So it is with Trump supporters who own guns. They have it - they must use it. It's all they have. So, naturally, they would be supportive of a "civil war". After all, they have the advantage. They have the guns.
It is the guns that give them the false sense of superiority and security. They will resort to violence to defeat the liberals, if it is required. Everybody looks like an enemy.
The gun is their hammer. They are ready to use it to drive their enemies into the dirt, like a ten-penny nail. They have no fear of any opposition.
Their gun defines who they are and what they stand for. Take away their hammer and they would be lost. There would be no meaning in their lives.

What have we done to trigger their blood lust for a civil war?
What?
Had a different opinion regarding policy matters? Breathed their oxygen? What?
We may look like ten-penny nails to them, but their media has actually put a target on our backs. The gun humpers are simply Tucker's pack of hounds and they've been ordered to sic.
The collision of freedom of speech and capitalism is as dangerous an intersect as we will ever face.

(9,146 posts)Civil war, is by definition, an insurrection. Biden could, and would, invoke the Insurrection Act to put it down. That allows the military to be used against the insurrectionists.
In 1861, the sides were pretty much evenly matched. We had muskets, they had muskets; we had rifles, so did they; we had cannon, they had cannon, and so on.
They dont have planes or helicopters, or tanks, or APCs, or artillery, or aircraft carriers, or missiles or on and on and on. This wouldnt just be assholes wearing tactical gear, shooting up their neighborhoods with there AR15s, like they think it will be. At least not for long.
