It is time to admit to ourselves that we are in a full-on, cold civil war...

[markpkessinger]

And it has been launched by Republican cans in Texas!

1. It's been a cold civil war

Since November of last year for me.

8. The Civil War has been cold since the end of Reconstruction

He might have been from Illinois and California, but Ronald Reagan was the most important member of the Lost Cause movement in the last 140 years.

11. It's been a cold civil war since Rupert Murdoch showed up.

2. I believe it

And now the CONfederates have nukes, unlimited cash, weapons, the likes of which we have never seen before, they own the military and all that force, media control, and fully supportive Justice system. And, a criminal congress,
senate and cabinet.
If Lincoln had all that, the treasonous, racist rebels would have been stomped out in days.
As will the high road libs and “I don’t do politics”
Crowd. And if we do not think every truck, hat, tee shirt bearing that fucking flag, have owners that are having chubbies for the coming victory and payback, well we deserve what’s coming.
Heritage is why they say they wear that shit. And the heritage of losing to the WOKE yankees has been burning their asses everyday since. NOW they are primed. With lots of Yankees on their team.

3. They have all that...

...and they are still going to lose.

[Traildogbob]

4. We have to make

It true. Cut the head off the snake, and the main head ain’t trump. One of those mythical multiple head evil snakes. P25 authors and the Millers of the party.

5. They have a huuuge liability that outweighs any advantages.

That is, they cannot separate fact from the fables they tell themselves. That alone can be used to great effect -and may even be a game-ender for them.

6. In case you hadn't noticed . . .

. . . Facts don't seem to sway many Trump supporters.

[-misanthroptimist]

7. At the end of the day...

...facts *always* win when it comes to things like climate change. Reality isn't an opinion...and vice versa.

[markpkessinger]

10. Sure, they'll be proven wrong in the end . . . .

. . . But what good is that to the rest of us? It doesn't mean they won't do everything within their power to obstruct meaningful action on something like climate change until it is too late for it to have any meaningful effect. So, yeah, those of us still around will get to say, "I told you so." But that isn't a whole hell of a lot of consolation!

9. We need to admit to ourselves that there's only one way to deal with fascists.

And act accordingly.

We can’t vote them out and they won’t just leave.

There should be full scale riots in the streets already. But Americans are too comfortable and are incapable of doing what needs to be done. We’re paralyzed by convenience.

The bad guys won without a shot being fired.
