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.”
If we have another civil war, we can learn from our biggest mistake too.
Finish Reconstruction.
We can accept their secession, conquer them, and then keep them as territories. During that time, we can enact policy that helps all Americans. Restore fairness standards in news reporting, wipe out the KKK, pass a voter’s bill of rights, tax churches equally, replace FPTP with IRV, and abolish the electoral college.
If we don’t address the brainwashing, it’ll happen a third time too. They can have a little bit of authoritarianism if they want it so much.
Obligatory - FUCK ANDREW JOHNSON.
Haha that would be wild!
Problem this time is, it isn’t quite as clear cut geographically. Even in red states like Georgia, you have MILLIONS of Democrats.
