If the facts don’t match my feelings, we should do a civil war!

some_guy ,

Why are there no repercussions for shit like this? We’ve just given up holding them accountable, haven’t we.

aesthelete ,

To the point where nobody discussed at all that immunity for the President doesn’t apply if they don’t have a complicit Congress. We just take it as a given that no President will be impeached and removed for their actions, because no matter how unhinged Trump acts, Congress kowtows to him.

They have been screaming that shit ever since obama and they still haven’t done shit.

Suggesting that a war should be waged against the democratically-elected government of the United States seems… Well, it seems kinda treason-y to me. Just a smidge.

hperrin ,

Hey now, treason is very specifically defined in the constitution. Oh and yeah, that’s the constitutional definition. This is treason.

henfredemars ,

To be fair, we have been very lenient with traitors lately. To the surprise of no one, treason becomes increasingly popular.

This is why we should have met treason aggressively and swiftly from the beginning.

SCOTUS allows treason if it’s an official act peculiar only to Trump.

Protoknuckles ,

Republicans can have a little treason. As a treat.

Lately? We have been lenient since the last civil war!

We’ve been very lenient with traitors since 1865.

Hey treason is when Democrats do anything I don’t like which means anything

Catma ,

Its only real treason if it comes from the Treasony region of France. Otherwise its just called being a rebel.

Yeah this kinda does seem like it might cross the line and be actionable

Isn’t this sedition, not treason?

But you need either that person or two witnesses to admit to it in a court in order to convict.

Chainweasel ,

I miss when that mattered…

jaybone ,

For the original civil war there was actual geographic separation. Now they can only win through gerrymandering so I’m not sure how they envision the logistics of such a war playing out. Seems more like you would have to resort to what most people would call domestic terrorism.

Organichedgehog ,

Lemmy users decry this while almost constantly demonizing all right-wingers as soulless racist misogynists. Anytime I suggest that right wingers might be more complex than a caricature of a 1960s villain, it goes over like a lead balloon.

The rhetoric is exactly as divisive on both sides and leads directly to politicians feeling comfortable calling for a civil war. It all feeds into the frenzy.

They have yet to display any complexity other than “fuck the libs.”

Bring it, ya fat geezer.

Absolutely, bring it. These LARPer pussies need to learn a lesson, one they’re not getting from video games, firearm manufacturers, and their imbecile Discord blabberings. So funny to think that THEY think that everyone but them is quaking in fear of their ‘civil war’ talk and vague threats of violence. Nobody’s afraid of them at all, nobody respects them at all, and that’s not going to change, period.

shalafi ,

I’ve said it before, underestimate these people at your own risk. You see the fat losers because people post funny pics. You don’t see what I’ve seen.

The only reason they’re not a threat today is that no one voice has called them together, organized. If Trump wins you’ll see that organization bubble up over time.

He’s bringing it, just wait right there. Hang on. Be there in a sec- oh goldurn it, ran out of charge.

NotAnonymousAtAll ,

Biden should give an executive order to lock this guy up for treason.

When people complain about that, point to the SCOTUS decision that the president can do whatever the fuck he wants without legal repercussions.

If any of the people who complain even vaguely hint at violence in reaction to this, give an order to lock them up for treason, too.

Keep this cycle going until the last grunt has understood that this type of behavior will not stand.

Once all the people willing to call for violence are locked up, use the same reasoning to disband the current SCOTUS and replace it with something that is not an embarrassment for a modern democracy, with a strong recommendation to immediately renounce the ruling that made all of that legal.

By the time the dust has settled Biden will be too old to be persecuted for any of that anyway.

I know none of this will happen, writing it out just as a happy little fantasy.

Leate_Wonceslace ,

I’d prefer he actually just had them assassinated, but that might be better.

modifier ,

But Lang’s comments came after numerous polls have shown sizable portions of Americans, particularly Republican voters, sympathizing with the state lawmaker’s message.

The funny thing about civil war is that you only need one side to believe in it at first.

If war broke out this coward would hightail it to safety so fast his heart would stop.

raynethackery ,

So why isn’t he under arrest for sedition?

IHeartBadCode ,

In the event there is one, I expect nothing less than Senator George Lang to be right there on the front lines leading the charge.

Last Civil war took 2% of the entire US population with it. And that was during muskets and cannons. So I'm pretty sure Senator George Lang wouldn't mind being one of the 7 million people (if we're that lucky to keep that number that low) that a second Civil War would inevitably kill.

All these blow hards cry war, but would start running with shit in their pants when the shelling starts. And looking at the turkey Senator George Lang is, I doubt man could run more than ten feet before being winded. A better title would be "Poster child for heart disease coward wouldn't mind if a lot of other people killed each other so he could feel better about being unable to see his cornichon sized penis."

Fuck this cunt and any other like him that call for war and clearly have zero intent or ability to actually fight in one. If you aren't wanting peace in your own country, you should see your dumb ass out.
