The winds of Civil War, what it takes to actually get there

[JoeB131]

Biden and the democrats already fucked things up royally with their open borders, 9.2% runaway inflation, and taking the national debt to the absolute limit.

Trump is a genius by comparison. Senile Joe and stupid Kamala are turds by comparison.

Economy was fine when Joe left.

Trump is screwing it up with his Crypto Scams, his tariffs, and his mass government layoffs.

Wake up and smell the coffee, buddy, we are already heading into recession.

Heck, Trump doesn't want to even release the unemployment numbers for the last two months.

Not that we need to the government to tell us with all the mass layoffs going on.

My previous company just let go of 30% of their staff, on top of the 15% they let go of last year.

Prove that’s stemming from this administration…And why…Just throwing that out is misleading…

 

[Crepitus]

Now, a couple of things I know,

1. there are some in here that won't watch the video because it is Glenn Beck that is talking about it.

2. There are some that will come in here to just throw feces and try to blow up the discussion.

3. And there are many from the left in here that want this to come to fruition....

Regardless of all of that, I believe that we need to have this discussion, if not to avoid the path we are on, then to be sure that we can see the signs, and know what is coming...

What say you?

Instead of telling us what "some here" will do, why don't you discuss your own OP?

Do you think we are bound for civil war? Why or why not?

The democrat's shutdown is taking two percentage points off the 3QGDP, if there is a recession its because the democrats blocked Trump's agenda.

Heck, Trump doesn't want to even release the unemployment numbers for the last two months.

BLS can't get the numbers if they aren't at work, duh.

Companies are trimming people they think AI will be able to replace.
I feel bad for new college grads, they are having a very tough time finding jobs.
People might need to switch from college to the technician or trades jobs?

I'll stick with secession. No war. I ain't gonna fight.

I think we are at the beginning of stage 7 out of 9…

Will you defend yourself and your family? You may not have a choice.

Have you seen the recent movie "Civil War"?

I'm an old lady and not likely to be asked to fight, but I live in a nice rural area where folks have been killing dinner for six or seven decades.

The only people suggesting we should have a Civil War are right wing loons and Trumpers

It's hard to refrain from feeling that way.

Just remember, whoever fires the first shot is going to be seen as being on the wrong side, historically.

.

The first shot was fired on Wednesday, June 14, 2017. It happened on a baseball field full of US congressional members. The shooter was a Bernie Sanders supporter and the victim was a representative named Steve Scalise. Luckily he survived and the shooter didn't.

Fully immersed in the Kool Aid aren't you?

Feel free to name the last recession that didn't come as a result of republican policies.

AI Overview



No, presidents do not directly cause recessions, as they are caused by a combination of complex factors like financial crises, supply shocks, and economic cycles
. While presidents influence the economy through policy and can impact consumer confidence, they do not have complete control, and other factors like the actions of the Federal Reserve, global events, and market imbalances are significant contributors. However, the political party of the president has historically been correlated with the occurrence of recessions, with recessions beginning under Republican presidents being more frequent than under Democratic presidents in recent decades.

AI Overview



No, a recession is not currently imminent
, as economic indicators like GDP growth, a strong job market, and low unemployment suggest the economy is stable. While some forecasts predicted a recession in 2025, recent data indicates the possibility has become remote, though slower growth is still expected. However, economists emphasize that a recession is difficult to predict and that some leading indicators, like inflation or a potential "tariff shock," could still pose a risk.

That's nice, but unresponsive.

Name a recession that doesn't come from republican polices.

Watch the video.

 

[XponentialChaos]

We're already engaged in a civil war. One side just hasn't started shooting back.

This kind of ridiculous hyperbole always comes along too.

 

[Crepitus]

Watch the video.

No.

Mods, can we start a “civil war” section so we can direct all of the super unique threads about the upcoming and imminent civil war to that forum?

This would also clear out the various “Libs better not mess with me or I will shoot them” and “It wouldn’t be no war, we would kill all the libs” responses that inevitably come along with them.

Thanks.

As really just a big wiener dog, i will go civil war all over your ass if you try to take my pizza.
