The Civil War part two?

sportage

Just a thought....
Considering the intense hatred between the two political parties, republicans chanting to "lock em up" against their opponents, and democrats labeling Trump republicans as American traitors, I ask what would happen if one party actually proposed the idea of all out violence against their opponent?
The hate is already here.
We have people of all sorts of religious backgrounds currently running for and currently serving in congress.
And people of various sexual orientation currently running for and currently serving in congress.
That very mix which creates extreme hatred in people of intolerance and bigotry.
We've already witnessed the hate talk and the name calling, and this election has hardly yet begun.
Trump people chant LOCK HER UP against Hillary. Would they go as far as to chant KILLL HER, KILL HER if provoked?
Provoked by someone, oh say some Donald Trump extremist in the crowd?
Or possibly from Donald Trump himself should he feel threatened enough as this election process unfolds?
If it appeared to Donald Trump that his success was in question?
And maybe they already believe this?
Believe that the assured reelection of Donald Trump better have a backup plan.

And consider the democrats, feeling that Trump conducts traitorous acts and his people and his congress support traitorous activity with their support of Donald Trump.
And what do they usually do to traitors?

Could the anger and the hate become so intense to cause violence and the enacting of violence between the two parties?
After all, never have people been so divided.
And as that division widens so does the hate and intolerance intensify.
All it would take in one candidate up there speaking to his or her people to go as far as to suggest losing is not an option, and to be rejected at any cost.
Donald Trump already claims that elections can be "rigged" and "illegitimate".
Especially the elections that Donald Trump fears losing.
Donald Trump has already suggested should he lose in 2020, that result would be considered illegitimate.
And to make things worse, has suggested his people have the will and the power to correct any illegitimate election outcome.
Any election outcome that Donald Trump considers illegitimate.

So, how far exactly might we be from an all out civil war between the two parties?
A civil war of physical hate and physical violence?
It it possible?
Is it inevitable? Especially this time?
I can predict this election will be the most nastiest election in American history.
Once the two challengers have been chosen, down to one against one, this election will quickly become an all out war for survival.
Only one side will survive. And the losing side will consider their loss unacceptable.
So, the big question is, will the civil war of hate and violence emerge during the campaign, or after?
Because as intense as things are becoming, and will become, with one side warning that democracy itself is at stake while the opposing side warns this is all fake and illegitimate, how does this end?
Either Donald Trump will lose and as Trump has stated that option is not an option, or....
Donald Trump will win, and the losing side believing they have an justified patriotic duty to protect democracy.
Either way, this appears to be heading for a political civil war of hate and violence.
I don't see any other way, considering the intense division.

Problem is you are getting there one idiotic tweet and rally at a time, no one really remembers where the red line was cause it is all one big red football field.
If I was in an American democrat shoe I'd probably go to one of Trumps rallies and try to set that chant off... You know, to draw the line now, instead of later.
 
Leftists are too lazy. It is a big jump to go form whining on the internet to war. I think we're safe from civil war for some time, that'd mean liberals would have to leave mom's basement. These are people full of excuses of why they can't achieve, I don't see them changing the world through force.

You might not want to brag when Trump supporters have developed a reputation for violence... say, hitting protesters with cars or mailing bombs to journalists and politicians. In some cases encouraged by Trump's own tacit approval of roughing up his political opponents.

It is not time to wage war and hopefully will never be but you make the mistake of pretending that the same character in Americans that removed the last tyrant, King George is forever gone. I think you would be hiding under the bed crying if I have your measure.
 
We've already had a Civil War in this country so to say people have never been this divided before is misleading at best...

"Never" is a long time, but when in living memory has it been? No, not even in Nixon's day. The closest was back in the 60's with civil rights and the Vietnam war so you might have an argument there but this is a unique political and ideological divide as I can remember and that goes back further than most.

To that point, 2016 never ended. Social media has perpetuated and fueled that level of decorum, of lackthereof.

The human brain, for sanity's sake, needs respite from threats. Including political discussion or contact with "other" tribes. They need rest. Internet + Social Media + Smart Phones mean that your brains never stop reeling from the threat response.

Equally divided then. A tinderbox in need of just one spark.

That's a fair point. I just mean to show that we have been to the level of a Civil War before even without this huge media machine driving us apart. It's okay to call out problems but the OP presented it as if it were unprecedented.

I'll frame this way when Trump and followers take the side of Putin over their own country, what do you call them??
 
It would be the religious right that would start it if it happened. They are deluded into thinking that America is God's chosen Christian country. As if god a would gives two shits about America or any other country specifically.

It isn't laziness, it is efficiency. We sit back and laugh as non-leftists inevitably leave their metal penises in the back seat of their cars so their toddlers can find them and shoot their parents in the front seat. No fuss, no muss and don't have to worry about legal issues or someone attempting to make the case that non-leftists deserve to live.

I guess it is a matter of perspective, but I'd say the left has become much more violent than the right as of late. You guys act as if Nazism is rampant, but Nazis don't cause as much harm in a year as occurs in your average summer weekend in blue stronghold Chicago.
 
The right (Trump supporters) are far too pussified to ever actually fight. They are bleeders. They are pusses who haven't left the house in years. They also actually think they are the only ones who are armed. That's fucking laughable... This is the only weapons 99.9% of them will ever use unless they get real brave and decide to go shoot up a church of old black people, old muslims, or old jewish folks.

This isn't going to help them either:

This is all that limp wristed Russian cock suckers like Slow have in the troll farm basement and they fight over who gets to use it each day.

4th world shit hole...

your projecting is really just getting lazy and obvious at this point. Careful, or your borscht rations will be rescinded (again) like they were for OrroROroRoROOROOOOOs.

actual demographic data disagrees with the nonsense that fuels your pudding brain.

I bet that a nuclear airblast detonated over your head would kill more people than your average summer weekend in blue stronghold Chicago. There's a pear for the apple to oranges argument you tried to make.

Funny then that only people saying that the left wants a civil war are RWNJs whining on the internet from their mom's basement.

It's kinda sad how you self-identify as a victim of the left's victimhood culture.

This dude is all over the place. In 1 post he's terrified of how many people violent leftists kill in Chicago a year, and in the next post in the the very same thread they are lazy and he can be a couch potato.

Typical idiot without a social life devoid of any common sense, brains or ability to think trying to troll us by being a keyboard warrior.

"Those lazy people are taking our jobs!", lol...

lol, not to mention filthy urban liberals are responsible for probably 80% of economic activity in this country, particularly anything to do with creativity and innovation. Filthy urban liberals are the only ones making sure this country is still a leader in something.

Side note, just took this dude off ignore, can't believe how much of his life he's still wasting crying into the void about how unfair everyone is to dear leader Dolan Trump.
