This has been obvious for sometime, going back to when the first serious street fights were started in 2016/2017.

Obvious? Yes, but as far as them admitting it?

Then they are fools. Magnanimity in victory is the way to win the peace. Rubbing salt in the wounds will lose that peace in the long term, as it's a surefire way to keep enmity alive and well for decades to come.
Versailles created Nazi Germany. Be gentle with those you defeat.
Yeah, they aren't being magnanimous in any way whatsoever lol
That whole article that sparked this thread, is them rubbing salt in the wound.
"Oh you thought there was a conspiracy?! There totally was, but you can't do anything about it because we won," and they're right because while it's shady as hell and I definitely qualify it as rigging, the stuff they pulled wasn't technically illegal.
One can only truly be magnanimous if one feels their victory was actually assured and secure.
They most definitely do not feel that way. If one is worried that they might lose power quickly or that they are really a minority governing over a hostile majority, you have to stamp out the idea of resistance thoroughly and make it look like the other side really has no chance and must submit.

Versailles created Nazi Germany, because it was a bastardized middle ground. It was neither harsh enough, nor gentle enough. Even then, the Allies refusing to enforce it is what created WWII.
In the here and now, the Democrats are in the stage of making a mad dash to permanently consolidate power. Some of them clearly understand how easily their position could be overturned, some of them seem to think that their position is absolute and unassailable.
I don't know if any of the realize that the reason the right in America is so slow to violence, is because we understand once political violence becomes the accepted way of resolving political conflict, you have to rebuild your Republic from scratch, and there'll be thousands of corpses along the way.
They’re definitely not in the drivers seat, but what they’ve in essence done is shielded, supported and directed a lot of the flow of this ideology in order to keep themselves around.
thousands if we are lucky, last civil war killed entire percentages of the population. Which is why I think we are 20-30 years away from a civil war.
You're thinking if the social and political situations/divides remain linear. I think they're exponential. The Democrats, their cats paws, and the NPC drones out there are confident in their successes now: they're going to escalate.
I'm thinking in the immediate next few years, tops.
Irresponsible Hype from Molly Ball and Time Magazine | National Review
National Review has an article up (actually got it up a few days ago, but I somehow missed it).
The short summary is that they have some doubts about how much influence this cabal actually had, vs it being a bunch of progressives coming out after the fact to try and take credit for defeating Trump, some concerns about what the cabal's role in managing leftist protestors would have been if Biden lost (presuming it's claims about pulling the strings of all those activist groups were correct), and even more concerns about the article being framed in such provocative terms.

That's exactly what it is.

They have gotten a taste for power and its abuses and nothing serious has checked it. Given thier consequentialist mindset, they will absolutely accelerate.

Within the year. The stupidity with Florida proves that Biden/Harris are dumb enough to provoke the states. The federal system of the US garantees that a civil war will be state vs state.
