If a civil war erupts, there won't be midterm elections. No elections means there's no way anybody else but the GOP will have congress and there's absolutely no chance this administration can be removed without violence.
So let's give these midterm elections a chance.
There literally were midterm elections during the last civil war tho
How is it possible to have seen the escalation over the past year, and still be this dense?
I'm telling you that this already fucking happened before oh my God why do we give liberals access to the internet
Like I get that you have "born yesterday" syndrome but do you really have to make it everyone else's problem?
You don't think there might be some differences between now and a war that happened 150 years ago?
I don't understand you fucking lackadaisical idiots that think everything will just get better if we ignore it. You don't think there's s difference between Donald Trump, MAGA, and fucking Lincoln? My coworkers are CHEERING this on. My neighbors are CHEERING this on. They don't fucking care because they're white and currently on the winning team.
This has fucking happened before. Goddamn Europe in the 30's. Bondi just said they'll remove ICE from Minneapolis if there turn over all the voting records. That's what this is about. They want the voting records so they can cry about fraud again when they lose. Only this time they have a ready built army loyal to Trump and Noam, not to the people.
Wake the fuck up!
That is not even remotely what I'm saying. I'm saying we need to do more, way the fuck more, and that we've always needed to do more. I'm not a fucking conservative. I'm yelling at liberals from the left.
Fuck Lincoln lmao, no good presidents
. He only worked towards abolition because it was politically expedient for him. Obviously there's a difference between Lincoln and Trump, but regardless of the figurehead, 
is foundationally white supremacist and cannot be reformed, it needs to be abolished, and until people realize that and actually do the thing, we're gonna keep having to beat back these fucking fascists time and time again.
Yes exactly and we know how it's gonna go this time because the fascists implemented the logical conclusion of the
project! It's not "
is becoming more like Nazi 🇩🇪", it's "🇩🇪 became more like 
and showed us what we would become".
And I'm still not voting for your candidate and I don't care about electoral strategy because
needs to be abolished, not reformed.
