Do the MAGATs get that a successful coup by Trump means an instant civil war?

[Girard442]

Can they be so stupid they don't realize that -- or are they even so stupid they think that would be somehow a good thing?

[Binkie The Clown]

1. Historically, civil wars are the bloddiest and most brutal of all wars.

Military leaders know that, and hopefully have the good sense to stop it before it begins.

[Bettie]

2. They figure that they have all the guns

and that they can kill us all because, in their addled minds, the cops and the military are on their side and will gleefully join in the bloodbath.

3. I have news for the MAGAts, gun nuts, proud boiz, etc...

...and it ain't good.

[budkin]

4. They want one

Which is why they are trying so hard.

[KentuckyWoman]

5. They think civil war will help Jesus come back.

I know that culture better than I'd like to. They think Trump is here to usher in the return of Jesus. Seriously. Because, you know, the Son of the Lord Almighty doesn't have enough power to go anywhere he wants. He needs the help of Trumpers.

[Blaukraut]

6. Does it, though?

More likely scenario: protests and marches for a couple of months, until interest wanes. Blue states won't do anything that would be considered unconstitutional, so it would be business as usual and hoping and planning for 2022 and 2024.

7. A Civil War with the Gravy Seals will be over as soon as they encounter a staircase. nt

[XanaDUer2]

13. lmao!

[Mike 03]

8. Not to mention an economic and market implosion. NT

[John Ludi]

9. The stupider half

of the country has most (but FAR from all) the guns...

but the smarter half? We have the tech.

[cwydro]

10. "Instant civil war?"

How will that happen, do you think?

[Progressive Jones]

11. The rubes will be sufficiently riled by Trump. He'll get 'em to go to war. nt

[cwydro]

15. And then what happens?

They stop going to work and attack city offices? State offices? Head to Dem cities, and then what?

I’m just not getting the logistics here. Makes no sense.

[cwydro]

17. You "see through my shit?"

What does that mean? That you’re challenged by the questions I asked you? Or are you just trying to be insulting?

Genuinely curious about this “civil war” that a few seem so eager about here.

So, as you tell it, people with mental deficiencies, as you say, will some how rise up and defeat people with education, resources, intelligence, and a majority?

[Progressive Jones]

18. There are certain elements among the Trump Trash who would love a "civil war."

What else do you need to know?

[cwydro]

19. I still don't get the logistics.

Did you not understand my question?

[MerryBlooms]

24. They are delusional, why pedal the delusion?

[MerryBlooms]

25. rec.

[Girard442]

21. There will be factions of the military loyal to Trump and those loyal to Constitutional government.

When Trump tells his people to do something aggressive, how do you think the others will deal with it? And don't tell me the military will avoid getting embroiled in civilian issues. When there's an actual coup and actual shooting, they won't be able to.

[dustyscamp]

22. They'll ramp up their aggressiveness.

Maybe they'll start shooting/attacking BLM protests, Dem politicians, target pro President Biden people in their neighborhoods during the night. Maybe get more of their people to join the police force so they can legally abuse people they don't like

[muntrv]

12. Doncha know? The MAGAts have the cops, soldiers, and bikers!

[WyattKansas]

14. Hmm... Let the MAGA Militias get turned into grease spots on tRUMP's & the Republican Senate's watch

Then they can feed their hatred of a Federal Government with Republican Rule to turn their insanity on, like they have done since the President Clinton days.

Democratic Federal Gov't? Nope, nothing to do with it at all.

[Crunchy Frog]

20. They will happily mow down unarmed civilians if it comes to that.

They at least believe that they'll win.

[Retrograde]

23. They also don't get

that a 2nd Trump regime would be viewed as illegitimate by most of the rest of the world, affecting trade and other international agreements. But in their worldview, the universe stops at the Canadian and Mexican borders (they haven't accepted Hawai'i as part of the US)
