The share of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents who believe that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was not legitimate has ticked back up, according to a new CNN poll fielded throughout July. All told, 69% of Republicans and Republican-leaners say Biden’s win was not legitimate, up from 63% earlier this year and through last fall, even as there is no evidence of election fraud that would have altered the outcome of the contest.
Civil War is inevitable.
One side are boomers who think they know everything but can’t tell a record from a CD…
I think we will be fine when it happens
We need a version of r/liberalgunowners on Lemmy. I legit miss them alongside r/Polandball
Polandball didn’t even protest during the two blackout days :(
Bring it on i say. We’re armed too. The tree of liberty is thirsty.
If your “we” is Democrats, then you may want to think twice before running head long into battle. Gun ownership among Republicans outnumbers Democrats more than two to one. That figure is per person and not a gun count per household, which is much higher with 2/3 of the gun-owning population owning more than one gun.
The only way you’ll win is by persuading the swing vote as Independent gun ownership is almost as high as the Republicans. But you probably won’t get all the Independents because a lot of them are right-leaning.
All that is to say that while I don’t expect us to ever get in a combative civil war, and I hope we don’t, I also think it’s in everyone’s best interests if no one is thirsty for one either.

If I were considering the most important factors for CW2 it’d be:
yes a civil war between diet nazis too cowardly or feeble to serve in the military vs people who want gun control. should be an interesting fight where no matter who wins, America loses.
I’m not convinced the North ever won. It’s just been a long ceasefire.
100%, the worst thing we ever did was reconstruction and letting the traitors back in the union. And yes I agree a huge amount (if not the majority) of our problems trace straight back to the war! The Mason-Dixon line is still relevant. #SadFacePalm
