    This just doesn’t seem like the guy worth fighting a civil war over

    This is my first lemmy comment… sorry for the low quality response.

    Do they not remember the outcome of the first one? They lost…

    I wish they’d all just fuck off to their own uninhabited rock in the middle of the ocean somewhere where they can do all the dipshit stuff they want to do and yell into the void. They’re a cancer in this country.

    These people could coordinate well enough to do Jan 6, but once they actually went through with it, none of them actually knew how to achieve anything that really furthered their motives.

    I expect most of these people, whether they realize it or not, don’t actually want revolution. None of them would know what to do with it, or how to achieve it. They just want a simulation of revolution, feeling like they are changing something without actually achieving anything outside of stroking their own ego’s.

    the problem isnt those individual people so much as echo chambers. back when Hillary lost her Presidential bid, there were a LOT of similar calls from the lefty side of the media - inciting riots, etc.

    it’s nothing new, really.

      i don’t remember that at all. Calls for outright killing political opponents, and starting a civil war? “A LOT”? There were protests, yeah, but nothing like this.

      “both sides” are not the same.

      Bullshit there were, just because you would kill someone because you don’t get your own way, does not mean anybody on the left thinks like that. Perhaps you don’t get who the left are, they are like against killing folk just because you’re having a tantrum like a toddler.

      This both sides shit was projecting when it was first suggested and it’s even less credible now.

      The extreme left (if that’s even a believeable thing) come round to you house and force you to recycle and have a composting bin under your sink, they do not kill you.
