““If we jail Trump, get rid of Maga, end the electoral college, ban voter ID, censor free speech, we’ll save democracy,” says one meme in a QAnon channel on Telegram that depicts Biden in a Nazi uniform with a Hitler mustache”

Apparently they at least understand their opponent’s view .

    I put this on another post from another account, but I found it, and I’m going to paste it here:

    Do it! DO IT!! Shut up talking about it, and let’s get the civil war started!! Because I suspect it will be over before supper time.

    In reality all they’re going to do is talk about it, because they’re small weak little people. Look at the big bad Proud Boys. When faced with the consequences of jail, they cried like little girls and begged the judges to take pity on them. Only one defiantly yelled “TRUMP WON” on his way out is the courtroom, but that was even after he cried and groveled.

      Point the first: no. War is awful no matter how short or long it is, just no.

      Point the second: folks said the first American civil war was going to be short, too.

      In summary, no.

        I really cannot understand why people keep comparing current events to the American civil war. This will be nothing like that.

        It would look like a hybrid of the Irish troubles and the Rwandan genocide on a massive scale.

        Do you think it’s going to be easy to exterminate all the hillbilly terrorist cells that are supported by their local communities and sheriff’s departments?

          Certainly not if the federal government supports them…

      Might be a good time to arm up(unless you’re mentally ill in a way that will make you hurt yourself or make you hurt others before any actual conflict has begun). Just in case of course.

      Edit/Addendum: If you have kids, please get a gun case and please educate them about proper gun safety and how to properly check if there’s any ammunition in chamber, etc. In fact, might as well take a gun safety course yourself.

          Parity is important. Why did the Soviets need nukes? Why did France?

          The right sees the left as defenseless, because they see the left as the anti-gun crowd.

          I will give up my 2nd amendment rights at the same time as my neighbor up the street with the “stop the steal” flags.

            What would you do with the guns? What will they do with the guns?

            What is the envisioned game plan here?

              I like to put little holes in paper at 100 yards.

              In the fall I hunt squirrel and deer.

              That’s the sum of my game plan?

      Yep. Actual coup plotters don’t stand on street corners with signs yelling about it.
