So, Round 1 for the Second American Civil War happened today

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime.

So would a lot of our forum posters.
If it helps, I tend to believe more in leftist ideals, but I think they need time to fully percolate, and translate into the ever-shifting shape of The Future. It's how my sisters were able to, grudgingly, get me to vote Mr. Biden.

Leftist ideals are great, they just don't always work well in the present with all its grit and hardships. They need time. Since I see a lot of moderate right-wingers who dream of the classical liberalism of old, a color-blind world, while the democrats, not necessarily leftists, want to focus exclusively on certain groups.

This is why, of all the candidates, I think Mr. Sanders would be the best to challenge Mr. 45. Don't get me wrong, he's a fraud, but he's one that appeals well to the large base of liberals whom will shape the future, and retake some of our older values we've lost.

I can not believe I just read 3 pages of you people saying a bunch of anti-government Anarchists who disavowed Trump on video are actually a bunch of Far-right white supremacist Trump supporters.

There are deeply held values that have been forged over hundreds of years - values that you may not agree with - but values nonetheless that in a mere 20 to 30 years have been overshadowed or have been rendered obsolete. And that scares people. And angers people. And makes people do stupid things like vote for bad leaders.
I am generally of the persuasion humans, as people, a culture, and nations, are more afraid than we'd like to let on, since it is a jungle mentality where to expose vulnerability means you get claimed as meat for another, or worse. And with all the rapid culture shifts of the last two decades, never mind the last century, and the preceding centuries, that fear is more pronounced than ever, especially as we stand at the edge of a great precipice that will be decide the turning point for the whole human tribe. Will we stand or fall? Time will tell.

Their leader posted an Anti-Trump video. Others posted Pro-Trump ones. Spare me the bullshit.

So the leader was expelling the pro-Trump members of the group, and you still call the group pro-Trump.

Spare ME the bull shit

Right wing terrorists were planning to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

ANTIFA and BLM haven't.

Hence why the FBI has been saying all along that right wing extremists are more dangerous than left wing groups.

Once Trump loses the election, hopefully we can crack down harder on those right wing groups and expose them and Trump as the pedophile pieces of shit that they are.

And yet pro-Trump members of the group were part of the plot.

At this point, I'd bring up the unacceptable seizure of police property by untrained civilians, but... I just know we'll go nowhere with it.

Thus, I will say... plotting to kidnap an elected official is NOT okay, well, unless you're Nicolas Cage, and neither is just seizing public resources for your own selfish selves.

That's all I have to say.
