      And here I thought I’d come in and struggle to convince people it wasn’t just conservatives itching for a new civil war.

        If the blue collar conservatives would only figure out the rich do not have there best interests at heart there wouldn’t be a war. This is class warfare but most just don’t realize it yet.

          Two of the two most effective ways to control a large group is to give a group (or group) to fear, then convince them that the group/s is coming to take what they have.

          Throw getting them to feel superior to said group/s as a bonus. And bam you have total control…

        Conservatives are itching to commit violence against women, minorities, and political opposition.

        Leftists recognize that medical debt, unaffordable food and rent, climate change, etc. are already forms of violence we’re being subjected to as part of permanent class warfare.

        They are not the same.

        Semantics but the user above you didn’t want a civil war, just the vast majority killing like 800 Billionaires and maybe a few thousand millionaires (not all of them). Personally I don’t think it’s all that feasible, I’d rather just vote blue and tax them out of existence.
