I posted something when I was new do DU saying I was concerned about a second civil war.

15. That's what Q wants

A Civil War, doesn't mean they'll get one, but it's appropriate to discuss.

DU has been overly cautious about moderating hyperbole for a long time. I appreciate that we would rather stick with the facts as we can prove them. But this is something we need to be discussing. The rhetoric from the Right was leading up to this for several years and we ignored it at out own peril.

Several years back I started a thread on how conspiracy theory loving Cons would be obsessed with child sex scandals that they would try to pin on powerful Dems. I even took it to the next completely logical and predictable step that they'd claim there was child porn on the laptop of a candidate or the family of a candidate. And low and behold, that's exactly what they claimed was on Hunter Biden's laptop. Those threads got flagged for moderation and removed.

January 6th was not surprising in the least, they had been planning it for a long time. The crap they tried to invent with Hunter Biden's laptop was also predictable. The Democratic Party has done a poor job of anticipating what the Reps and Trump will do next, hopefully we start entertaining just how crazy they are to be able to protect the country.
