Imo the best option is to back politicians and political structures like ranked choice voting specifically to get out of this shit. Republicans manufacture consent by convincing delusional cultists that the Democrats are this evil satan worshipping cult out to literally kill them all, and then Democrats manufacture consent by going "We're the only party that aren't Republicans!" and at that point, who the fuck can you vote for truly to get meaningful action?

Ultimately a system that allows more than just two of the biggest figureheads to be chosen is the best one.

dont listen to this person they intentionally say dumb shit to get a rise out of you

So now the resident calls half the country a clear and present danger while looking like a fascist/communist with military standing behind him and spent the entire last week repeating how anybody who didn't vote for him is a threat to democracy. And the left cheers it on. So predictable.

It's obvious the left wants a civil war considering it's all that the media seems to want to talk about all week. Hate to disappoint the local leftist trolls, but it isn't gonna happen. This just shows that this is all the left has going into the midterms. No candidate wants Biden to campaign for them or even endorse them.

The Red Speech was a desperation move, pure and simple. There was a reason no network station carried it. It was sold as a presidential address but ended up being a campaign speech with the military illegally used as props.

It is nice to see more clearly the disdain the left views their fellow countrymen and their willingness to use violence to accomplish their goals.

to be honest:
like trump said, but applied in this different context, there is the need for a neutral "special master" to decide who the facists are.
maybe someone from another country, one who knows a lot about facists and hitler :)

I still can't understand Democrats calling for civil war. The last one didn't work out so well for them.

Because modern Dems are the ones flying confederate flags, right? Not exactly a winning argument there bud.

Are you saying that Dems from the past have reincarnated as Republicans? Is that how the karma works?

The people flying those flags would probably handle a civil war better than the city dwellers. So no, I think it's still accurate.
Both statements cannot be accurate, they contradict one another. So I'll take this as you conceding that Republicans lost the last civil war.

That's how the party switch worked, yes. The Dixiecrats became Republicans because Democrats started pushing big tent messaging. Republican candidates have been using the Southern Strategy in elections ever since.
