I finally had all that I could take of the "Civil War" bullshit.
I was enjoying a couple of beers at my local Legion post yesterday afternoon, watching golf, and just shooting the shit. We're about half and half when it comes to the lib/con breakdown, but we pretty much avoid politics and just enjoy each other's company.
But last night a kid I had not seen before, maybe 25 or so, showed up and started to blow MAGA smoke. I found out later from the hostess that he was a Son of the American Legion, meaning he had never served, but his father had. However, that's neither here nor there, because mostly he was just annoying.
He went on for a while about how the right was going to "take back America", and restore Trump to his rightful position in the White House ... the same shit we've all heard ad nauseum. But then he said that he and his "brothers" were ready to take it to the streets if necessary, and if it took a Cvil War to set things right, well then, so be it.
I tried to ignore him, but he just wouldn't shut the fuck up, so I finally turned to confront him.
I said, "Kid, if you ever get your Civil War, it will last about 30 seconds. That's because the first time you see Jim-Bob standing next to you have his fucking head turned into red mist by a .50 caliber sniper round fired from a distance of around 800 yards, you and the rest of your paintball militia will drop your guns, hop on your mopeds, and scamper back to mommy's basement." Then I turned my back on him.
Even the conservatives at the bar started laughing.
The kid never said a word, and didn't even finish his beer. He just kind of disappeared.
It was kind of a "shooting fish in a barrel" situation, but it just felt right.
I would wager that close to 100% of the clowns spouting Civil War rhetoric have never heard a shot fired in anger. If they had, they would be careful what they wished for.

"Paintball militia!" 
These fucking wannabe's are nothing more than cowards.
I had a similair run in with a MAGAt at a WalMart I had delivered to, I was shopping for supplies for my refrig in my truck, I was wearing my USMC Retired ball cap and a shirt that said Biden/Harris 2020 when confronted by this asshole who started to berate me for supporting Pres. Biden, I looked him square in the eye and pointed to my hat and said that I had earned the right to support anyone I fucking pleased and asked him if he had ever served, at that point he saw something in my eyes that warned him that he was fucking with the wrong person and decided to walk away while he still could on his own power.
Semper Fi.
But even those of us who never served have the right to support anyone we fucking please. 
what's your favorite ingredients on your soon to be delivered pizza?
Walmart Wingman?
I love it.
If you got laughs at a Legion Hall, that kid must have been totally off the charts.
...I've seen so many fantastic bon mots for these morons: Gravy Seals, Delta Forks Brigade, Meal Team Six, Custard's Last Stand, 101st Chairborne Division, Traitor Tots, Waffle SS, Green Buffets, The Roast Guard, Semper Pie...it never ends. The pictures of these idiots in the memes are even funnier.
What's really unbelievable, though, is seeing Trump go after people like Chris Christie or a Miss Universe contestant about their weight. And he has done so repeatedly and shamelessly. Does this guy own a mirror?!

...when the chuds in question are not...er..."horizontally challenged". (Most of them always seem to be, most of the time, however).
I remember there was this really repugnant far-right Catholic cleric, "Father Z", who had followed the EWTN-radtrad path to fame and fortune as a "celebrity priest". (EWTN has had numerous scandals because of these people). Anyway, a few years before "Fr Z" was booted from his diocese by his bishop and told to "get a real job", he had started wearing "tactical blacks"; i.e. he paid some unfortunate tailor to modify military tactical wear so that it looked more like the everyday "blacks" a parish priest wears. Basically, he looked like a Gravy Seal with a Roman collar. And yes, "Fr Z" was rather zaftig, of course.
When I saw the term "TacTard", "Fr Z" was the first chud that came to mind.
I once had two F-18s fly above my head (about 200 feet) full-throttle up...
Those engines are noisy like hell!! My ears still buzz... 
because they don't appear to have the organization skills of the confederacy, who had experienced generals leading them. And even they lost badly to the USA.
These fuckers don't understand that they're closer to Al Qaeda and ISIS than the Colonial army during the revolution.
I know it was hard containing yourself but your response was great

There's always a bad one when you shoot groups of 5 using non-match ammo.
I have guns, I've never shot.
Oh, he'll see his civil war, all right, but it's going to be fought in his own party and whether or not it will lead to actual bloodshed is anyone's guess. I have high hopes for fistfights at their convention next year. I've been waiting all my life for the unholy alliances devised by Nixon and especially Reagan to break down completely as the devils those two made deals with try to take over from the big money...and each other.
Of course, he was in no mood to listen to where the real fight was going to be. You took care of his dreams of standing atop the barricades, heroically welcoming King TFG into his rightful place over the dead bodies of at least 81 million of his fellow citizens. He'll probably just switch bars, but he'll always be looking for you in the crowd.
his age group still rides around on skateboards.
the finest fighting force on the planet and in the universe.
Of course, I may be a tad bit biased, but the truth is there.
Semper Fi.
is being tossed around these days.
Almost guaranteed that you're talking to (or overhearing) a true ignoramus.
Anybody that has even a casual acquaintance with a real 'civil war' ...
Doesn't harbor these kind of 'action film' fantasies.
