A society is always about 3 days of hunger away from a violent revolution. Start your clocks.

    This administration needs to be concerned about what happens when you have millions of people with nothing to lose anymore.

          Totally. But they have been begging for “Civil War”. Like it’s some Hero’s Journey and people won’t die. It’s so short sided and dumb I can’t believe they actually believe it’s for the better.

            You can only get your civil war if there are two clear sides, divisible by geography and cultural lines.

            When you just have a widespread, starving population, you get mobs and mass riots and government leadership dragged out of their homes and offices.

            I am not sure at all what their game is. I know they want the chaos but surely they can’t be so dumb that they think this will… oh yeah, lol caught myself there. They’re that dumb.

              DT is probably just thinking back fondly of his last visit to North Korea.

              “Hey, what if I did that?!”
