‘Nothing Less Than a Civil War’: These White Voters on the Far Right See Doom Without Trump (Published 2019)

Deeply conservative, they organize online and outside the Republican Party apparatus, engaging in more explicit versions of the chest-beating seen at the president’s rallies.

‘Nothing Less Than a Civil War’: These White Voters on the Far Right See Doom Without Trump

In addition to all the other bullshit in the article, it's finished with this:

Mark Villalta said he had been stockpiling firearms, in case Mr. Trump’s re-election is not successful.

“Nothing less than a civil war would happen,” Mr. Villalta said, his right hand reaching for a holstered handgun. “I don’t believe in violence, but I’ll do what I got to do.”

‘Nothing Less Than a Civil War’: These White Voters on the Far Right See Doom Without Trump

In addition to all the other bullshit in the article, it's finished with this:

If I had the money and didn't live in a HUB apartment I would stock up on some firearms and ammo just in case the Alt-Right and Far-Right decides to launch The 2nd American Civil War.

Notice how both of them are the only ones predicting civil war if Trump loses.

 

[BUTCH1]

Yea, I've posted in a few threads that if Trump loses it will get very, very ugly. Of course dip-shit would never admit to a fair defeat at the polls, he will whip up these morons by claiming illegals "stole" the election. WTF that idiot would do with his handgun is unknown, start shooting anything that's not white?.

It's the Mad Orange Brain Eating Virus. It needs to be eradicated, like Smallpox

 

[BoomerD]

That kind of shit is the true "Trump Dysfunction Syndrome."

 

[ch33zw1z]

Yes, I agree. This type of rhetoric, supported by the president himself, is very dangerous. It's the same way for all the messages and offhand remarks that encourage his devoted cult members to view their fellow american's as enemies.

Trump's 'Civil War' Tweet Is Grounds for Impeachment: Harvard Law Professor

"This tweet is itself an independent basis for impeachment - a sitting president threatening civil war if Congress exercises its constitutionally authorized power," Harvard's John Coates wrote on Twitter.

The far right is getting angrier and (slightly) more numerous everywhere, right across the globe.

I don't believe it's going to be a civil war, but any successor to Trump is probably going to have to deal with some sort of upsurge in murderous right-wing terrorism and just plain everyday racist criminal thuggery. What bothers me is how far it might permeate into the parts of the state that are supposed to address such criminality.

 

[KMFJD]

Could it be just good (?) old fashioned fear mongering to sell papers? Giving a few useful idiots a voice?

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

There's always idiots trying to scream loud enough to make someone notice them. I blame the NYT for giving them a bigger platform and ratcheting up the drama. Arizona is NOT a battleground. Mojave county has zero impact on the State other than to reinforce Maricopa county which already controls the State making it a dyed in the wool red state.

A civil war?

What are they going to do? I don't take any of their statements seriously.

 

[sdifox]

I would actually like to see these idiots go up against us army.

A civil war?

A lot of impotent wailing IMO.

I could see an uptick in rw extremist criminality and scattered attacks, but I'd hope a real AG and FBI would also go after them.

 

[Commodus]

I'm with Bitek -- I'm not so much worried about Trump rallying opposition as I am about racists and other extremists using a Trump defeat as a "last hurrah" for violence before responsible government comes back.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

What y'all need to be worried about is the proliferation of orange sucking asswipes within local governments and public safety organizations that would be more than willing to break with law and order norms and support an uprising. There are a significant number of elected Sheriffs for example that rational citizens should fear will defect.

 

[cytg111]

They will call it a civill war you will call them domestic terrorists.
It could have long lasting consequences .. I wouldnt meh it.

 

[Jaskalas]

That's not how the world works. Their aim would be to turn the United States into Afghanistan. That is not done by squaring off against an army. It is done through terrorism. By hitting supplies and causing further civil unrest. Breaking us into tribal fragments long before people stand their ground in open warfare. It is the violence, the fear, and the abject terror that they want to cause. And there will be no denying them that if this is what what they truly want.

 

[kage69]

Yeah, I've heard this before, the Only My Guy Can Win affliction, where Trump is also above the law. Banana repuglican hallucinations are things to pity, not fear.

Tough shit morons. You want to become the right wing terrorists you've been denying exist while committing suicide in the process? Have at it. I won't complain about so much idiocy removing itself from the gene pool. Eat a bullet/bomb or fuck off to Russia, either way good fucking riddance to you treasonous asshats.

 

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Imagine rogue Sheriffs deputizing hundreds of these knuckleheads in the OP, thus making their hateful acts 'legitimate'.

And remember, a lot of them are already in groups like the National Guard and State Police. If they decide to defect, it could get real ugly real quick.

And let's not forget the war criminals who have been elevated to campaign mouthpieces.

Pffft, they felt the same way when the brown man was in charge.

Armchair warriors FTW.

Just deport them all to Siberia like Stalin!

This is pretty much it.

These shit stains don't want me to fight then, I would hunt them down like the trash they are.

 

[BonzaiDuck]

Well, damn! I don't intend to keep a high profile, so I don't much incline to even "semi-auto". But maybe I should start shopping for that .458 Magnum Weatherby Dangerous Game ("Elephant") bolt-action I've coveted for so long. And maybe a good pump-action shot-gun.

Things can't get much worse than waking up every day to see that slug on the TEE-VEE and becoming so nauseous that you push away a full 'Murican breakfast with biscuits and sausage gravy on the side. I actually got sick twice this morning: generally over Trump, and then again over the college admissions scandal and the eye-opener of how the Ivy Leagues were never originally intended to serve "regular 'Muricans".

What's the world comin' to? "Who woulda imagined our Texas children walkin' down the street with bones in their noses and green hair?!" Or MAGA hats and "Latinos for Trump" shirts?!

 

[VRAMdemon]

People support and enable dictators because they are afraid - they fear being imprisoned, overrun by the "other" or killed etc. Trump wields tremendous power, but the man himself is a pussy. These followers of Trump are being conned and they don't realize it or just don't care.

That's a Winchester, not a Weatherby. But either is overkill for terrorists, whereas that 12 gauge will do the job just fine. Big bore rifle kick makes shotgun recoil seem tame too. I'd skip that purchase if I were you. Your wallet, shoulder, neck and non-detached retina will all thank you.

Law enforcement and National Guard will take care of it should the idiots get froggy. They won't really need any assistance handling the newly armed arm chair warriors dumb enough to commit armed sedition and treason.
