There is a broader far-right coalition, totally supported by the Republican Party, openly advocating for civil war
"Civil War" was a top trending topic on Twitter on Sunday after remarks from an attendee of former Donald Trump's rally in Iowa, (Oct 2021) were widely circulated online and by the media.
To everybody making light of the MAGA folks talking about Civil War: just remember that they’re heavily armed, brainwashed and consistently encouraged by the GOP to engage in vigilantism/insurrection. Not a good combo. We should fear for the folks they’ll target with violence.
There might not be a civil war but there will sadly be incidents of violence across America and people still aren't taking the threat of a radicalized, weaponized GOP cult seriously. Wait until there are vaccines for kids and mandates in schools. These people are unhinged.
Some historians have raised concerns for the past couple years that the current political reality within the U.S. is similar to the polarization and tension ahead of the Civil War of the 1860s. That conflict occurred when the Southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederacy in a bid to preserve the institution of slavery. The Union army ultimately won in 1865 and the nation has managed to stay together ever since.
Trump supporters violently attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6 in an apparent effort to prevent the formal certification of President Joe Biden's election victory. The mob of rioters was animated by Trump's baseless claims that the 2020 election was "rigged" or "stolen" in Biden's favor.
The former president continues to promote this false allegation, despite no evidence emerging to substantiate it. Many GOP voters believe the so-called "Big Lie." Recent polls have shown that as many two-thirds of Republicans believe Biden won through a rigged or stolen election.
Is the GOP going to stand in defense of our Democracy, or sell out Our Country? I think we all know the answer to this question... The republican party and their supporters, represent an end of the American Way of Life.
