Civil War thoughts

I think there is a real possibility – even a likelihood – of Trump pushing the country into another civil war.

Project 2025 will be wildly unpopular and will meet a lot of resistance from the general population and have to be enforced by the military and police. And despite some understandable ACAB attitudes and skepticism of the military, not all military personnel or cops will want to be a part of that.

The proposed economic policies are going to be catastrophic at their worst and merely deeply bad at their best. Or at least they will be that for everyone not in the Trump circle.

So, there will be economic turmoil and efforts at a police state at the same time.

This won’t go over well.

I don’t think this possible civil war will be a succession of states or violence from “liberals” butt hurt over the 2024 election. It will be a more general shattering and collapse.

And Trump’s savvy enforcers and planners know this is likely, will start killing dissenters as soon as they can.

I hate to us this line but… change my mind.

The lazy don’t revolt. So long as jalapeño poppers are ready and available

Sadly, I think much of what is in project 2025, will not bother in the slightest, those in the military or the police. The only way you are going to see civil unrest is if people who hold a monopoly on violence already, are being affected by these policies.

Seriously this take is wack. Look around you and realize a majority of the people you see voted in fascism. Restart your analysis from there.
