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.
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.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof
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.
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.
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.
