Trump!

Isn't that kind of like what happened to France during the French Revolution?

Basically the poor got sick and tired of starving to death while people like Queen Marie Antoinette and King Louis the XVI were sitting in their nice cushy palace living the high life so they overthrew the government and killed anybody who stood in their way?

If there was ever a time when an insurrection would have happened, it was the 1930's.

We are not nearly in the same boat as people during the Great Depression.

I don't believe there will be a "race war," or any sort of "war."

I believe, like always, that there will be many pissed-off people----but that fact won't lead to an insurrection.

Yes. The Dark Knight Rises was inspired by 'A Tale Of Two Cities' which was set during the French Revolution.



Currently people believe that the next Recession could be worse than the Great Depression. Not to mention the Great Recession was only 10 years ago, thousands if not billions are still trying to move on from it since it was the worst economic plight since the Depression. Those who experienced the Great Recession were also kids and teenagers who saw their families being destroyed - thus, this hitting them again wouldn't look pretty:



When I was monitoring a counter-protest message board to see what was going to happen - since there were threats from the far right about another Charlottesville near me - I saw and had to talk down an anti-fa member who wanted to go in starting violence. A teenager whose main reasoning was the hardships that the rich had placed upon his family - they weren't after the far right per se, they were after "the elite." Ask others that question and you'll find that they likely agree as per their reasoning, same thing with the far right - people hurt for money and wanting to tear the system down. Charlottesville may have looked like left vs right, but it was at the core poor people fighting poor people over the anger that's been building for years - since for now the system has led them to believe that each other is the "elite."



I just don't see it going on like this forever.

When poor people wake up to realize they've been duped into fighting each other, where do they turn their anger then?

(I should note that - since I am a plutocrat - I don't want this to happen since my family and I would be in serious danger; however, I also wouldn't be the least surprised if it does)

If we do overthrow the rich and powerful the first ones I wanna see put to the guillotine are those annoying celebutantes like Paris Hilton.

But please spare her cute little dogs they haven't done anything wrong.

I’m sure moms demand action, newtown for gun safe, Bloomberg, and other gun banning groups have lots of guns lol.

I said most are and there’s a lot of veterans who are heavily armed and willing to train others and some whole job in military was training small groups to take on their government.

You honestly think most the military will kill their family friends and fellow soldiers for the left who calls them deplorables?

Spooky and others on the left are imaging a grand civil war where the left wipes out and kills all the right, but the right is way way more armed then the left and has way more trained military people then the left. I just find it funny a bunch of sjw who freak out at the slightest issue taking on battled hardened military veterans in combat.
The left wants to ban guns most wont touch a gun, I have 10 guns meaning I can arm 9 people. It’s be like Canada trying to fight a ground war with China, China has way more guns and Tripp’s then Canada.
I just find it super funny the idea of new town for gun safety fighting a civil war against the nra. Shouting love trumps hate while being shot down won’t do anything.
I’m neither right or left but if such a war broke out I’d side with the right.
It won’t happen the people in charge of the left know it’s be a huge loss they want to disarm everyone for this reason.

They wouldn't kill their own families nor would their families partake in an insurrection over an orange turd getting impeached like the right keep threatening. They are welcome to try it. But, it'll just be them vs a whole bunch of government agents and soldiers who have prepped to take down a coup no matter which wing it comes from.

The right have been fantasizing about it for decades since they're still butt hurt over losing the Civil War - so far, nada.

Most soldiers are not nor align with Timothy McVeigh despite many on the right continuously wishing they were.

That’d cause a civil war at federal and state level. Each state would be split fighting each other and the feds would send in troops to support the stay group, leading to all those states being handed over to the gop at the end of the war, so I say yeah let’s do it.
At very least we get the be states of south/east Oregon and north California
Much like how we got West Virginia

I don't believe most people in those states want to be with BC, or be with Canada.

Immediately, under Canadian currency, rents would skyrocket to even higher levels than they are now. It would be a much more expensive place to live in.

You don’t understand or know the military at all. All my military friends and their family would fight agains the left in their stupid power struggle. They conservative not liberal and call liberals liberals and snowflakes
All my friends are in the military or veterans. They would absolutely side with trump over the left any day. So go ahead rise up and try to remove trump with force don’t expect the military to side with you

Half don’t even like being under Democrat’s at least in Oregon.

Nobody's talking about removing Trump by force. Impeachment is not by force. The right continues to threaten to use force if he's impeached.

So, all you have is the narrow group of your friends? I hate to break this to you - but friends stick together because they think alike. So yeah, obviously, they're going to agree with you.

In the North we know soldiers as well who see Trump supporters as backwater hicks, hillbillies, and rednecks who can't even string a sentence together if their life depended on it. That doesn't go to prove nor show anything.

Also this side of the right calling for a "civil war" - the people who are actually pushing for that want their fabled "race war" (not civil war - race war) and anyone would have to be cracked in the head to think many people are going to help with that.

As said, soldiers are not a bunch of Timothy McVeighs, thank God.

I was predicting how a "civil war" might evolve. I think a slide into violent anarchy is more likely.

I think there are too many people that take false comfort in the fact the US has pulled itself out of much worse situations and come out the better for it a number of times. That is no guarantee of anything. In life, the more risks you take the greater chance there is of accomplishing more than you would have otherwise. There is also more of a chance you will make a choice you can't recover from.

On the other hand, I wonder if people are too comfortable with social media and trolling to want to or be able to risk losing everything on any type of mass scale.

Just for the record I don't actually want a war within our own country to happen even though I know I'm the one who brought this up.

I'm really starting to feel depressed just thinking about the possibility of it ever happening.

Agreed:

(1) Far Right looking to start their race war - killing and attacking minorities and blowing up buildings they deem a "threat."

(2) Radicalized minorities including women rioting - LA Riots, Stonewall, Black Friday combined.

(3) Peasant Revolt 2.0 on U.S. soil.

All of which are balancing on the brink. It's too messy to be a war. Just - as you said - violent anarchy and chaos. There's way too many motivations and different groups that could escalate things.

This is the modern Rome burning.

People have been believing there will be revolutions, resurrections, etc. for years.

Frankly, I don't believe most people are committed enough, or their desire to make sacrifices is enough, for there to be an insurrection/revolution of that nature in the United States.
