Look up the Oathkeepers if you think the Right Wing Extremism has no teeth.

everybody knows the violent whites have weapons and will kill people. They are terrorists. What they dont have is the ability to wage a civil war. I mean Los Angeles alone has 9000 cops. Ignore any actual military how are they gonna step into this shit? The traffic will scare them away.

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.

Yeah, isn't weird that, despite what the MAGAs say, we've never seen antifa or any leftist protestors threaten a violent civil war if they lose? While the only ones actually threatening a violent civil war if they don't get their way are the MAGAs.

The problem with that is that many of the military feel much the same way...as do many, many cops as well as the leadership of both groups.

I've seen more than a couple of news stories about sheriffs who have stated they will refuse to obey gun control laws...just as an example. Does that mean either group would support a right-wing civil war? Nope...but...

Oh they have teeth all right, but if the vast majority of US Citizens will go along with them is a different question entirely. I do wonder If the Oathkeepers actually read the US Constitution they claim that they will uphold. Also if they have studied the period when the Puritans held control of both England under Cromwell and the Mass Bay Colony as well?

The most answer to both questions is a very likely that they didn't.

The goal of a terrorist would be to effect change. Not just violence for the sake of violence. And to do so from the safety of anonymity. Soft targets. Hitting the "other". As an organization they'd have inside knowledge of how law enforcement operates, how they acquire information and track people. Ergo they'd be best equipped to evade detection and tracking. They'd believe they can operate.

To example how they might think... It it well known that the "other" lives in cities. And if Democrats cannot protect their own, and prevent unrest... maybe Democrats will suffer for it. So hit city infrastructures. Food, Water, Electricity, Gas. Hell, take out simple gas stations and watch as cities congest and endure a lack of mobility. Let Democrats deal with riots in their streets.

Prime for separation. Get people agitated enough and then push for secession. Red States get to go their merry way, "or else". And with violent acts and retaliations there would be no room for a middle ground. No room for calmer heads to prevail. Republicans would be demanding "freedom" and Democrats would be demanding they GTFO. The actions of "both sides" would quickly become driven by hatred, not logic or reason.

You tell us... Los Angeles has so many cops! Man, if you are lauding our size and strength... then you know nothing of how nations fall. These factors... our military, our police... they do not prevent terrorism. If they did, we would have won the war on terror. Victory cannot be achieved through strength of arms alone. Our strengths will be side stepped, our weaknesses exploited. We are very much vulnerable, especially with a divided government that cannot function.

The United States is already divided... radicals are clamoring for action... it seems nothing will unite us. Ergo, it is only a matter of time until we violently fracture.

Well I for one would support said Sheriffs and Police who refuse to support any laws that they have a reasonable belief that they are Unconstitutional. This I can get behind while starting the next Civil War I will not.

I noticed that real quick back when Bill Clinton was President.

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

While threats of violence should be taken seriously, I have to think the majority of these people pose zero threat except to themselves...

If this is their best, who actually worked up the effort to get out and protest, I'd imagine the ones hiding behind their keyboards and making threats of civil war can barely walk up the stairs of their parents' basement.

What'll really scare the bejeebers out of some of you is the number of elected Sheriffs who are Oathkeepers and who have sworn their allegiance to state laws and constitutions while rejecting the US Constitution. They feel they work for local and state authority only and do not recognize federal law.

The whole structure of the 'sheriff' needs to be reworked.

Yeah, that crowd aren't big fans of the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses in the 14a. Instead, they want a system where each county sheriff is a king who can ignore the Constitution as they see fit. Kinda weird of a group that considers themselves to be 'strict Constitutionalists' to be so hateful of the Constitution, but then again, that kind of mental delusion seems to be actually quite common.

Greenman just thinks that the liberal cuckold crybabies should STFU and take it, that's all.
Meh. It's just typical of the alt-right concern trolls here to try to find a way to argue that the left is just as bad as the right, and so that magically makes the right better. A purely emotional and tribalist argument.

‘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:

Such dumbshit people would be eliminated quickly and efficiently, as well, if they feel the need to take on the military. Decades of shooting at paper plates with their murder toys hasn't prepared them for the fever fantasies that keep them up at night.

Like most people, they interpret the constitution the way that fits their views.

If I had the power, I'd go back in time and bitch-slap the founding fathers for not laying things out in ways that are so subject to "interpretation."

I have tremendous difficulty accepting any interpretation of the Constitution with the goal of reinstating the monarchy. Be it one monarchy or many. Probably because the institution of monarchy was exactly what the Founding Fathers were fighting against, and they were very specific about that.

Exact same mentality as demonstrated in the article, with the exact same amount of truth in the words.

Not the same mentality in the least bit. What I am saying is that I am willing to give my life to uphold the oath I took to defend this country from all enemies, foreign or domestic. I may have decided that the USMC wasn't the best place for a sociopath to be but I take my oath to uphold our Constitution very seriously and still consider myself bound by that oath.

You don't know me enough to think that I am a chickenshit bitch like the people that are highlighted in the article. You must not know any sociopaths because we don't make idle threats.

They wanted representation in Parliament and if that had occurred I very much doubt that there would have been a war for American Independence, hell I even doubt that Canada would be a separate country today if that had happened.
