And on a practical matter, one which his side is likely to lose? From lack of familiarity with weapons or military tactics, or just plain survival in a non-urban environment where gluten free soy latte wasn't available on every corner, this isn't a fight which would be fought on terms friendly to his side. Even if he considered his "enemy" to be the hardcore evangelical Westboro Baptist and the "Alt Right" marcher folks who are basically American taliban then they'd still probably find it a fight they couldn't win. Hell we've been fighting their equivalent in Afghanistan for 17 years and still can't beat them.
Doesn't matter. Even after you won you'd all turn on each other anyway. You guys only have one gear: identify "the other" and exterminate. When you can't find "the other" you will just create a new "other."

It's always important to read between the lines when looking at poll numbers or any other statistics. Sure, 72% of this sample self-identifies as Republican AND thinks Trump is a good role model for children. But that probably means the number of people identifying as Republicans is in freefall. Pretty soon they really will be the party of the worst third of America.

Who here has called for the deaths of millions of Democrats? If they have they are just as sick. Ill agree that the Right has been demonizing liberals, but the flat hope that they all die in a violent war is very different. Has it really gotten to this point? I sure hope this is not popular.


I know of at least one poster who was willing to kill Americans if a voter fraud investigation resulted in Hillary becoming president. I'm aware of multiple Republican politicians who have called for 2nd amendment remedies. I'm aware of a recent death threat to cnn employees as well.

I'm not going to pretend to say that no one on the left has such impure thoughts but you'd have to be a friggen moron or hermit to think we haven't already been "at this point".

Calling for the deaths of individuals is bad no doubt. The Right has been in crazy land for a long time. I would also add that those on the Right kill far more people than those on the left for political reasons. At this point was more about the Left going down the same path. Further, I don't know that I have ever seen someone on here who is on the Right saying he wished all of those on the Left would die in a violent war. I assure you I would have no problem calling out something like that said by anyone.

Oh now who really cares? I mean I'm sure I can protect my family and I will buy plenty of popcorn to watch all these people wipe each other out. After all we can cut down on the surplus population. If you folks be like to die, hurry up and get on with it. Hey, I'm environmentally friendly!

That's why I secretly hope for a violent civil war.

There is no compromise with this disgusting GOP filth. They think they're "Americans," but they're hardly human beings. They're space-trash alien-invader filth.

How could Trump POSSIBLY be a good role model for children?! All the names you could call him -- like "disgusting pig" or "traitorous sociopathic scum" fall short of adequate description.
You wouldn't last one second in a civil war against rednecks who actually practice shooting every day in the woods and have prepped in the wilderness begging for something like an apocalypse to happen. Liberals would die the first time a truck missed a shipment to Whole Foods in the city and kill each other for resources before they even got to the remote areas where conservatives live. Also you underestimate how many people in the military would love for this happen. Hopefully you get your wish soon.

I bet you would be surprised to see how quickly those liberals could come up with something. The propensity of people to come up with ways to kill each other is unrivaled in nature.

Are you high? 90%+ of the US population would die of dehydration and starvation inside a week, regardless of political leanings or physical locales. Don't get the impression that because some people practice shooting in the woods that they'll suddenly be prepped for an apocalypse-level event.

Hopefully eh?

I just thought I'd point out that the liberal on page 1 wasn't the only one actively hoping for mass deaths.

In a world where bullets are currency, who do you think that last 10% will be to survive? Sure as hell ain't going to be city folk without the internet hence proving my point. Practicing shooting is a dam good start to hunting your own food or defending yourself. These are tools you will need to survive an apocalypse. I feel that if there was a nuke that hit my metro area, I'd be very well prepared to survive. Bring it on NK or Russia or whoever. If any liberals in urban environments survive, I bet they will be begging country folk to help them since they will have access to clean water and meat.

Yes, if he wants it hopefully he gets what he wishes for (thinking his side will slaughter the other) and consequently get pimp-slapped back to oblivion for thinking such a stupid thing. To reiterate - one side is prepared, the other isn't and from what I've seen in the country, many conservatives are itching for a fight. If the right ever riots it's not going to be pretty. I think one of the main things keeping them from doing this is their respect for authority/military/law enforcement. However, if the left uses authority to persecute the right (e.g. banning all guns), I don't even want to imagine what will happen since they are mostly armed. If you think about it, a town of 10,000's milita could easily overtake any police station and even state police if they were all armed and united. And 10,000 isn't a lot of people. Hell, look at the Baltimore riots if you need a reminder of lawlessness and that was over a small incident caused by 100 (mostly teenagers). It would get ugly and bonzai would probably realize how stupid his wish was.

First, do you really hope the person gets his wish soon? Really?

2nd, are you under the impression that cities do not have guns?

Your fantasy that your nutter heroes will somehow overthrow the government is duly noted.

There won't be a civil war though. However, we may well see an increase in politically motivated violence. Which if past history is an indication will come mostly from the right. Like you said, they're well armed and obsessed with murdering people.

A quarter of Republicans realize it is dangerous to expose their children to Trump. Can you believe, he'll be dating them soon!

I would not have expected that high of a percentage to be aware that it's wrong that Trump likes young girls. Jim Jones had 900 people drink the coolaid and only a couple people faked it. Certainly not 25% of them.

Those responding have been civil. I don’t think it takes a Sun Tzu to realize that a field of battle isn’t the ideal conflict scenario for urban liberals given their relevant skill sets. It would be like the rednecks wishing for a fight with the weapon of choice being knowledge of 3rd wave feminism.

Those "responding" responded in ill faith. There is that.

All warfare is based on deception. Field of battle indeed. Dont look directly into the sun, it'll burn your eyes out
