There was already a coup attempt.
A successful one, too. Sure, he didn't manage to retain the government at the time, but he also wasn't executed for treason. So now, 4 years later, he is back in power and actively shredding any constitutional safeguards that would prevent him from turning it into a dictatorship.
It's a Self coup , I think.
Biden admin had four years... and the coup was successful then, too
You're so close!
HOW is this Possible? ALL Republicans are doing is CALLING for the MURDER of Democrats while Democrats call for the ISOLATION of Anyone who Wants Healthcare or Education or to NOT be Kidnapped by Sex Predators in ICE! That SEEMS like a WINNING Strategy for a Country!
This was an interesting read. The quiet quitting version of secession is interesting, I've always considered it more of a binary
The west coast states are already sort of (very, very "sort of" so far) on that path.
I mean, idk about lincolns case, but trump will start a civil war in November rather than admit defeat in the midterms
I don't think they have the base to start a civil war anymore. Jan. 6th, yes. Now? nope. Even this guy has renounced trump.
They aren't the ones who are going to start it, they are the ones in charge.
For a long time, I think folks have been too lazy, distracted, and disengaged to revolt. But, when a critical mass of people go hungry for a week or two, that's when it will ignite, I think. The Iran war driving up petroleum prices will make everything even more unaffordable.
Por que no los tres?
it was a long time coming, concerning how deeply divided this country is.
Hopefully it means I won't have to work anymore if shit pops off.
with the riots, we’re actually getting a lot of people calling out, but we are still going to need you to come in…
