He needs to take the gloves off. The traitors are literally acting out their plan for a civil war and democrats are waiting there bent over to take it.
"We keep letting other people make the world worse, and no one seems to love us for it. What gives?"
As shit as trying nothing is, it's still better than trying hatred, which is why I am still motivated to vote.
I mean, that's kind of what happened with the last civil war too.
In what way is this like what happened with the civil war? States started leaving the union before Lincoln was even in office, not 3 years into his term
IIRC, the secessions were preceeded by a period where it was sort of an open secret of what's gonna happen, with stuff like future confederate generals transferring cannon stock to southern bases, and moving themselves and their families south, and the North by and large stood by and let it happen under the rationale that "we shouldn't anger them, they may still come around". To the point that, again, IIRC, the commander of Fort Sumter saw trouble brewing across the river and requested reinforcements just before the war, and was turned down.
Then after the Civil War, we treated the treasonous States with kid gloves and allowed them to openly idolize their traitorous leaders, leading to where we are now.
The democratic party is complicit as far as I am concerned.
