Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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.

Don’t they remember what happened last civil war?

[–] Jordan117@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

It's telling how ambiguous this headline is (either "fans of Trump are raging" or "Trump is fanning the rage").

...then do it. Start your civil war, see how far it gets you. Texans laugh all the time about "liberals" (even though they are "socially conservative liberals") and how easy it would be to roll them over...

But then you have the gangs of LA, NY crime families, as well as TONS of weaponry up north and more tankies and socialists craving violent revolution than you can shake a stick at.

The only difference is that one side is stupid enough to brag about it all the time, and the other just pulls up rolling deep without as much as a speaking engagement to signal it before hand.

These gravy seals, I swear.

Plus, the military kind of needs to step in and quell a civil war

The gravy seals ain't gonna do well

There was a chorus of "DUHRURDHUDRHDUHDUHRU URRR DHUEHRDHRUHDHDHDHRUHUDHRUDHURHUD!!" outside of the court room.

BRING IT!!!!!

Say when, bitches.

Declare it already. Quit your pussy-footing.

All these obese retirees and their incel offspring think the fucking US Military is afraid of a little asymmetric warfare. Guys, we invented this shit. All you're doing is opening the doors for your prison sentence to include torture at gitmo. That's assuming you don't get shot dead and left to rot in a field.

glhf, literally no one is scared of you. Again, just say when.

Civil war isn't going to go the way they think it will, but the problem with these morons is they could lose a civil war and walk away convinced they won.

[–] Entropywins@kbin.social 5 points 7 months ago

Wouldn't be the first time...

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 months ago

The VAST majority of them won't get off their fat-ass any more than they did on J6.

Yes, the J6 crowd wasn't small by any means, but they weren't an "army" in any sense of the word, they were a mob of stupid and violent people.

Civil war requires planning, and most Maga followers aren't capable of anything more complex than ranting on social media.
