There's nothing civil about this war.
IIRC another intent was that a 'well regulated militia' would allow the Federal Government to maintain a very small, standing army since the citizens could mob into a militia if anyone made it past the US Navy.
This is the other half of the 2nd Amendment that seems to be mostly ignored.
What's really a shame is the media outlet knows this sells and is willing to foster a deeper and deeper divide in our society because it puts money in their pocket. Go watch the speech. The 'brass knuckles" is plainly not literal as it's in the context of campaigning at multiple levels, working at races that might go either way, etc. The "physical revolution" boils down to "if you don't believe the process works, you might as well start a physical revolution...but to do so is to lose what our country is about so let's revitalize bipartisanship so we don't have that."
Pretty much the exact opposite of calling for a physical revolution. But they'll get clicks, which equals money, and give two fucks less what damage they cause to our country or society. They are like any other polluter, making money without regard to the mess they make for everyone else.
Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.
Maybe political leaders should encourage rock’em sock’em amongst the people. Do we believe society will come together, compromise, and start singing kumbaya around the campfire anytime soon? The path we’re on is dysfunctional at best. It has been 150+ years since we’ve fought in this country. Perhaps a bloody nose from time to time serves the greater good.
I don't think so, because it won't look like Lexington. It'll look like the Murrah Federal Building.
There is no win for another civil war albeit I know righties cheering for it.

@36trap Instead of fighting any sort of civil war where the non-combatants will suffer the worst of it, why can't we peacefully separate into three or four different countries?
Physical revolution!? Baaaahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!
Mea culpa: I was willing to pre-shit on Biden, because, uncle Joe. Now that Sensei and BBI have pointed out the media’s take/stake in this teapot tempest, I’m embarrassed to have been caught up in my own internal jingoism.
I’ll still shit on Biden, because, uncle Joe... but not over this.
Yet again, shame on the "hands up, don’t shoot" media—on both sides. Someone famous once opined that "religion is the source of all mankind’s wars." Maybe... but now that outrage porn has become religion on both ends of the societal candle, the concept is gaining legs.
