Civil War
How do civil wars happen?
Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can't settle the question through elections because they don't even agree that elections are how you decide who's in charge. That's the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war.
The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it's not the first time they've done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn't really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There's a pattern here. What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don't accept the results of any election that they don't win. It means they don't believe that transfers of power in this country are determined by elections.
That's a civil war.
There's no shooting. At least not unless you count the attempt to kill a bunch of Republicans at a charity baseball game practice. But the Democrats have rejected our system of government.
This isn't dissent. It's not disagreement. You can hate the other party. You can think they're the worst thing that ever happened to the country. But then you work harder to win the next election. When you consistently reject the results of elections that you don't win, what you want is a dictatorship.
Your very own dictatorship.
The only legitimate exercise of power in this country, according to Democrats, is its own. Whenever Republicans exercise power, it's inherently illegitimate. The Democrats lost Congress. They lost the White House. So what did they do? They began trying to run the country through Federal judges and bureaucrats. Every time that a Federal judge issues an order saying that the President of the United States can't scratch his own back without his say so, that's the civil war.
Our system of government is based on the constitution, but that's not the system that runs this country. The Democrat's system is that any part of government that it runs gets total and unlimited power over the country.
If the Democrats are in the White House, then the president can do anything. And I mean anything. He can have his own amnesty for illegal aliens. He can fine you for not having health insurance. His power is unlimited. He's a dictator.
But when Republicans get into the White House, suddenly the President can't do anything. He isn't even allowed to undo the illegal alien amnesty that his predecessor illegally invented. A Democrat in the White House has 'discretion' to completely decide every aspect of immigration policy. A Republican doesn't even have the 'discretion' to reverse him. That's how the game is played That's how our country is run. Sad but true, although the left hasn't yet won that particular fight.
When a Democrat is in the White House, states aren't even allowed to enforce immigration law. But when a Republican is in the White House, states can create their own immigration laws. Under Obama, a state wasn't allowed to go to the bathroom without asking permission. But under Trump, Jerry Brown can go around saying that California is an independent republic and sign treaties with other countries.
The Constitution has something to say about that. Whether it's Federal or State, Executive, Legislative or Judiciary, the left moves power around to run the country. If it controls an institution, then that institution is suddenly the supreme power in the land. This is what I call a moving dictatorship.
Donald Trump has caused the Shadow Government to come out of hiding: Professional government is a guild. Like medieval guilds. You can't serve in if you're not a member. If you haven't been indoctrinated into its arcane rituals. If you aren't in the club. And Trump isn't in the club. He brought in a bunch of people who aren't in the club with him.
Now we're seeing what the pros do when amateurs try to walk in on them. They spy on them, they investigate them and they send them to jail. They use the tools of power to bring them down.
That's not a free country.
It's not a free country when FBI agents who support Hillary take out an 'insurance policy' against Trump winning the election. It's not a free country when Obama officials engage in massive unmasking of the opposition. It's not a free country when the media responds to the other guy winning by trying to ban the conservative media that supported him from social media. It's not a free country when all of the above collude together to overturn an election because the guy who wasn't supposed to win did.
Have no doubt, we're in a civil war between conservative volunteer government and a leftist Democrat professional government.
We have this ONE, LAST shot with President Trump to reclaim our nation and he needs us educated and available.
Send him good, conservative Republicans every election
I’d offer we’re in the early stages of CW III. CW II was the culture war. Sadly, that war has not gone well as America’s moral fabric has been remade.
In private, many liberals are done with elections.
The election brought Trump, and not the smartest woman in the world, so the elections are wrong.
If there is no blue wave in a few months, you will see this cold war get a little warmer. They will not accept that their ideology is failing.
Your left wing neighbor and reltives are the enemy just the same as James clapper
The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election.
__________________________________________________
The Supreme Court didn’t give Bush the win, they just said if you are going to count one democrat county, you have to count all of the counties in the state. After that, Gore conceded.
Eighteen years later, what do most people remember?
You keep saying that but that is pure BS. If entire states secede then there will be defined geographic borders. It will be hybrid war. If Nebraska and Kansans secede they will not fight each other. More than likely the will form a confederation with Texas and Oklahoma.
Your "if" statement ignores the actual problem. It isn't state vs state, it's urban vs rural. It won't be NEB vs KS, it will be Omaha, Wichita, KC, and the college towns versus everything else in KS and NEB. The geographic borders will not exist, aside from nebulous city limits.
It will be mob on mob, but then there's the question of the current military. Which side will they take? Will they follow President Trump's orders?
Keep this in mind - those who hate Pres. Trump, hate each & every one of us who voted for him. They want retribution, right down to the individual up close & personal level.
Example - wearing a MAGA cap often leads to getting beaten up. A Trump sticker will get one’s car vandalized. Social media are silencing voices from the right. GVROs are being issued against gun owners, signed by an Obama appointed judge. Click on a conservative website & fight off a storm of viruses.
The list goes on. The front is now everywhere and everyone who supports the President is a soldier, willy-nilly.
Look at the first Civil War, there race/draft riots that were so bad in the North Lincoln sent an entire infantry corp from the Army of the Potomac to crush it in NYC. Copperheads were all over the North causing trouble. In the South there were break away counties and bread/food riots. This internecine fighting always happens in a civil war. But it is not the main event. Your point is stupid and uneducated.
Even in rural areas, a war will be between neighbors. Actually I should say people that live in close proximity to others. In my rural area, there are lots of people who hate Trump.
4th Generation Warfare. You kill the shot-callers.
Without the benefit of new of blog links, allow me to list just some of the assaults since Trump came down the escalator...
I could go on. There are more that I can't think of at the moment. I'm sure someone is tracking it. And this is not counting the countless number of physical threats that have been made at GOP elected officials and even voters.
But there are too many on our side willing to look at reality, instead waiting for a red army and a blue army line up on a battle field. Until then, 'keep your power dry and wait for the shooting to start'. I close by putting it this way...
...at some point, Claire Wolfe has probably thrown away her wrist watch.
just my $0.02
jimjohn - OUT
We just haven’t fired any shots yet but it IS coming.
From what I've seen, if Texas seceded, it would join Mexico.
You are being an idiot. Why? Who knows. Next.
Your Profile Page says a lot about you.
Hopefully there won’t be a shooting war.
But if there is it will make the first civil war look like a walk in the park on a warm spring day.
