Progressive Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman warned of a stark outcome if Republicans take back power in the November midterm elections — one that would “embolden” far-right extremists and white nationalists who he claims “have been pushing” for “civil war.”

During a Saturday interview with MSNBC’s “The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross,” the Bronx-Westchester member of the congressional “Squad” led by socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Republicans will quickly take action to halt Democratic progress in the investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, saying the House select committee’s findings would be “completely suppressed.”

The fear mongering and whining from that group is reaching... levels no average Karen could ever dream of.

Maybe I miss read the article. "Progressive Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman warned" - "the congressional “Squad” led by socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Republicans will quickly take action to halt Democratic progress" etc., etc. The projecting and whining is Democrat i.e. Lefties.

Righties are the ones with extremist camps who are itching for civil war.

The question is who would start a civil war, not whether Bidendiddit.
 
The Honorable Representative B. is just upset that maybe a red House (and Senate?) might take action against the hoodlums that are currently running amuck in our cities sucker punching and robbing and looting.
 
Oh crap a threat from the squad we all must all vote for a authoritarian government in the democrats

LMFAO about the link, no shit Sherlock the investigation would be over

Fingers crossed…

It’s getting pretty hot these days, though. With the upcoming SC rulings? 5 years ago I would’ve said no way, but now? It doesn’t have to even be a full on war to really do some damage…

Oklahoma City comes to mind

Not like 1861...you're right.
More like Ireland's three decade long bout with domestic terrorism referred to as "The Troubles" and the only people who will ultimately be safe in this country will be white male extremists of the far Right variety.

The reactionary right wing has predicted civil war if they don’t get their way every election since 2004.

They were especially noisy when the black man was in the White House.

In the last four years they've been coming out and saying it out loud, in the papers, on TV, on the radio, on social media.
So I don't want to hear Republicans poo-pooing and saying it's the left that's exaggerating....because that's another lie.

Three decades? That's just after the country split. This Irish have had risings for something like 700 years.

@Loulit01 I have nothing to gain and everything to lose by lying or exaggerating.
I grew up seeing it and hearing about it almost every week.


Republicans carried out a guerrilla campaign against British forces as well as a bombing campaign against infrastructural, commercial and political targets. Loyalists attacked republicans/nationalists and the wider Catholic community in what they described as retaliation. At times, there were bouts of sectarian tit-for-tat violence, as well as feuds within and between paramilitary groups. The British security forces undertook policing and counter-insurgency, primarily against republicans. There were incidents of collusion between British state forces and loyalist paramilitaries. The Troubles also involved numerous riots, mass protests and acts of civil disobedience, and led to increased segregation and the creation of temporary no-go areas.

Over 3500 were killed and tens of thousands injured in a province of (at the time) of about a million population.
The random bombing campaigns were particularly frightening.

That’s what they’ve been telling each other for decades.
 
I liked it better when they'd just threaten to move to Canada.

Really?

After every election in this century, right wing politicians and cranks have predicted civil war.

As one poster on this thread noted “The left knows better”.

Which is true. The “left” believes in democracy.

Trump and his disciples do not.

As for civil war, we know who was behind Jan 6th, and we know that the right does not “know better”.
