I have alluded to this before, many times. And as I’ve come to terms with the reality that traitor trump will win in 2024, it has become clearer to me how to turn lemons into lemonade — the lemons being another traitor trump administration and the lemonade being a new civil war to remake the nation, provided democratic forces can conquer fascist forces. (Who wins likely depends on who is president when the fighting starts and what states control most of the military-industrial complex. I’ve written about this in a previous post.) On the off-chance that pro-America forces can coalesce around the cause to save our democracy, then we may have a real shot to beat back fascism, but, of course, that all depends on how apathetic citizens remain while living under a dictatorship. (I have 50-50 confidence that people will want to shake off the yolk of oppression, but I’ve been wrong before.) Anyway, another civil war is the only way to restore America’s democracy, but I hope we can prosecute it more thoroughly this time around, unlike the reconciliation B.S. that Lincoln advocated; dead or alive, the ultimate consequences of the Civil War would likely have been the same. We already know what happened upon Lincoln’s assassination: A Southern-born and sympathizing vice president hamstrung reconciliation from the start. Had Lincoln survived, I do not doubt that he would have pursued an equally lenient process to restore Confederate states to the Union when, in fact, the rebel states should have been treated as a conquered nation right up until 2024 (and beyond)! I hope as winners of the next civil war, we don’t make the same mistake again, thereby allowing another “lost cause” mentality to undermine our country for the next 159-plus years. The only way to make the next Civil War win mean something in its aftermath is to remake the nation into a genuinely liberal democracy, which will require some comprehensive amending of the Constitution. We’ve already seen the confusion that ensues when amendments are intentionally vaguely worded — legal battles royale! So, I say bring it! I don’t want to live with these people as my neighbors. I don’t have RepubliKKKlans, MAGA morons, evil evangelicals, and QAnon kooks as my friends or acquaintances. I could not possibly abide these people in my life, and I think the 55 percent of the nation who are not MAGA morons et al. should not tolerate the other 45 percent who are. Traitor trump has made these social faultlines bright and clear, and it’s time for us to purge the nation of this malignancy. Welcome to stupid America!
