    Yeah yeah, okay. I’ve heard the civil war shit about as much times I’ve heard “WE ARE STARTING A REVOLUTION!”.

    Both haven’t started in any earnest and honest fashion because both sides are too comfortable in their armchairs. It’s just internet shit-flinging for the most of it.

      The cons have all the power at the moment. If anything, they are going to ratchet up violence on normal Americans via things like ICE.

      It’s hard to tell what we’re closer to: civil war or the rapture. They’re always on about one or the other. And it’s always the same weirdos spouting it.
