That's why it cracks me up every time I see them screeching about them accusing anyone in GOP of anything of the sort. It's downright comical because they are that unaware and ignorant. The good news is that ignorance can be fixed and so can unawareness. The question is what causes the learning to occur.

I love the libs talking about civil war. How many would forego their pumpkin spice latte and pick up a weapon? Who would they fight and where? I mean, these people are supposedly all about diversity, equity and inclusion, yet they can't tolerate an opposing viewpoint, articulate theirs, nor are they receptive to the concept of agree to disagree. Talk about being confused! And when it comes to fighting an actual civil war, do you liberals really think you have a chance? You think the military is gonna be there to save you? This is one small example of their overall ignorance I was talking about. The military is the first entity that falls apart from within in any civil conflict regardless of how strong it is. How do you think cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco or Seattle would fare in a civil war? You can literally starve them out by blocking access points and people inside would become animalistic within days. Have things gotten so bad that you are willing to forego your latest latte and go impose your version of diversity, equity and inclusion by violent means on those who disagree with your version of it?

Trust me libs, you don't want a civil war. You would be annihilated and those who survive would learn a very painful lesson. It's like a kid who wants to put their hand on the hot stove, and you're warning them to not do that. The kid being a smart ass puts their hand on it and burns their hand pretty badly and now it's time to cry and scream in pain and regret. That's what a civil war in this country would bring to most liberals. You don't want that. Instead, you want to re-learn the art of listening. You want to re-learn the art of having an open mind and welcoming having your thoughts and opinion challenged as opposed to finding it a microaggression or triggering. You also may want to think about what you're preaching about "diversity" and realize what that really means. No, it doesn't stop at one's race or the severity of one's gender dysphoria as you've been taught. No, diversity really means finding out what unites a city slicker from San Francisco, that cattle rancher in Montana, and the neighborhood restaurant owner in Iowa. What do they all have in common, and build on that. Believe me, despite our political differences, we have far more in common than you think. You're just choosing to focus on what separates us vs. what brings us together. This is why we have Electoral College. It forces that city slicker from San Francisco to look for common ground with that cattle rancher and the restaurant owner in Iowa. That's how you build unity and not create a tyranny simply because there are many more city slickers concentrated in a single spot. That's why it's absolutely genius.

So cool down the rhetoric. No, your political opponents aren't the reincarnates of the worst evil that plagued this planet. Stop with the hyperbole and using incendiary language and start working on lowering the temperature. Realize the evils of the social media and the echo chambers that the social media algorithms provide - if you believe the earth is flat, you can surround yourself with the like-minded people on social media platforms and those social media platform algorithms are going bring every last flat-earther together to form an echo chamber and anyone who comes in saying the earth isn't flat is gonna be a pariah there. Same goes for politics. Same goes for religion. This is what diversity really means. Too bad the Democratic Party doesn't see it like that anymore. They used to, but they radically shifted and that prompted many lifelong Democrats to switch to GOP, and quite a few in my family. Learn from history, because if you don't, we're bound to repeat it.
