As President Joe Biden’s polls stagnant and the midterm election approaches, we are being treated to yet another progressive melodrama. It’s about the imminent dangers of a radical right-wing violent coup.
This time, the threat is a Neanderthal desire for a “civil War.”
These absurd “civil war” theories were further fuelled by the FBI raid in Florida on former President Donald Trump’s home, the questionable justification for such a historic sweep, as well as the opposition from nearly half of the country to the FBI/Department of Justice.
Michael Beschloss is a “presidential historian”. He recently speculated about the parameters of civil war.
Beschloss is ironic. He tweeted just days earlier about Julius and Ethel Rosenberg’s executions. They were the ones who provided U.S. nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union in the 1950s. This was related to the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago.
This wild suggestion that Trump might face the same fate as his handling of “nuclear secrets” was not a true one.
Hayden recently made headlines for comparing Trump’s use of Obama’s border detention facilities to Hitler’s death camp. Hayden also claimed that Hunter Biden was lying about the laptop he had stolen.
As with the “Russian collusion”, hoax and the January 6 “insurrection,” this supposed right-wing-instigated civil war is the latest loud warning from the Left about “democracy dying in darkness” as well as the imminent end of progressive control over Congress within a few months.
Hollywood joins the civil-war movement.
The Pentagon’s greatest men are promising to uncover the truth about white rage within the military and root it out.
When we hear about the plot to kidnap the Michigan governor, we discover a web of insurrectionary plans. Twelve FBI informants outnumbered four “conspirators”, and two of them were acquitted by a jury. Two of the remaining inmates were found not guilty by mistrial convictions.
Many people cite the buffoonish January 6th Riot at Capitol as evidence that the right-wing insurrectionary movements were active. There was no plot or arming revolutionaries revealed by the one-day riotous embarrassment of the Capitol.
The Left used this excuse to militarize the nation’s capital with federal troops and barbed wire. This was the largest military operation in Washington D.C.’s history.
The Antifa and BLM Rioters, on the contrary, were not just a group of smugglers. They organized a series of violent riots across the country over four months. This happened in the summer of 2020. They caused more than 35 deaths and $2 billion in property damage. Hundreds of officers were also injured.
Protestors set fire at the ironic St. John’s Episcopal Church and attempted to gain entry onto the White House grounds. The Secret Service had to evacuate the president of the United States to a safe place because of their violent agenda.
The New York Times celebrated the chaos at the White House with the funny headline “Trump shrinks back.”
The majority of talk about secession comes from the Left, not from the Right. The blue-staters believe secession will liberate them from the conservative red state population.
Over the past five years, the Left has openly advocated for the demise of the American system of governance. This includes packing and destroying the Supreme Court, ending filibusters, and dumping the Electoral College.
Molly Ball was a Time essayist who gushed about a conspiracy involving tech lords and Democratic Party activists in 2021.
Ball boasted of how they had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in changing voting laws and taking control as the government registrar in key precincts.
Revolutionary was the name of the new progressive precedents which allowed for impeaching the President twice, trying him as a private citizen, and excluding minorities from the House committee membership.
It is not insurrectionary to condemn the weaponization of the FBI and the scandals that it has committed. In the past, legal disputes regarding presidential papers were dealt with by lawyers and not by armed agents.
Historical overreach should not be considered objectionable but it is insurrectionary. Those who warn about it are most likely to provoke a mythical civil conflict.
