Edit: There’s a lot of people in the comment section who clearly didn’t read the article so let me clarify that no, this is not about Judge Aileen Cannon. Read. The. Damn. Article.

    There will be no “civil war” until republicans win again.

    Cops are gonna cop either way (so do nothing other than find the nearest brown kid they can beat on until The Public gets mad enough that they have to act). Even a bunch of untrained gravy seals with ar-15s are going to leave the cops shitting themselves and crying while they play gacha games on their phones. It is the military (mostly National Guard) who are going to matter.

    And Jan 6 already showed how that plays out. They are going to do whatever they are ordered to. So if the POTUS is actively trying to murder the VPOTUS and the president pro tem and so forth? Doesn’t matter because the person they report to is telling them to not act or, after seeing Jan 6 “fail”, to impose martial law to protect the country.

    If anyone who actually cares about the country is in power (so… Democrats and a very small subset of third parties)? We roll up on the gravy seals with a few drones that drop tear gas and we are done. If it is the republicans? It won’t be a “civil war” so much as a series of lynchings.

      Can you imagine if the Jan 6er’s had to go longer than say what, 12 hours? These pastey white middle aged men would be wrapping it up to goto waffle house as soon as the sun went down.
