Would you support an attempted civil war if Trump is convicted by the Senate?

[Risky Thicket]

Lately we've heard a few people mention the possibility of civil war in the US if Trump is convicted by the Senate. I don't personally know anyone who believes Trump's conviction by the Senate would result in a civil war, but I have a read where some have said a civil war might happen.

If Trump's conviction in the Senate is answered by organized violence would you support it?

The fear mongering goes on, civil war, threats to national security, recession, nuclear war. What else can we add to the list? Can't wait to hear them.

I agree, more fear tactics, threats and false promises on the defend Trump no matter what....or else pack. This is what they represent, this is the kind of thing that myself and most thinking Americans are disgusted by. What is America turning into? Dare to do anything against the Dictator in Chief? :roll:

This year that we are starting, NOV-NOV, will be one of the most consequential in US history, imo.

Would you support one if he's not? How about if he wins next year?

But, it seems that most organized violence actually comes from the other direction: the LEFT. We don't have crowds of conservatives harassing lefties in public places or even at their homes. We don't have conservatives attacking people - including kids and the elderly - for wearing an article of clothing - nor do we have conservatives donning black clothing and masked to attack Dem supporters while local cobs stand down.

I'd be far more concerned about violence if Trump does get impeached and found innocent or if he wins next November.

For just about every stupid idea out there, no matter how incredibly stupid, you can almost always find a handful of people who believe it.

It's always ifs with you people. Don't you ever deal in any real facts?

I guess the people in these 36 cases and other acts of violence are lefties? Why do you think Trump winning or losing would cause any kind of civil war in the Unites States, that POS isn't that important, only perhaps in your mind and those of his loyal followers.

But a nationwide review conducted by ABC News has identified at least 36 criminal cases where Trump was invoked in direct connection with violent acts, threats of violence or allegations of assault.

If by support you mean applaud his removal, hell yes. No to violence from the knuckledraggers.

Thirty six isolated cases? Meh. Any of them a case of shooting at a group of republicans practicing baseball? Or dems getting kicked out of restaurants? Or gangs of republicans stalking a dem's home? Any of them sound organized enough to actually start riots if Trump wins?

If this is where we are it underlines the statement, it will take a very long time to undo the divisions in this nation Trump has caused no matter what the Senate does.

A statement made every four years!

If he's convicted for what? That would be rather important in such a decision.

LOL, sure. :roll: WTF is the "investigative fund"? What's their criterion for "domestic terrorism acts"?

Should be, but probably is not in the context of where this disaster of a discussion is going.

Very interesting that you dodged the OP's question with one of your own. Would you care to finally answer it?

 

[Josie]

Start a civil war over a loud-mouthed misogynist being removed from office? Pfft.

A thinking American would see the fear mongering from BOTH SIDES!!!! It is the reason this country is a mess. It is NOT DONALD TRUMP who is the cause of the stupidity in this country.

Well then, go ahead and post a few links that claim that Left wing violence is far more prominent than Right wing violence.

This isn't specifically directed at you but more of a comment in general: Civil War II is not going to happen any time in the near future.

First of all, fantasies of defecting US military officials are just that, fantasies. Do people not realize that our military has not only the most advanced weaponry but the most advanced AI psychological evaluation tools that money can buy? How you sleep, how you eat, how you talk--AI can be used to analyze and predict future behavior from that. Do people not realize that corporations are starting to use computer algorithms to predict which employees will stay and which ones will quit? Just imagine how much more advanced our military is in that regard. They will soon be able to predict to a high level of accuracy whether someone will desert or defect before they even decide to. All they need is data, and guess who has access to the best data collection and spying on the planet? So the military is going to stay squarely on the union side with isolated betrayals at best.

No state will leave the union. Not at least until there's some kind of constitutional amendment to allow that to happen. The economic consequences would be catastrophic. Airports would become ghost towns. Border checks would be necessary at every single state line between the defecting state(s) and the remaining state. You know how much the South loves college football? The NCAA would cancel all games of all schools in defecting states in the name of player safety. Even if schools played on, the TV deals, the arrangements with the multi-billion-dollar NFL and NBA, the merchandising would all be taken away. And don't think for one second that corporate offices wouldn't flee potential war zones.

At best, these right-wing extremists would commit acts of stochastic or sporadic terrorism. We already have solutions for dealing with terrorism.

1. Of course, I would NOT support violence.

2. I am 82 years old. So I remember the murders of several prominent people. Most people were sad, but they certainly did not engage in any violence as revenge.

3. I was in Los Angeles during the riots during the early 1990s when some cops were acquitted of beating someone.

a. Most of the rioters were just intent on stealing merchandise. They could not have cared less about "injustice."

4. If President Trump is convicted, many of us will be disappointed that his enemies (and the enemies of democracy) will have succeeded in their coup d'état, but I do not have any personal affection for President Trump. He has not been a role model for future presidents.

5. Of course, there will be bitterness. And only God (AKA Fate) knows what the eventual consequences will be. I hope, of course, that the leaders of the coup get their (non-violent) comeuppance in some form that one cannot currently imagine.
