A Republican state senator has called for “civil war” if Donald Trump loses the presidential election in November.
George Lang, an Ohio politician, made the comment as he introduced JD Vance at his first solo campaign event since becoming Trump’s running mate.
After taking to the stage fist-raised and shouting Trump’s post-shooting battle cry “Fight! Fight!”, Mr Lang warned of an existential threat facing Americans. He declared in front of a large, heated crowd in Ohio: “We are in the fight for the soul of our nation… for our kids, for our grandkids, it is a fight we can never imagine.
“I believe wholeheartedly, Donald Trump and Butler County’s JD Vance are the last chance to save our country. Politically, I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country.”
The issue is the constitution is now toilet paper, and it doesnt mean anything anymore. So to say that the people that want to go back to when it was a real thing are the extremists is a frame shift and an ideological difference.
I would agree with you that many would gleefully mow down waves of american citizens, but I dont think it would be all or probably even more than half. And its not that it would be a declared war its just that states would start ignoring federal laws and degrees. Its also just an unwinnable war and everyone loses.
