VOTE!

Stop looking for reasons to trust Republicans.

Vote Democrat if you love this country.

...Americans (click here) are increasingly talking about civil war. In August, after the FBI raided Donald Trump’s Florida home, Twitter references to “civil war” jumped 3,000%. Trump supporters immediately went online, tweeting threats that a civil war would start if Trump was indicted. One account wrote: “Is it Civil-War-O’clock yet?”; another said, “get ready for an uprising”. Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator from South Carolina, said there would be “riots in the streets” if Trump was indicted. Trump himself predicted that “terrible things are going to happen” if the temperature wasn’t brought down in the country. Perhaps most troubling, Americans on both sides of the political divide increasingly state that violence is justified. In January 2022, 34% of Americans surveyed said that it was sometimes OK to use violence against the government. Seven months later, more than 40% said that they believed civil war was at least somewhat likely in the next 10 years. Two years ago, no one was talking about a second American civil war. Today it is common....

Americans love their 401ks too much to be involved with a civil war. There is no practicality to it besides complete chaos. I don't buy it.

But, I do believe the Republican elite will try to undermine every aspect of civil rights they can. I sincerely believe Trump wants a kingship out of his next election. He wants to destroy this country and bring comfort to his own life. That is all he has ever wanted and did little to contribute to society or the country most of his adult life.
