The political assassination of Charlie Kirk continues to impact America. Charlie’s conservative nonprofit organization, Turning Point USA, has seen a surge in membership. There are reports across the country of increased church attendance, as lapsed congregants contemplate the sacrifice Charlie made to spread a Christian message. Conservative and Christian Americans are expressing themselves more boldly on social media platforms and college campuses.
An equally important, though darkly troubling, consequence of his murder has been the deluge of mockery and hatred from leftists celebrating Charlie’s death. Antifa-aligned groups show up on college campuses to attack Turning Point staff and prevent students from hearing Charlie’s arguments.

This country has gone too far down the drain to be saved. The ONLY answer is to start over and NOT do stupid things like the 16th, 17th amendments. Only net taxpayers should vote. The safety net is ridiculously thick. The borders are ridiculously thin. The situation is irretrievable. The list of stupidities would fill a book. I can't live long enough to write it. Sorry kids, it's over...

Just like they don't understand what socialism REALLY means, most have no clue what a true civil war will entail. We have come to this juncture because we, the American Mainstream simply lay back and allowed our young generations to be indoctrinated by false, toxic propaganda. The only solution is to start building not only from KG up but right from the cradle at home. It is a slow, gradual process but there is no alternative. In the mean time whenever you go to the polls don't even by mistake vote Democrat - .no matter who the candidates or the issues are.

That is what the legacy media and social media would have us believe. Influencers do not influence me or my thinking and I am in touch with many who agree.

Saul Alinsky believed nothing could be "fixed", that the only answer was to tear everything down. His problem was that he had no plan for what came next.

Those that want a civil war, can't imagine changing their minds or being able to change the opposition's minds. There is only so much stress someone can take before they snap. Those are the people who want a Civil War. The rest of us look at them and FEAR there is going to be a Civil War.

Wanting a civil war and believing that one is inevitable and unavoidable are two different things.
Socialism and a constitutional representative republic, as founded are incompatible. And the socialist side of the equation is increasingly accepting of violence as a means to get their way. Socialist prevail when their opposition isn't prepared.

AFAIC, we are already in a Civil War. It's mostly cultural, but the DemoRoids are continually encouraging their unstable members to make it hotter.
I agree with Dan Bongino, "Nothing will change until it gets bad enough". As much as I can tell, we are close, and the DemoRoids have the gas floored.

I don't want it, but I am ready and willing to fight in it if they insist. We really should avoid it. It will be hideous, and will break down much of our country.
But....."the enemy gets a vote" is known by all military planners. And our enemy is voting to start a war, no matter how much I want it to not happen.

This video was made a few days after Charlie’s assassination. The preacher speaking shows all of the emotion many of us experienced during that week. But, the powerful message still resonates, and will continue to do so for many of us.
I hope and pray enough of us choose this perspective for our sakes and for the sake of our country.

Bet Russia, China, and Iran would love to see a civil war in the US. That's reason enough to not have one. I won't be surprised if we have a civil war. Too many people easily manipulated and too many people taking sides. It's easy to criticize leaders one doesn't support and turn a blind eye to the failings of leaders one does support. Most of our leaders are frauds. Why do we persist in supporting them? People will support a dishonest leader if they think they are benefiting. How many Germans supported Hitler even when all the bad stuff came out about him. Can't do that! Same thing is happening here. Btw, this is not an attack on Trump. This is an attack on the Democratic and Republican parties. They got us to where we are today. They buy votes, line their pockets, and leave it for others to clean up their mess. That's not governing. People gotta wise up. So many poor choices being made.
I doubt things will get fixed. I doubt the outlook for this nation improves. We are too far in debt, and we are too divided to fix things. It's by design.

Seems like most of the ones wanting a shooting war are "progressive" members of the mainstream media, who were also the ones trying to get climate change, CRT, and gender insanity into our general belief system.
Careful what you ask for, knuckleheads.

Want a civil war? No. But neither do most Americans like living under the communism we thought we were defending against for over 50 years. We'd rather live under the freedom we knew as kids, and that our parents knew.
So we prepare. We store up food and supplies and hope they are never needed. I'm old and fat and probably wouldn't last long in a fight. I spent my strong years in the military failing to stop communism. But maybe those supplies could be of use to my family, my neighbors, or other patriots if it came down to it.

I do not believe any American wants Civil War, but many of us who are not asleep can see the day will come when it will be the only way to save us from becoming a caliphate or a Demorat dictatorship.

Civil war? No. A lot of them dead? Definitely.
Peace, unity and debate are not possible. Charlie tried that,
