27 comments

1. From the article:

   Indiana state Senator Mike Gaskill, a Pendleton Republican, declared on Thursday that a “second civil war has already started” in the United States, as he urged his colleagues to back an ultimately unsuccessful state redistricting push backed by President Donald Trump.

   “I will submit to you that the Second US Civil War has already started. They’re just using surrogates,” the Republican lawmaker s aid. The Indiana state senator added, “I submit to you that that’s accurate.”

2. More a unconstitutional Republican power grab has started in an effort institute a permanent system of oligarch and plutocracy.

   Republicans want tyranny of the Minority rule

3. Moron says moronic stuff.

4. Are there no laws regarding reckless disinformation occasioning mass panic or a call to violence?

   Because a FUCKING politician claiming that a civil war has started isn’t just a reality T.V show stunt.

   It’s serious fucking business.

   OR AT LEAST IT FUCKING SHOULD BE.

5. Bring it maga I’m ready.

6. Indiana is scared of weed let alone a civil war

7. Clueless loser. Resign and get out to the battlefield.

8. From the article the redistricting bill lost 19-31. Indiana is a very Red state. A different GOP state senator made a speech about NOT endorsing misinformation, bending to outside pressure, threats of violence, violence itself, and ignoring the outside “noise”. Rather that it was overtime to address household costs, business costs, healthcare, education and other factors “he was elected to address.”

   First Pence, now the Indiana State senators. Hallel – fucking- ujah! Who would have thought of Indiana as a shining beacon? Go Hoosiers!

   [Frankly, I think they’re scared of a disgruntled electorate. Watering down some of those districts with Blue regions might be just enough to turn the whole district Blue if people are angry enough.]

9. March out the gravy seals.

10. Quick! Say something dramatic to distract people from how bad your political party is doing!

11. It must feel real embarrassing to be calling for a civil war and have your colleagues leave you standing by yourself. What a tool.

12. Why are men so emotional and overdramatic?

13. Well, he can go fight it on his own.

    Preferably in the bathroom.

    And he better flush this time.

15. So people need to realize he is right. They are redistricting as part of the “civil war.” We gotta stop complaining about it being unfair and realize that is the point. It *is* a hostile action.

16. Loser say what?

17. Impeach this chump for inciting violence.

18. They really need a civil war to be relevant for stealing and not delivering jack shit.

19. Way to stand firm, Indiana!

20. I wish they would just shut the fuck up. This is what happens when the unpopular “edgy” debate team kids who then became the poli sci majors who didnt get into a frat house are given actual authority.

21. Remember people, it’s top vs bottom, absolutely not right vs left.

22. What?

23. republican rank and file should be seeing, by now, they are being used by their party leaders that are only interested in enriching themselves by stealing your labor and money… every time you lose they win… every time. They don’t want you to realize they only thrive IF YOU LET THEM..!!…. peace.

24. Whenever I hear these wannabe “tough guys” threaten another civil war, the first thing that comes to mind is W.C. Field’s saying “Go away, kid, ya bother me”. Fucking children throwing a temper tantrum.

25. The republicans *want* a civil war. That way, they can justify seizing power and Fascist America can begin. And by power, I don’t mean in general. This isn’t the 1800s. Those that control the military, control the country. There isn’t tech available that can beat them, domestically. The military is going to side with the government and the republicans *own* the government right now.

    That’s why he said it. It’s a bully pushing you because his friends are all behind him.

26. Fox News caused this. The Murdocks should be stripped of US citizenship and dismantle the company.

27. Republicans HATE America.

    Republicans want to DESTROY America.

    Vote blue no matter who.

    Your life literally depends on it.
