Democrats Seek Civil War, But Will Get Revolution

[American Thinker] Democrats conspired with foreign agents, lied, cheated, and denied due process to Donald Trump. If they were willing to do that to a duly elected president in order to obtain power, what should Americans expect them to do to them should they refuse attempts to be disarmed?

Democrats understand that an armed America can say, "No!" And they can’t have that. If they want to radically change the America extant for more than two centuries, they need to first disarm Americans. And they realize asking nicely is not going to accomplish this.

Therefore, the ever-equable Democrats have suffered a recrudescence of their desire for the disease of civil war... a disease that has lain dormant for more than 160 years.

Democrats will do their utmost to create a situation where blood is spilled and lives are lost to engender this war. They believe that only bloodshed will finally get the people on their side, willing to cede to them the control they need to "fundamentally transform the United States of America."

And they have reached a point where they think they can win.

The solipsist left believes they are on the side of all that is good, just, and reasonable and if Americans must die for them to be in control, it is a small price to pay to attain the country they believe America should be.

#2 Yes, the potential for violent resistance to the state is growing.
No, this is not a looming "civil war." There is no central issue that divides the country economically and along clear geographicall or socio-economic lines.

In 1860, about one-third of the nation's elite was directly dependent on slavery for their livelihood. Another large proportion was determined to aid and abet what they viewed as liberation of individual slaves and what the slave owners viewed as larceny. In addition there was the fundamental economic clash over tariffs that pitted North v South -- see Rantburg masthead's cartoon that shows an early Yankee manufacturer and a Southern farmer engaging in "civil discourse" with fists, knees and feet.

No reconciliation was possible of these positions on central, fundamental economic and legal issues that affected the very survival of the Southern planter elites who dominated nearly half of the American states. And those states, not the nation as a whole, were the source of American identity and political coherence in 1860.

None of that applies today.

There's certainly a rural-urban divide, especially re 2A, but this is not a fundamental economic or political divide. The media maroons and identity politics & race-mongers in academe would like us to believe there's a race war a-comin,' but that's not happening.

Race relations were FAR worse during the late 1960s and 1970s. Today, most African-Americans want a sane middle-class lifestyle for them and their kids; many working-class white Americans have succumbed to the pathologies that once were considered the unique attributes of the urban black underclass. They're merging. Is class conflict the foundation of this supposed looming civil war? I don't think so.

What seems more likely is a series of random standoffs like Ruby Ridge, or maybe the 18c Shays Rebellion and Whiskey Rebellion, along with continued bitterly-fought presidential elections. Also, a reversion to 1970s, Escape From New York-style urban crime, decay and corruption of the sort now visible in De Blasio's NYC Shitshow, also Chicago, Baltimore, SF and LA.

But that's nowhere close to a crisis like the secession of 13 states, or firing on Sumter. Let alone the storming of the Bastille or the capture and execution of a king or a Tsar.

Violence in our near future? Perhaps. But not "civil war."

#3 Re the "American Thinker" article: the guy's argument HS a mess. "Revolution"? Against which class, over what? Guns? Is this a joke?

Do he and the loons cluttering up the comments upon his article believe that gun ownership defines an entire economic and social class?

Yes, 2A is a fundamental right. But we're not talking about an issue so fraught as taxation without representation, or the extortion and strangulation of American merchants by a greedy and rapacious British crown.

The Shitshow is essentially a cultural phenom-- American kukturkampf-- along with a comical attempt at a praetorian guard's coup attempt.

But John Brennan and Adam Schiff make a piss-poor Robespierre and St-Just.

They're buffoons, mugging for the cameras, covered in face-paint, spouting nonsense and spinning ridiculous plots that are so stupid, they wouldn't make the final cut for an episode of "Get Smart."

#5 I am reminded of Benjamin Disraeli often times related to today's goings on; Crystal palace speech that follows is worth the time to review in my humble opinion as well.

#6 If a civil war does break out, it will be more along the lines of Bosnia, not the 1860s version. The left will be very bloody in purging those they don't agree with, but they won't have the guns or supplies to sustain their purge.

Then starvation will set in along with a very angry right that will start their own purge of leftist ideologues.

#8 The left has started to lose the center.

Any conflict in the future would look something like the craziness in the 60s. Protest/riots paid for by Commies (Soviets then, Soros now) and A handful of zealots committing crimes and using their rhetoric to justify things.
