Conservatives will shake their heads in disgust, scratch their rear ends, make angry comments in conservative websites, and then strut around, uttering their own mantra, “They’ll take my guns away from my cold, dead, hands.”
Which they will."
This coincides with my thinking. Trump will not be the next President. No Republican ever will.
Not unless we can force a change in the election system, through the courts and the legislature.
But the chance is slim to none that we can succeed with that, considering the total weaponization of the entire system of government against us by the left.
If THEY cannot imprison Trump, they will assassinate him.
He stands alone. The Republican Party is a token, a gesture, a muffled grumble, not an Opposition. It has let horror happen. It will let Trump be martyred. It will shed crocodile tears.
Very eloquently and poignantly said, Jillian. This article and your response reinforce my prediction that Trump will not run in 2024 because he will either be in prison or dead.
However, I have changed my views on the possibility of a hot civil war. I now think this is not likely at all. The covid fiasco has sadly demonstrated that Americans are no more likely to “kick against the pricks” than any other people. With very rare exceptions, they readily followed the orders to get vaccinated, wear masks, lockdown, close businesses, schools, and their places of worship. With embarrassingly small opposition, Americans permitted the ruination of their economy, the crippling of their children’s education, and the violation of their most fundamental Constitutional rights and liberties. There will be no civil war. America will die not with a bang but a whimper.
