For all you guys saying you want a Civil War...you have zero idea what you are asking for. If you've seen War in any capacity then you never want to see it again. Unless you're a psychopath and just simply don't care. So long as you get to kill your enemies.
The sheer destruction this would do to us as a Nation and a people is beyond what you can comprehend. There is no coming back from that a second time and we barely recovered from it once. And it's still had effects on us nearly a 150 years later.
No. I don't want that. I want this to end with with a Convention of States that sees the Federal Governments encroachment on our rights curbed and not a war that rips us apart and leaves us vulnerable to our enemies. Cause like it or not, we have many of them. Probably more now thanks to Joey Bag of Donuts and the NeoLib/NeoCon Alliance.
I don't want a civil war, or national divorce, because it won't work for the GOP the way they hope it will.No.
I didn't fight to keep this country safe only to see it break apart. It's all I'll say on that.
The Dems live in a different reality that of the GOP and most of the military members do, and will go for more...extreme options in munitions if the powers in DC are actually threatened in a meaningful way.
Though I would also point out France is on what # republic these days, and is still undeniably France; if France can survive changes in government structure and partial collapse (Vichy getting mixed back into the rest of France after WW2, Napoleon, the multiple changes in monarchy/republic) so can we.
A 2nd American Republic coming out the other side of civil strife is far from the worst possibility.
