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.”
Oh no! What will we do if morbidly obese 70 year-old slobs who are so afraid of cities that they think they need a gun to visit San Francisco start a civil war? How will we ever defeat the sandy vagina brigade that thinks a reality TV host is a big a strong man?
San Fran? I live in rural America and I see twits like this at the grocery store. They are too scared to go buy a gallon of milk without being strapped.
Odds are there will be no real civil war. The assault on the capitol only worked because Trump was in power letting it happen, and even then they didn’t get too far. A lot of those assholes went to prison.
Go vote and let them attack the US gov.
People are too comfortable to have a civil war. People will rebel when they’re hungry, jobless, and have zero prospect for the future.
It’s gonna have to get a lot worse before then if a war were to happen.

Things were not going well in 1860 for black people.
Also, the north couldn’t compete economically with the south because the south had all the free labor and longer growing season.
It was my understanding that the North was economically surpassing the South leading up to the Civil War as they embraced technological advancements in transportation, manufacturing, and agriculture.
They were still struggling to compete with the free labor of the south if I am not mistaken.

Those blockades came in 1861, but for decades prior, the white people in the south prospered off of their free labor. The south was wealthy and its economy was rapidly growing. That all went to shit for them when as you said the UK stopped buying their cotton.

Yea pretty much… a good time for the white men of property at least.
A lot of those assholes went to prison.
Except one particular asshole that is still running for Presidency.
God… them doing it again and thinking Trump will just pardon them again and the cops will “Stand down”…
That would…
Believe people when they tell you who they are
I believe them and that’s why I want to have them start a civil war. It’s the best way to purge these elements and it won’t take days to do so, more like minutes.
What are they going to do? Shoot up a grocery store?
If it’s closer than the middle school
Any place they think a lot of the Blahs or Teh Gheyz go to…
Why would they want to lose immediately after losing…I mean, I don’t want to kink-shame, but I don’t see the logic…
Put him out front so he can get the first shot
Never happen. He’s a fortunate son.
Shouldve learned to keep his head down and mouth shut then
Don’t the remember what happened the last time they tried a little civil war?
2% of the population died.
“…it is a fight we can never imagine.”
What does that even mean?
From the prologue, we can infer they’ll be shooting at each other.
We do not negotiate with……what was that again?
Was it theorists?
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.
Executive orders not needed, there are actually crimes they can be charged with but for the federalist society plant running DOJ
Call your Senators and Representatives and give them an earful about this. If they shrug you off or they are on the side of those calling for civil war, then let other gov’t officials know.
We collectively need to stop allowing these shit lords from getting away with putting the idea of war against each other into the minds of those that otherwise know it’s wrong but just follow groupthink
I mean, you’re totally right until the last paragraph. I don’t think Biden locking them up by executive order would shut them up. I think it’s more likely that would spark the civil war they’re so desperate to have. They’re like Kyle Rittenhouse, just waiting for an excuse to shoot a leftist.
Sorry, it doesn’t read with inflection properly I guess. I guess just every time some random trying to curry favor with Trump calls for violence or a Civil War, that there should be punishment. Seems Biden can do that now milli-vanilli, and he should use it for some good.
Will Biden be doing the lip-syncing in this situation or is he the actual band?
That and the Supreme Court gets to decide what king powers are legal, and who gets to exercise it. And its not Biden
I see people constantly saying that democracy will end, there wont be elections again, they will do all kinds of evil things, etc. How is that not ramping up rhetoric for violence?
Trump has specifically said these things. The Project 2025 psychos have said these things. Those are threats. Therefore, that is a threat to democracy, and democracy ending. So again, it’s only coming from one side, the MAGA clowns.
So how then how does your team claiming democracy will end if they win not ramp up rhetoric for violence?
I have no idea what this even means…
If Trump is orange Hitler then it would be good stop him by any means necessary. If your claim is “If Trump takes power that will end democracy” how is that not rhetoric for violence?
Because the Democrats aren’t out there saying “HEY, WE NEED A FUCKING CIVIL WAR AND TO START KILLING PEOPLE WHO ARENT ON BOARD WITH OUR NAZI V2 BULLSHIT!”, those are Trump’s cronies saying this shit.
The Democrats are out there saying to show up and vote.
Big fucking difference, and the pedantry of your question says you’re trying to troll, or completely ignorant at best if you can’t tell the difference on your own. WTF.
So the rhetoric does not increase violence just as long as you agree with it?
I was saying that after Jan 6.
Historically speaking, not purging your opposition after an attempted coup or change of power is one of the dumbest decisions you can make, second only to putting/leaving the opposition in positions of power and also making them your successor.
In American history, we saw it with Lincoln, resulting in his assassination and the end of reconstruction, and less dramatically, we saw it when Obama (and more recently Biden) left like half of Bush’s appointees in power, who immediately use their power to sabotage the administration.
One minor, but important distinction:
Yes, the alt right and Republicans generally have been ramping up violent rhetoric. They broke the social contract and thus are no longer covered by it.
They are now valid targets of violence.
It’s a subtle distinction but important one and one we on the left must be careful to employ because the Alt-right will use any violence against them and will respond in kind.
Oh? It isn’t the pen is mightier than the sword?
The penis mightier
These people are still using crayons
They would, but they ate the whole box and now are crying they were taken by immigrants
but you lost the last one
Civil War against who? Super PACs?
So they’re moving on to this to scare people from voting because they know they’re absolutely fucked right now. Fuck that nonsense, VOTE. Volunteer to help give rides to people that otherwise wouldn’t be able to vote.
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.
Lol, no. Does “you are understanding is correct” sound correct to you? Because you’re means you are.
Haha whops, you’re right! I guess I was mad tired when I commented.
I think I read that as “you’re understanding correctly” or something. But whatevs. Sorry.
incorrecting (v) - the act of attempting to correct someone with incorrect information, causing hilarity to ensue.
Thats a good one right their.
I deserve it.
That should be grounds for immediate disqualification. It won’t be because the previous one happened anyway even though there was ample warning.
Calling for the overthrow of the government because you lost an election should be grounds for something much harsher than just disqualification.
But apparently it’s not.
That should be grounds for arrest for insurrection and treason.
As a Latin American it is so surreal to see American politicians behave the same way as their counterparts in countries like Nicaragua and Venezuela, hopefully things are not going to go down this route
