A Republican state senator has called for “civil war” if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.
George Lang, an Ohio politician, made the comment as he introduced JD Vance at his first solo campaign event since becoming Trump’s running mate.
After taking to the stage fist-raised and shouting Trump’s post-shooting battle cry “Fight! Fight!”, Mr Lang warned of an existential threat facing Americans. He declared in front of a large, heated crowd in Ohio: “We are in the fight for the soul of our nation… for our kids, for our grandkids, it is a fight we can never imagine.
“I believe wholeheartedly, Donald Trump and Butler County’s JD Vance are the last chance to save our country. Politically, I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country.”
But the US didn’t have tanks and planes back then. Surely our muskets will be even more effective against those.
The US would win without ever firing a single shot. Cut off electricity, the countless food products we import, imported fuel, cheap products from China, USPS/FedEx/Amazon Prime/etc, and so on. A week of eating gruel in the dark and they’ll be begging to rejoin the US.
Bullfuckingshit. I said it when Trump was shot at, and I’ll keep saying it: only ONE party has been ramping up the rhetoric for violence, and it sure as fuck isn’t coming from Democrats. These morons obviously don’t care if they get shot at again, because it’s not in their minds that they are causing the problem.
This is their M.O. though:
- Identify a target to rant about
- Call for violence
- Say you’re TOTALLY FUCKING SERIOUS THIS TIME
- Apologize and act like that’s enough, knowing what you said will stick with the crowd, but the Democrats aren’t going to call bullshit.
Here’s a thought: Biden uses his last 6 months of King Powers granted by the SC to put everyone of these fuckers in jail by Executive Order on sedition and treason charges, backing it up by making it an “Official Act” since Trump was shot at, and these assholes are trying to get more people shot at. That’ll shut them the fuck up.
Republicans immediately after trump was shot at:
Political violence is never okay.
Republicans 1 week after trump was shot at:
If trump loses we’ll start killing people!
If we lose this election we will need to have a civil war to save the country? So what he’s saying, in essence, is that if Trump can’t get enough support to win an election, his supporters should overthrow the government. Am I understanding that correctly?
Yep. Your understanding is correct.
You’re*
Edit: Brainfart. Please disregard. I suck cocks.
incorrecting (v) - the act of attempting to correct someone with incorrect information, causing hilarity to ensue.
I deserve it.
Kyle Gass makes an edgy joke and he gets canceled. This fucker calls for literal civil war and it’s considered business as usual. Got it.
The temperature is definitely rising. I’d be lying if I said I’d be cool with Republicans succeeding at keeping Harris (or whoever the Dem pick is) off the ballots in any state - we have a questionable democracy right now… we’d definitely not have a democracy then.
Your definition of democracy seems to hinge on your own whims.
Your desperation to invalidate democracy based on a switching of candidates shows two things… 1 shit happens… not too different as the decades pass, and 2 you don’t understand the meaning of “democracy” and are desperate to just talk shit…
Dems switching candidates doesn’t invalidate democracy it just shows how desperate you are to discount it…
What? I’m talking about Republicans suing to keep a democrat off the ticket - that’s a much different ball game than the convention. I want an open process in both arenas without tampering.
Way to completely miss what he said there. He said “with republicans SUCCEEDING AT KEEPING HARRIS OFF OF THE BALLOTS”. How the fuck does this drivel have so many upvotes when it completely misses the argument.
There is a party of people that will argue that we are not a democracy or never were.
And there is a majority of Americans ready to tell those dumb nerds to shut up with their boring nonsense
But since they’ve got a broken electoral system and the billionaires on their side it could go either way
