If the majority of people used force to get what they wanted, it would not be any of the shit that the GOP wanted because they are a minority. The only thing protecting them is that society has accepted to change things through voting instead of violence. Fuck with that at your own peril, dumbass.
It’s a little scary that this environment (social media) leads so many to believe that, but it’s just not reality. At best conservative ideology is at parity with liberal ideology in the US. At worst, it’s actually a slight majority and has been on the rise since 2020. I’d rather we avoid Civil War 2.0 at the risk of actually losing this time.
You’re forgetting demographics. The elderly is primarily republican, whereas the 40 and under crowd leans heavily democratic.
Most people won’t fight unless the battle is outside their door anyway, and the people who want war would probably need to cross state lines to accomplish anything, in which case they would be going up against the national guard and not just a bunch of hippies in hatchbacks.
Whoever starts the war, should it be started, will lose it, 100%. It won’t even be a contest.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I would rather live in a fractured nation than a fascist one. Those who would sacrifice liberty for the sake of security deserve neither.

This has been the line for decades, yet here we are with a large conservative population
Either the age split is wrong, or people become more conservative as they age, repopulating the older demo still voting conservative
The age split is just wrong. The left vastly underestimates those motherfuckers to make themselves feel better, and they do it at their own peril.
