And now we have armed militias placing illegal roadblocks around a county to "stop lefties and antifa" with the police tacitly approving and doing nothing to stop them... God how I wish a well armed guerrilla group of "lefties" would introduce these pieces of shit to their maker!!
I for one would be perfectly happy to see him carried out of the white house in a body bag.
I'd far prefer him to live to experience defeat and humiliation.
It wouldn't hurt my feelings if that involved confinement too.
I think that has the potential to cause legal, constitutional, and eventually domestic terror related turmoil. COVID could do the job for us.
It's not really "around the country". Probably just a couple of stretches of rural highway in the middle of nowhere.
This is the same kind of rhetoric as "cities on fire"...
The army will be uncertain of which way to jump. The people are going to have to boot him out their own selves.
Yes it does. Two sides each convinced a 'win' by the other will be illegitimate and unacceptable.Sounds like civil war...
The interview with Chomsky in the current New Statesman includes his assertion that "top level Republicans and Democrats" have been wargaming and "every scenario that they can think of except a Trump victory leads to civil war." Reminders have been sent to a number of military leaders of their duty under the constitution if Trump refuses to leave office. It still hardly seems credible, but what seemed like a joke to some of us is looking anything but.
"Around the COUNTY" was what I said

My problems with that assessment are first that small groups can have big impact especially if no one stands up to them, and 2) it's far from clear that the police and military will stand up to them. I recall the example of Italy at the time of Mussolini's uprising, which could have been easily quashed by the army, but wasn't.These are small groups getting a lot of attention. It's up to the police and military to deal with them.

One thing that does seem to distort is the relentless coverage of Trump's "daddy needs love" rallies. The booing of him outside of the tributes to RBG seemed a rarity to outside eyes. Any coverage of Trump is usually in front of his brain dead followers waving placards they have been handed or with a helicopter drowning out anything.
I'm sure this is because Trump refuses to go anywhere else, but should the MSM be playing this game?
Interesting article from Friedland in the Guardian about how the US could break apart

seems quite plausible to me. The comments are a good read too, lots of thoughtful posts.
