There isn't going to be a civil war... As the Jan 6th uprising demonstrates, even the most ardent supporters of this kind of stuff whine like a two year old when the long term consequences start happening... Anyone who participates in something like this has to consider that its a a win or die endeavor. Fail and the long term consequences will haunt them for the rest of their lives.
Americans, and yeah Canadians too, have too much to lose to really attempt a civil war, especially it would mean giving up their weekend football games, beer pong parties, and nightly porn watching.

And don't forget the bubba weekends at the "gun range"...

that reminds me of a friend of mine who used to ice fish every weekend in winter without fail, something I never indulged in, and when I asked him what the thrill was, he said it was the drinking with buddies, which explains why he often returned with no fish 😜
 
I do

I'm talking about sea Ice
Yes, sea ice moves too and can melt into relatively warmer waters (since the waters in the ocean mix) causing disruptions in the currents and balance of the ocean.
 
I voted "Not a Chance" because the events at the Capitol Building demonstrated just how cowardly and disorganized the proto-fascist right-wing-nut fringe actually is. They were unprepared to occupy the building and install Trump as their beloved Fuhrer. They could never muster a unified assault, and in fact, there's no way for them to even begin to tell who the enemy is. The South shall not rise again!
You know something, no one else knows, like the motivations and plans of those rushing in? If you don't think people can get organized explain BLM and Antifa.

Yep, the price and therefore the cost of freedom increases with each passing day

Hang on to your hat. The Democrats are not done trying to get one going

LOL.... With the economy ROARING back under the Biden administration, there will be no tolerance from the American people for more nonsense..
 
you demonstrate you haven't a clue about the civil war

Let me guess what's next. Next, you'll try to say that the Civil War wasn't fought over the issue of slavery. Right?

GOOD POINT! BLM and ANTIFA are organized, the Proud Boys and Qanon not so much!

I never said, or even insinuated, that people cannot get organized. But I will state, without equivocation, that the opportunity the right-wing-nut fringe were handed on the 6th will never occur again, nor can they ever force it to. Their chance to overthrow the government, and install their chosen un-elected 'president', came and went on that day - and the clowns chose to play dress-up, take selfies, steal a podium, . . . . . . . . and were subsequently arrested.

The nascent crypto-fascist fringe might be well armed but, lets face it, they're not very bright.

And there burning down cities and killing people. And thanks for admitting that your hero groups are organized terrorists.
ever heard of "tongue in cheek?"
of course not, you Righties are SO tense all the time, but that is no surprise:
Conservatives Lack Sense of Humor, Study Finds

one bit of advice, if worrying about BLM and Antifa is keeping you awake at night, then be careful not to send your kids (or grandkids) to school, because last I checked, all the mass school shootings have been done - are you ready for it? - white men.

OOPS.

I know the border is a joke to the Left, that's why they assigned the job to Hyena Harris.

SOUTHERN Democrats, yup.
And those of us, even here in Canada, who know HISTORY know why the south switched sides in the 1960s. Should I cite the bill that did it for ya?

Now if the south wants to rise up AGAIN, they need to do a better job than sending a bunch of Hillbillies to Washington, just sayin'

If you spent more time checking facts and less time on juvenile cartoons you'd know that what you're saying is BS. The South did not 'switch sides in the 6o's'.

The Republican Party is white and Southern. How did that happen?
Why the shift? Historians and political scientists traditionally emphasize how the national Democratic Party began supporting civil rights, which alienated white Southern voters. But our research shows that it wasn’t just the Democrats who changed. The Republican Party in the South consciously chose to exclude blacks early in the 20th century, which helped it to dominate Southern politics decades later.

Southern black voters used to support Republicans
Right after the Civil War, black voters were the Republican Party’s main supporters in the South.


Black leaders were gradually pushed out
For a generation after Reconstruction’s end, these Southern state parties had a significant number of black Republicans in leadership positions.
But over time, white-supremacist Republicans — known as the Lily-Whites — pushed black leaders like Cuney and their white allies — known as the Black-and-Tans — out of the party.
Many have noted that whiteness is a fundamental part of today’s Republican Party. Our results suggest that this is nothing new and show where it came from. The Southern GOP consciously decided in the early 20th century to make itself white by excluding blacks from the party leadership.

You will pretend it wasn't the North that ended it.
as usual, yet another lie. I am a rather well educated student of the war given a direct ancestor was the commanding officer first fired upon. I took every history and political science class I could on that period. So stop the blood clot lying.
