What if that bullet didn’t graze his ear and instead was a direct hit? How would America and the world have reacted if he was killed? And who would replace him as the Republican Presidential candidate?

Civil War. No going back. All hell would break loose.
Not a chance, Trump supporters have jobs to be at we have to much to loose to start a civil war.
I mean seriously what are we gonna do about it? Just start killing every democrat we see? Then get tossed in jail so our kids have no fathers?

They got us right where they want us.

So thats the choice for the kids?
Either a father or a future?
But you’re not wrong. (Well, maybe a little, my kids are in their 40’s for example).
I’ve said it a dozen times. We do not share the same level of dedication that people like this kid and other activists have.
They are every bit as dedicated, committed, and motivated as the most brainwashed suicide bomber.
We, on the other hand, are weekend crusaders.
We operate between soccer games, lake trips, house parties, and dinners out with our friends where we lament about the state of the nation…before going home and turning on FOX news…where we compare the hotness of the female anchors.

We may not have his dedication but we have jobs and homes and are a part of what makes the world better he lived in in his parents basement

My kids are little they need a dad to take care of them and provide for them and teach them right from wrong which is what is wrong with this country and probably the only way we are going to fix anything.

How do you suggest you and I fix anything? Everyone says civil war. Ok who am I supposed to shoot? Do I get a list of names? Do the “bad guys” have uniforms? How do I know I’m not the only sucker that’s gonna “do something”. I alone sure as shit make no difference so I’m going to make my kids fatherless for no reason?

See how this becomes complicated.

I’m about 99% sure we are going to find out. Unless you believe there just happened to be a 16’ ladder left agains the side of a building with a clear line of site to president Trump and no SS or LE happened to notice… then it was clearly a well planned and coordinated assignation attempt.

Where we are now, if Trump lives, in January DJT will have the presidency, both houses, SCOTUS and a mandate from the people to investigate who left the ladder out. Names like Biden, Fauchi, Pelosi, Cheney and Schiff will swing from the gallows.

They have to kill him, I would not rule out detonating a nuclear device at the Republican Convention, blaming Hamas, declaring martial law, canceling the democrat convention and postponing the election. The ends justify the means and they will stop at nothing to “save democracy”.


They are cornered and this is their most desperate hour.

You don't think there are real deal militias out there ready to go at a moments notice..... I think you seriously underestimate the dark alleys of the population. The general population would be sheep as expected. The legit groups would be full go time.

Not everyone in Gen Pop are sheep. We just know the difference between foolish and fighting for our freedoms.

So these legit militias what’s there plan storm the White House? Capital hill? Take over Fort Bragg?

Any militia don’t stand a chance in hell unless they get 100% military backing. That would have to be step one.

Take out specific individuals. Like cutting head off a snake. No high level politician would be safe. Remember the Military likes DJT. Think small precise movements over some large scale attack. Your hillbilly back woods guy with a shotgun is useless. Do you think old military snipers or black ops guys just stop training when the are no longer in the military.... LOL.... Most of the ones I know train even harder. The biggest problem is when the democrats get so desperate they will most likely go for an EPM in the larger population areas causing blackouts and people to turn against each other, that is their greatest weapon unfortunately

The possibility of that creating uncertainty and kaos with Gen Pop is off the charts. Sounds great and may need to happen one day.

Give me heads up when this pops off I better stock up on 🍿

Nah.

The Left has never really suffered any consequences for their talk/actions. They were protected by the Right's sense that they weren't to be taken seriously.

That's probably changed.

If someone like Jack Black (who regretted the assassin missed) can't now book shows or gets punched by a roadie, they'll learn pretty quick.

I think what would happen is that supporters would come out and demonstrate (probably the capital/whitehouse or some other government building). The demonstrators would be mix of those who don’t care about their 9-5 all the way to millionaires who’ve just had enough.

It would be a powder keg that explodes and probably would involve citizens getting killed.

At that point it’s the shot heard all over the USA. Then those on the fence head to “ground zero”. The media will create a narrative on both sides. Martial law is enacted, but I don’t know who shows up. LEO and military members took an oath to uphold the constitution. Who knows what their interpretation will be.

Those of us at home will hit Costco, Turners, Home Depot and get ready. Wagons will be circled and those that can afford to get away for a while will.

No one’s killing people in the streets like it’s the purge.

Exactly my point. It makes OUR world better. But it doesn't change anything.
As was said earlier, we aren’t suffering enough yet for a civil war. Maybe we never will…but that does not happen automatically. Never has, never will. It takes effort beyond our comfort zones.
Some take this as big talk. It isn’t. I’m just another old fat guy who observes that many young people today are unaware of why they have these opportunities to work, build wealth, raise families, buy houses and boats etc.
It’s not because of magic or gods gift.
It’s because a bunch of men put EVERYTHING on the line.
This kid was 20 years old. Of course he lived in his parents house. I read constantly on RDP about the parents here paying for college, kids living at home all through their 20’s, parents helping them buy a house etc.
Judge it how you want…but my statements stand.
We see these activists as losers and non productive.
It’s an easy verdict.
But they are also the ones who consistently pull the trigger. They are committed, have no comprehension of mortality, and have all the time in the world.

How do you suggest you and I fix anything? Everyone says civil war. Ok who am I supposed to shoot? Do I get a list of names? Do the “bad guys” have uniforms? How do I know I’m not the only sucker that’s gonna “do something”. I alone sure as shit make no difference so I’m going to make my kids fatherless for no reason?

I’m 63 years old.
Believe me, I’m well aware of the shifting dynamics between age groups and responsibilities.
But you’re making my points for me.
The oppositions foot soldiers have no such responsibility, as beerrun points out.
Today, many of us are back at work, checking to see if our mid month bills cleared yet, dealing with the kids summer schedules etc.
guess what the Dem, blm, Antifa activists are doing?
Same thing they do every single day. Wage war on the republic…which they think is a democracy.

Hypothetically speaking, civil war, like the North Vs the South is unlikely. More likely what we might see is more like the "Troubles". Decades of covert operations by citizens who keep normal daily lives and execute strategic assassinations, bombings and targeted mass casualty events against specific demographics under cloak of darkness. Truly Domestic terrorism, not the stuff we call domestic terrorism today.

I would not rule out this being a high potential in our current situation. I will not be surprised by a counter assassination attempt on a key left leaning politician. I would be super nervous right now if I was a popular democratic politician.

I think the next few days are critical for a cooling off. if a Tit for Tat event happens it will be pretty hard to slow the snowball headed for hell.

I agree dad, for you, however there are many people at a different stage in life without the responsibilities of a family like you have that are still plenty capable.

You cannot fathom what would have happened if Trump would have been killed.

I was at a boot store (huge place many poeple ) buying new boots and the atmosphere felt like 9/11 right up until they announced he was just grazed.

a civil war, or more an this case a govt "reset"....isnt a time for half measures. if millions or even a few hundred thousand banded together, i doubt even our military could stop it.
What does that even look like? I'm feeling pretty selfish, I kind of like my lifestyle and hope I can continue making a decent living, enjoying relative safety and freedom of movement. Any of the current ideology differences I have I am able to mostly mitigate.

While I don't feel I need to be respectful of the far left views, I don't feel compelled to square up. I do however think we need to stop participating in things that give the elite class financial gain, that in itself seems like a challenge most of us may struggle with.

I don't want to make an unwarranted assumption. What does a full measure look like?

I fully understand if the full measure is not suitable for publication, simply blink twice if needed.

LEO is gonna follow their pension.. most of them don’t care about the constitution as it is.. let alone going to try and defend it.

Military I don’t believe can act against our own citizens.. National guard can secure areas but I’m not sure they can act either?

Posse comitatus act would prevent the military from being used as a police force. (Though they can probably advise LEO, just not actively participate).

However it’s murky if they got used as a homeland defense role instead. And it’s murky if Congress would be able to over rule the PC Act.

i will start by saying i am not advocating for anything. rest assured our govt has plans for all sorts of scenarios we never think about. but it can happen if enough people stick together.

Look at what mountain goat herders with AK's stamped from old license plates were able to do....

Insurgencies are incredibly difficult to stop. There is only 3 ways to beat one.
1) Idealogical victory where you convince the insurgents to come to your side (the most difficult)
2) Mass genocide, kill every one of them and their male children. (the most violent)
3) Colonize/Imperialize, move in your own people and outbreed them and outcompete them for the local resources (the longest)

If you are unable to win with method 1, then you have to have the stomach and or the time for 2 or 3.

#3 seems to be what Mexico is attempting to do to the border states. Seems to be working, too.

seems to me our schools taught something along the lines of "we the people, in order to to form a more perfect union", blah blah blah and some sort of declaration of independence, a war was fought and blood was shed. not that kids today would have any idea what any of this was.

maybe its time to write a new document along the same lines, which calls for a massive replacement and restructuring of the federal govt.

how exactly that happens i dont know.
