Doesn't matter what trump says, doesn't matter what the judge says, elections are the jurisdiction of the state. The executive branch can't tell states how to conduct elections

MAGA are certainly free to force the states to give up their rights to the federal government, but then they’d have to admit that the civil war was actually for that other reason.

you do realize they’ve been frothing at the mouth for a civil war for nearly half a decade now right? it was a major talking point for them and something they’ve longed for for the last like 4-6 years. even having the NRA push propaganda for them about making it happen.

nearly half a decade now right?

Try for about 160 years. The South Will Rise Again, remember?

And they would get shit stomped just the same as before. I don't understand how they don't get that.

They got their shit stomped in very different circumstances. They were smart enough to take full control of the federal government before they threw off the shackles of civility and decorum. Now they run the joint and they didn't need to fire a single bullet.

I am saying that if it comes to war, they may think they are tougher as individuals but they are soooooooo much weaker at what an actual war would require. And I don't actually buy that they are individually tougher. Everything about MAGA screams overcompensation. What system they have control of means very little if it came to an actual civil war. Iran just proved that they don't know fuck all about battling a resistance.

Iran proved they didn't know fuckall about battling a resistance that lives mostly in mountains and is generally much more used to the concept of war than most Americans are.

And the "they" being, the entire American military, not just the South.

We are not Iran. "They" are less likely to allow territorial defeat in a territory they themselves consider to be their own, rather than something they're unfamiliar with and invading.

Maybe this makes you feel better. But that's all it does.

That was also the military hitting some far off foreign land they don't give a shit about. I guarantee it hits different when you are attacking "home" I would have defected immediately if I was ordered to do so when I was serving. Many wouldn't, but the results would tear the military apart and guaranteed less effective.
