If the future dim pres has any sense, he/she/it will see that’s a road they don’t want to go down. Like you, I think Civil War II will break out at that time.
“...Which is the problem most on our side has....”
Don’t bet on it.
Absolutely.
Are things different now? Sure they are.
But people haven’t changed. Technology has, but break a person’s will to fight, and the battle is won.
That’s as old as time. Read Sun Tzu, The Art of War.
It is hard to imagine how that would be a winning strategy for any political party.
How do you think police officers, firemen, doctors, pharmacists, nurses, veterans, and millions of other Americans would react if they were denied health care and had their money seized?
And just exactly what would the clerks in the local CVS do if a half a dozen of the people listed above brought their firearms with them to the CVS to get their medications?
I suspect that they would gladly hand over the medications, and they wouldn't even ask to see the prescriptions.
She just proved what the dems want to do re: 2nd Amendment. But we will own the courts and the guns. Good luck with that effort. They are desperate to prevent Trump from declaring a National Emergency. Not going to work. If they weren’t so stupid, they would have given Trump his $5.7B or close to it with no strings and prevented the National Emergency most likely. But they played right into Trump’s anticipatory hands.
The thing about civil wars though, is that they pretty much never go as envisioned.
Actually, more like Revolutionary War II.
Nobody has that "strategy". You seem like a provocateur trying to get people to post threats or some such thing. If you want to understand what happens when citizens rebel against tyranny just read history books, or the news from similar situations in other nations. Or ask a veteran who has faced citizens fighting against the local government and them overseas.
Our "strategy" is simple. Educate people young and old about the benefits of freedom, and why they need to preserve their rights. And then let those tens of millions of people do what they need to do to protect their freedoms. In the short run that likely entails finding and supporting good candidates for the 2020 elections.
“You seem like a provocateur trying to get people to post threats or some such thing.”
You’ve not read any of my posts have you?
I advocate the exact opposite.
I actually tire of the ‘shoot sumdood on my doorstep’ posts. They’re not helpful or educational.
Training for a pharmacist is that if there is an armed robbery, you will comply with the armed robbery rather than fight. If there was a raid on CVS by angry parents wanting their kids medications, it would be as good as over. Not only that but the sheer complexity of the fact that plenty of people like me have immediate family who do work as police or firefigjters, . That is tons of people you should not be hurting the families of.
next president election we should se up advertising telling everyone how scared they should be of demacrat getting power by just playing back there own words.
Take a look at the living hell of those African Civil Wars. Police and government officials get shot dead or executed by Rebels in plain sight of the public. You have a government with superior fire power, only problem is that they can’t easily know who the Rebels are among their civilian population while the Rebels know who their government officials are.
Time to make a commercial for the 2020 election.
You are clearly just trying to generate controversy, or are earning your deep state paycheck. But really, using the deprivation of medical resources against a section of your own population is a totally idiotic idea. Even the most evil tyrannical government is too smart for that against a population which can fight back.
Lets walk through your hypothetical -- one which will never happen -- but lets treat it as an exercise in fiction.
The "government" (not ours since even the Democrats aren't that crazy) decides to hand out ID cards so that only some people can get medicine. The people who can't get their medicine have guns.
The second group knows that you can get medicine by going to the pharmacy and helping yourself to it, or by following the other person who did get medicine from the pharmacy back to their house and taking the medicine from them.
Pretty soon nobody can get their medicine safely or easily.
In short order the people dying from lack of medicine aren't the insurgents, or the oppressed, but the people that the "government" counts on to operate. Like the police, the teachers, the firemen, the politicians, the journalists, and just about everybody else.
Now everybody is mad at the government. And then you have a new government.
“You are clearly just trying to generate controversy, or are earning your deep state paycheck.”
LOL.
You’re funny.
Excellent point.
The hypothetical scenario advanced tonight by another Freeper is nonsensical.
Better to go down fighting than begging from the knees.
I think Pelosi has popped too many blood vessels in her putrid little head. She’s crazy. Certifiable. Looney toons gonzo. Psychotic and neurotic. The ship has left the port and ain’t coming back.
We can build the wall even if we need to use guns to do it.
This is why we have guns.
We also have guns to protect us from those who would want take them.
This is why we have guns.
Do I need to go on?
Without going into too deep, if they try to seize guns, all bets are off. Many will not choose comforts over the very freedom of life for them and their families. I know what is at stake, but anyone who chooses their meds or money over freedom is no real American. There will be no neutral parties. If you’re the enemy, or trying to save your own skin and comply, you are against America and what she stands for. There will be only two sides. Our fathers, grandfathers and beyond sacrificed everything for their country. Dig deep, find your courage, roar like a lion! We are not sheep! We are free men and women!
