My only concern is that I hope this doesn't become an Archduke Ferdinand for an American Civil War part 2.

If that’s the case then it will just be the class war heating up because one side finally started fighting back.

So few of them, so many of us

Is it really a civil war when 99% of the people are on one side?

I think you're underestimating the amount of "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" out there.

Over half the country voted for trump, the man who will make everything worse and who appeals to people's most base instincts. Some of the worst mass shootings were under Trump.

I don't think violence will necessarily be contained to Democrats and old style Republicans. The new right likes corruption, which includes POS health insurance companies.

But how...? Are Magas sad/angry that this happened? Most likely it's the opposite. This is a poor/middle-class vs rich/ultra-wealthy scenario. I guess unless Fox tells/tricks them to be angry and blame liberals, but I'm sure plenty of them are not upset about this. I see it as "the enemy of my enemy" type deal.

This is the most united America has been since 911

Yeah, even the MAGA people I know are like "aight, cool"

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago

Until Fox News tells them otherwise.

united healthcare? how many divisions do they have?

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

They united the people against them. That's living up to half the name, I guess.
