They'd better be fucking practicing for civil war.

They have no chance. Trump is losing supporters faster than the Miami Marlins after a home game.

You are deluded if you think they will join your side. If the Republicans fracture, which they wont, they will likely rally under another extremist right wing banner and double down on their racism, religion, and aggressive posturing against us.

I mean if there’s a war on Trump, they just don’t have the numbers.

As for the fracture, that will happen as soon as Trump is gone. That’s how cults work. They’ll splinter over the next chump to follow and fall apart.

Actually, polls show him as still around 44-46% in favor, where he’s been pretty much all term. Unfortunately.

If this tariff economic crash doesn’t make his foot-kissing followers break ranks, then nothing will, and it will be civil war.

I don’t trust polls, and I’d recommend you don’t either. There is absolutely no way he has gained support since the election.

Not gained, just held steady. A lot of his supporters think he’s got some kind of master plan to make all the other countries grovel at our feet, and if they have to suffer nobly for the cause so be it.

I swear, Evangelical Christians just aren’t happy unless they’re miserable. Part of their persecution complex I suppose.

The folk showing up to the local range in militia gear tend to get ejected for not following the rules. If you can't so much as keep your gun pointed down range, you haven't got the discipline to go up against any military or conduct an insurgency.
