It's never the right starts revolutions; always the left.
I just read an op-ed by three retired generals (WaPo, today, don't have a subscription) saying that another coup after an election will throw the country into civil war. It certainly did last time! With Lincoln and the day-after secessions. But these must have been unusual leftwing generals, because they thought it would be the RIGHT doing the coup and some of the military would follow them, some the left, and KABOOM.
This is silly and bad historical analysis, and certainly did not happen last time!! Yep, it was an election, true enough, and leftwing abolitionist Lincoln won, and as of the following day, the trek out of the U.S. started. THAT, kiddoes, was NOT a revolution. THAT was plain secession, and very orderly, with conferences all around, and northern friends escorting Southern senators to the trains and saying goodbye and the whole Lee thing (he was asked to lead the Northern Army of the Potomac; he demurred) very gentlemanly.
Had the North let the South go, no war. Didn't ----- six months later, Bull Run. Oooops, the South won.
So these silly modern generals never learned history! They are saying that if BIDEN (or whomever rotten socialist they put up) wins, the Right will immediately try for a coup and divide the military. WHAT??? The right never, never, never, never, never starts a civil war. I wish someone would disprove me, because I am right! The left starts every single one, because revolutions are radical and so are leftists! So all that could happen is that if TRUMP wins (or a Trump-like substitute: DeSantis, I'm looking at you) the left would start a civil war. With a coup?? With the MILITARY? Would they be so crazy? Surely they wouldn't secede: we'd love that. I suppose it would be the usual way, riots and more riots, mostly black? They'd have to invade the suburbs: that's real hard to imagine, because we'd shoot them, surely. I just don't believe any of this. I think a split-up is coming, too, but these retired generals are full of it. They need to read more.
