That’s where all the engagement and comments can be found, and I’d encourage everyone to participate there.

The reason for THIS post is to direct everyone there.

I’m getting multiple reports that some people can’t see it for some reason. Could be Federation, could be they blocked the user who posted it.

Here’s hoping you all can see THIS one and move over to where everyone else is engaged.

That’s it.

It’s either a trump election win and civil war from him dismantling one too many of the elements of US government.

Or trump looses the election, incites a civil war, and the craziest actually do it.

Either way, as this even proves: Get. Your. Guns. Whilst you still can.

You will find that civil wars in a digitalized surveillance state are very short lived and that the masses don‘t actually hold all that much power apart from the few things they‘re legally allowed to do. So unless tens of millions just stop showing up to work across the country, I don‘t see how the citizens have any leverage whatsoever once the election is over.

Why would Trump losing incite civil war? Who is going to take any weapons from anyone? Who is going to enforce the law? They aren’t going to fight themselves. They want a civil war and they want the Dems to just make one mistake to cause it.

There is no way to say that there will be that many of them. There will be a few. But nothing on a scale of civil war. That’s some dumb neck beard fantasy. If the Dems win it will be ok. Until the next 4 years.

Trump losing would throw the “stolen election” nonsense into overdrive. Hence the civil war.

I hear that. But who is going to enforce it? The cops? The army? I don’t see that happening. They would attack themselves.
