Four states could secede from US, join Canada

[IndigoErth]

Even if some internet wackos salivate over the idea of a new civil war, and were really hopped up on that idea a handful of years ago...honestly, I don't feel like this nation even has it in it to do it. Localized riots and conflicts, sure, but nationally? Nah. Who has time for it? Most people are probably either too busy, too lazy, too tired, and/or really don't want to see that happen to this nation, nor be involved.

Many of those who'd actually want it and would jump right in are probably those wackos and basement dwellers looking for a purpose. Edgelords who own $20 mall wall hanger 'katanas,' imagining themselves some kind of badass, or other weapon stockpiles fit for a zombie apocalypse.


Even if January 6th didn't culminate in all that some people may have hoped for, it's really not the kind of events we need more of in the history books, and there's nothing to say that it can't embolden people to be worse another time.

The U.S. population is over 330 million, a handful (in the thousands at best?) aren't going to make a difference. It's impossible in the modern day to have any real civil war anyway, you'd have to have half the states form their own militia and that's not happening,

No it was pretty obvious to me immediately. I think everyone’s take on it probably has to do with how biased the media they’re relying on is.

Jesus. How soft can you be? This is an insurrection: https://www.britannica.com/event/202...ar-coup-d-etat

Real weapons, real soldiers, real strategy, real results. Not a literal clown show with hicks on diabetes meds.

So it doesn't count as attempted insurrection because the guys behind it were too stupid? Okay.

Because they weren’t armed or organized. They had no real plan.

Weren't they supposed to find and kill Mike Pence since he was ignoring Trump's order to 'stop the count' or something of that affect?

Ok, but again with what weapons?

I also would like to point out that they had zero leadership (other than the capitol police opening doors for them lol). Trump said “fight like hell” or whatever, dipped out, then got on twitter and told everyone to go home and be peaceful.

And before anyone comes at me, I’m extremely left wing and voted Green Party this year. Not a Trump guy, I just don’t fall for the media BS.

Yup, there's videos of people there that day threatening harm to him or directly saying to hang him, and many chanting to bring him out (which prob would have ended very badly), since he didn't listen to Trump and do what he legally could not do in Trump's favor.


There WAS that gallows and noose constructed on the Capitol grounds that day... Some sign posted on it seen in wider shots stated "this is art," but that matters little if it helps get ideas in people's heads and is potentially functional. "Art" is just as easily an excuse in that case as someone being an asshole to you and then excuses it as "joking."


Still amazes me that Pence continued to bow down later and never really spoke out, tiptoeing delicately around with what little he dared say, despite the real threat to his own life. What, afraid that the voters you like to appeal to, but now want to hang you, won't support you anymore if you say too much? That's like some crazy kind of political Stockholm syndrome...

Seeems pretty obvious doesn’t it?

Right, instead the US are trying to persuade other countries to join (who in their right mind would want to join this **** show?) while the bit of protest against oligarchy is laughable.

I’m aware. I’m just pointing out how laughable this was in hindsight.
