Voting Republican doesn't mean they'll become traitors.
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

In 1970 I was running up and down a river in South East Asia with four or five other sailors. We had a variety of small arms, and an 81 mm mortar and 105mm recoiless rifle. But even better, I had a radio. And sixteen B-52s so far above me I could barely see them. When I used the right code they would dropped their shit where I told them to drop it.

A bunch of drunks with guns wouldn't stand any more chance than a bunch of my fraternal socialist brothers in black pajamas.
I hope you are right! And I hope I'm wrong!

I think it was Beaver Creek, a few years back, where the "militia" flexed its one muscle and became a laughing stock.

I missed that one.

I just tried googling it, and couldn't find it. There was something about a woman who tried to go from Alaska to Canada carrying a gun, but that was about it, other than revolutionary war stuff.

Ah, that one. Yeah, I remember that from a couple of years back. They were treated with kid gloves until they went just over the line and overstayed their welcome.

Your right, I think it means they already are.

Those who voted for Trump in 2016 were just dupes. Those who vote for Trump in 2020 will be traitors.

Plan was to not make them martyrs. Worked. They wound up looking like drunks with guns. Inevitably.

I swore an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign or domestics. I have not disavowed that oath. (I'm also smart enough to leave the headbreaking to younger men.)

Party doesn't tell you much.  Usually villains don't have a Big V on their foreheads.  Not even Democrats ;-)  The leadership of the parties .. I am less sanguine.  Those who are close to the cookie jar, usually are crummy.

Yes, I agree with your definition.  What I was trying to impart is that in this case--right here and right now--what trump and his followers call a civil war would be more like country wide guerilla warfare than our last Civil War.  Anyway--do you think I am like Chicken Little--running around yelling about the sky falling??

You already saw this from 1981 to 1995.  Mostly in Oklahoma and Texas.  Hinkley to Koresh to McVeigh.
