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.

...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

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

Don’t they remember what happened last civil war?

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.

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

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.

Wouldn't be the first time...

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.
