After today's events it has me wondering if the right and left will lead us into war..not the calmer minds that say just let people protest and sit down and figure it out..but the alt right and alt left ...like we saw unravel today....The 3% militia and the NFAC coaltion....just one out of kink person in either of those groups could have caused a major massacre..

It makes me wonder how anyone can think that allowing open carry like this is a smart idea?

So....do you think that these types of groups will lead us to a Civil War?

1) Yes

2) No

3) lots of people may die, but no war

4) Other, explain
 
No, you need something big to fight a war over. The people in Portland don't even know why they're rioting, for example.


Slavery is a big enough issue to fight a war over. Our Civil War was fought over slavery.

No way. The military is not going to split along party lines because of this idiot Trump. Will there be pissed off white Trump supporters doing stupid things? Yes. Will there be pissed off BLM people doing stupid things? Yes. But they cannot turn us against each other to the point where we kill our friends and neighbors because of politics. No sir, this is not a civil war, this is a reckoning, a time for good people to stand together and say we want to be better and dammit, lets get it done together. Don't listen to morons, it turns you into a moron if you pay too much attention to them.
 
Really depends on how events unfold, if one side or the other pushed too had there could be serious violence. That said, with the original civil war we were mostly divided along State lines, today the sides live next to each other, not sure how that would even be possible on a large scale.

Interestingly enough there is now a wall of Veterans protecting protesters similar to the Wall of Moms..

Why wouldn't Veterans be as politically diverse as the electorate?
Especially when it is likely that those Veterans are from the same local area?

"wall of Veterans"

Likely Antifa in different clothes.

No matter...as soon as they ignore an order to disperse they'll be a wall of criminals.
 
If we do it is not going to be because of the left, or the right, or the rUsSiAnS but corrupt politicians who steal from the American people to give to their corporate and fascist handlers.

Well, now we know what the Q-Anon talking point about it is...
 
1-54% of black Americans are middle to upper middle income. Despite the histrionics of the idiot left, the majority of black Americans dont want **** all to do with a 'revolution' that will drag their ass down to the ****holes they have worked so hard to escape from.

2-Considering the NFAC shot each other today forming up ranks, I'd say they are proving themselves to really be not ready for prime time. Keep in mind...you are talking about a bunch of people that have are carrying short barreled shotguns and 22lrs (and on video marching with their weapons with live rounds jammed in the breach). No...Other than the attempted appearance of being badass, I dont see much of a real threat of them starting anything. And again...they ****ing SHOT each other today....

sooooooooo.......

No you don't.

Thats ****ing hilarious. I cant imagine the stupidity of anyone that would actually believe that everything that is happening today was actually orchestrated by Bannon. Which also indicates whoever WROTE that idiotic drivel also believes all the leftists morons out there protesting and rioting are so ****ing stupid that they all got played.

Hmmm... well if I were a resident of that city, I'd organize a "wall of veterans" to "peacefully" stand in the way of those trying to attack Federal property.

We'd also be unarmed but linked arm-in-arm. I wonder if those protesters (rioters) would respect OUR peaceful action to prevent approach to harm Federal agents and Federal (i.e. OUR shared) property?

I voted 4) Other, explain.

I don't think 3% militia and the NFAC "types" of groups will lead us to a civil war.

I think that BLM is race-baiting a race war and that the two groups will be the huge groups of each race, Black and White.

"Black lives matter!" to me.

But BLM is a marxist cult, from what I've read, whose goal is to disrupt American society and the rule of law in the hope of taking violent control, and their manipulating emotionally immature and gullible Gen. Z young people with their anti-racism false pretext to be their unwitting footsoldiers.

Even if most people say "No!" to a race war and it's fought by a small percentage of the population, BLM's leaders are still Marxists, Marxists who strive for violent overthrow by their nature, and they've egregiously and racistly cast Whites as the oppressors and Blacks as the oppressed and their behavior in the streets in June and July strongly validate their attempt at violent takeover to liberate their oppressed.

Right now there are social media posts warning White people of BLM's obvious race-war approach .. and gun sales are through the roof.

If BLM doesn't cease and desist, they will most definitely get the race war they're baiting .. and more than they bargained for.

That's what I'm afraid of.

We must do all we can to get a race war stopped before it really gets going.

My recommendation is to have BLM stop its street actions and their witch hunt "cancel culture" activities in universities and other institutions .. and let's try to find a better way to address remaining racial inequities.

If they don't stop soon, an American disastrous race war will set back race relations for maybe a couple hundred years .. or more .. if it doesn't shut so much of the economy down that China will easily take us over first. :shock:

Correct assessment wrong people. The leftists on the ground taking over BLM are the ones waging low grade war. The lazy assholes who call themselves journalists are are exacerbating the situation with their banal reporting of misinformation. They dont even bother to to check and confirm information anymore.

You are videographer NO? Have you not seen the full videos of the Portland actions? Every one I have seen is the Feds responding to physical attacks on their persons or the facility. These people in the "Walls of whatever" see this, and are adding and abetting it are they not. Attacking people and property last I checked was not peaceful.



Portland protests have no goal except violence and anarchy

They would likely throw stuff at you (bricks, chunks of concrete, fireworks, etc.)

I guarantee you that if the only videos you're seeing come from Fox News, you have no idea what you're talking about, and your skewed narrative isn't going to impress me.
Yes, of course the anarchists are having a field day, as they always do.
Your attempt to paint ALL of the protesters as such is only proving that you listen to idiots.
And I am not here as the Idiot Whisperer.
The reason "every one [you] have seen is the Feds responding to physical attacks on their persons or the facility" is because you only look for videos where feds are being attacked. You think people don't read the crap you write in this forum?

PS: That's not an "officer", it's a private contractor who is employed by Triple Canopy, and the day Triple Canopy shows up at your home, you will be OPENING FIRE on them.
I have zero sympathy for Erik Prince's paramilitary goons.
The reason their boss moved to a non-extradition country (UAE) is so he can coordinate stuff like this without being held accountable, after he got into hot water with Blackwater.

And as long as his goons keep treating Americans as if they are Iraqis, it's going to get worse and worse, for the goons.
They aren't cops and they aren't soldiers, they're mercenaries, and mercenaries are the lowest form of life that walks the Earth.

And when you unleash mercenaries on the streets of this country you will eventually get to watch mercenaries DIE.

You are exactly the kind of hypocrite I expected you to be.
So much for your rants about tyrannical government overreach.
The only reason you're all butt hurt is because Fox instructs you to think all these people are "leftist terrorists".
