Trump supporters have taken a little red pill. They will arm and they will create a mess. The Cult is alive and very well. Republicans supporting Trump in his lies are many that gives credibility to his idiots. This is going to get worse. Trump is desperate. He will make it worse mark my words winter is coming and it's going to be horrible. Not only from the virus.

I think COVID will take them out or disable them for a while.

You mean the melinated people who voted in higher numbers for Trump than in 2016? Whether that was because Joe/Kamala are secret cops who'll throw all the Black people in jail, because Joe/Kamala didn't support reparations to be paid in summer 2021, or because "defund the police" doesn't play well outside of under 40 activists, I don't know. But Dems would do well to figure out why the blue wave turned into a red trickle outside the top-line race.

There's also several steps between "Virginia 1861", "Yugoslavia 1990", and complete peace and quiet. "Belfast 1972" and "Jamaica 1980" are but a couple of the stops.

FWIW, Q's been quiet since the election (two weeks now) and there's a decent chance that leads to more splintering. The Proud Boys have broken into two (Prouder Boys?) as some decide open racism is the way to go. Could be the Civil War starters are going to turn on each other before they turn on society.

Caveat: All bets are off if a state legislature actually tries to send a rogue slate of electors or if Trump refuses to leave on January 20.

I don't really think DCUM is on the radar for foreign influence operations.

I went to buy aluminum foil for our turkey today. The store was sold out. Said a bunch of mumbling anxious fidgety people bought them out. Are you doom and gloom nuts all wearing foil hats?

Trump's idiots have loose lips. He's planning on war period. Chaos to the 10th degree. Next fews weeks it is going to be ugly.

He will never conceed and Republicans will support this.

As those donations poor in the GRIFTER IS NOT LETTING HIS INCOME STREAM DIE OUT.

Welcome to Trump world 2021.

Wow, I never realized that DCUM had stupid posters. This is one of the dumber things ever posted on this site.

and to the other poster.

As someone who has survived a war that started very similarly to what is happening here today, I can tell you that it is very much possible. I hope it doesn't happen, but you'd be a total fool not to consider it a real possibility.

OP, yes, it's totally wise not to be in a city.

This looks NOTHING like the start of a civil war. Get back to watching your PBS documentaries.

Agreed, sometimes I wonder how I can stand to live here surrounded by people who are so out-of-touch with reality... There will be nothing like a civil war unless the Ds control the Senate and start messing with the foundations: electoral college, adding States, packing the Court. In that case, the Red States will be tempted to secede because there will be no point to being part of the United States. Even then there won't be a Civil War because who would fight for the Democrats?

First, who would care if they seceded anyways? Second, the Democrats would get who they always get to fight for them ... the minorities.

Trump supporters are too fat and lazy to do anything but drink beer infront of their TVs during the winter.

Then there are those of us who are neither white nor rich enough to easily flee. While you’re being dismissive about “ fantasies”, do you have any actual practical suggestions?

No, my plan in the event of an actual shooting war in the streets of D.C. is to (a) hide in my house, (b) try to drive to some place where there isn't an actual shooting war in the streets, or (c) just die as a result of it. I think it's extremely unlikely to happen, but I also don't have the slightest idea how to prepare for it if it does.

Thank goodness I am saved! My neighbors and I can travel up and down the street using our rooftops. And it provides good sightlines.

Armor is toob heavy to be moving between rooflines. You’ll want to instal steel cover railed to give you cover from gun fire below

Actually, yes. Lots of crazy people released from prison due to COVID or don't you remember?

Really? You set up policies that enable minority communities to battle each other in large swaths of impoverished communities.

Come out of the foothills for a minute and leave your white privilege behind.

No, you just do gang wars.

Anyhow, do you think Trump will be tried for treason once he’s out of office? He’s toeing the line currently.
