ingraham, diGenova summed up his best advice to friends: "I vote, and I buy guns. And that's what you should do."

Ya....folks will rise up and fight in a Civil War only if there is nothing good on cable that night.......

"Trump greenlit the war". Really? Sorry dear, I think it all started with the Beer Summit.

The beer summit? A blast from the past. I think the beer summit was a nothing burger.

 

[DispositionMatrix]

From the article:

More than 40 percent of Democrats described such a conflict as "likely," compared with about 25 percent of Republicans. The company partnered with Survey Sampling International to conduct the nationally representative poll.

I would not have guessed those numbers.

Having most of my clients being ma**h***s, I can tell you that the limp wristed man bun wearing lib tards are all in on violence.

I figure my 10 year old son can kick the shit out of any 10 of them. But then we have to take care of the rest of them.

 

[Lip]

Democrats are our enemy. I dont believe in this inclusion bs. They vote anti 2a, they wish to restrict our rights.

 

[Dadstoys]

Most of these mutts are so far removed from reality it's a joke.
If you think you are some kind of "Warrior " because you cheap shot someone from a covering crowd with a bike lock and run off like a pussy, the wake up call should it get real is going to be epic.
Everyone is a gangster till it's time to do gangster shit.

 

[SpaceCritter]

There will not be a civil war.

What are we going to fight about?
Who will fund it?

1. Who's in charge. They want to be.
2. Their side is already being funded amply by sundry and assorted interests who want to be the #1.

...and their side is already instigating and committing (at this point relatively low-grade) violence to back it up, while the Powers That Be generally look the other way, or blame it on someone else.

I fn loved the pig. I felt like I got another art 15. When they took it away. You just had to know how to handle it. Best light mg ever.

I just picked up a Ginuwine colt model 1860 as well as a real nice model 1840 Calvary sword. You boys just point me to where Johnny Rebb is and I’ll start burn’in powder.

Keep an eye on France. Also the economy.

Keep an eye on Europe as a whole and Israel.

I don't see bread lines.

The EBT is the modern, electronic equivalent of the bread lines. I think it is also referred to as "WIC".

There won't be a civil war, but we are going to see increased violence if Trump gets reelected.
The left keeps trying to make this a race issue. It really is not. Trump was elected because people who play by the rules, work hard and save money, pay their bills, support their own children and save for retirement, are sick and tired of seeing increasing numbers of people enjoy an ever improving lifestyle, for sitting on their ass.
I just did my 2018 taxes, and even with my reduced Trump tax rate, my total tax liability was just over 53k, not including what the state took and town needed in property taxes.
I served right out of highschool, wake up everyday by 04:30 and work my ass off to provide for my family and provide good jobs for our employees. AOC can kiss my ass when she talks about fair share. How about we encourage people to contribute their fair share supporting themselves and their children.

Trump was elected because people like me are sick of working hard to provide for people who will not. And now they want more. Fair share my ass.

So, unless one side gets backing from another government

Bingo. Vlad is going to Vlad, he sees destruction of the US as his mission.

 

[Beretta92FS]

Not going to happen anytime soon.

Unspoken by whom? It's been too long. Us vs liberals? Lols.

Good point.

Keep an eye on France. Also the economy.

I keep saying it in these threads, but all the ingredients are already in the bowl save one, a massive recession. That’s coming soon.

France is a preview. The working class has had enough over there.

 

[HorizontalHunter]

Keep an eye on France. Also the economy.

One of the things I find the most fascinating/disappointing is the fact that large protests have been going on for four months now but the major international news coverage is nonexistent.

Thanks to 10thSSFD for keeping that thread going. (France Building Barricades Again "Gilets Jaunes")
