Arrest him for fomenting insurrection.
Seriously. They're just gonna keep doing this dancing on the edges bullshit until someone comes down on them fucking hard.
The Prison Boys leader who just got 22 years in prison admitted he knew all along that Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump did not win the election. The media needs to point out the obvious. That the Prison Boys and Oathbreakers are Tory militia groups who were trying to destroy the Founding Father's government and reestablish a dictatorship/monarchy.

Or a bunch of idiots kill a bunch of people.
No, that's what they're counting on. That certainly wouldn't stop them since that's the point of the entire exercise. Although this particular example comes dangerously close to dancing over the line into incitement if it doesn't already.

Feels like pretty strong linkages to obstruction of justice if you're trying to brazenly influence the outcome of a trial under the threat of violence.
let us win or we’ll kill you

The amount of Republicans that have no idea how strapped Democrats are is too damn high lol. While I'd love c/liberalgunowners to be as high as Republicans but, it's not THAT much of a numbers difference. 6/10 of Republicans live in a gun household vs 1/4 Democrats. Republicans usually sit at 40% of the pop vs Democrats at 50%.
Then they'll be fighting against the damn US Military with only the really full on bat shit Republicans. Jan 6th already showed us how many actually wanted to nut up. Hey, turns out not that many! There's a reason why there was a whopping 2, 3-star generals, RETIRED, that came out in favor of Trump. People think the military is filled with nothing but Republicans too, but Joe Biden beat Trump by 4 points in the military in 2020 lol.
The crazy fucks had their chance on January 6th already lol. Sorry people, it's not going to be a civil war. It's going to be increasing amounts of Republican extremism like it already has been for the last decade and more.
In the United States in 2022, 48 percent of Republicans reported that they owned at least one gun, and 66 percent said that they lived in a household with a gun. In comparison, only 20 percent of Democrats owned at least one gun, and 31 percent lived a gun household.

Luckily most Trumpers wouldn't last more than a few minutes in a firefight before they run out of breath.

it's amazing how anti-American Republicans have become
He also alleged the Justice Department, the IRS and the FBI are “conspiring to hide the Biden family crimes, while all the time being obsessed with charging Donald Trump with crimes.”
Did all those supposed Biden crimes occur since 2020? No? Then why did the Trump administration let these supposed crimes go uninvestigated?
Anyone who says "Biden crime family" or a similar variant / transposition unironically, I have to ignore.
For my own sanity.
Not to mention Hunter Biden is getting his in court? It's just boring tax fraud and a gun charge and he's taking his punishments without much fuss and working to rectify his transgressions, tho, so nobody cares. Also he never worked for the government in any capacity ever.

His daughter is governor of a state. He was governor of a state. These are the kinds of people republicans are voting for office- do not let republicans get away with bastardizing the meaning of patriot. They are traitors at worst or traitor sympathizers at best.
Yep. I will die of old age before there is any chance of a Republican ever deserving my vote, or of the Republican party convincing me that they have moved on from fascism.
It would be like science fiction.
Lets play a game. How many elected republican officials can threaten civil war before they are barred from office?
Tommy Tuberville is singlehandedly ratfucking the entire military through inaction and still gets to collect his 6-figure check.
Doubt anything will happen.

Projection and threats, that's all they know how to do

Hey now if you can’t smear shit on the capitol and try to hang the VP then according to sarah palin 'What's The Use In Being A Good Guy?'
"If Democracy doesn't give me the result I want, I'll turn to Fascism!"
That's exactly what is happening.

Sounds like a terroristic threat...
Let them try. Trump & his fellow republicans already attempted to violently overthrow our democracy once. Surrendering and allowing them their fever dream of a fascist dictator for life (however much time he's got left) will not improve our situation.
Republicans, particularly of the Gravy Seals bent, always seem to think they're the only ones that can own guns or know how to use them. Just because everyone else is sane enough not to be waiving them around or so insecure about themselves that they need to show them off like they're some kind of security blanket doesn't mean nobody else is armed. I think if they ever pluck up the courage to try a full scale civil war they'll quickly realize the tables aren't going to be anywhere near as one sided as they seem to think.

Look, another unindicted co-conspirator!
Do it! DO IT!! Shut up talking about it, and let’s get the civil war started!! Because I suspect it will be over before supper time.
In reality all they’re going to do is talk about it, because they’re small weak little people. Look at the big bad Proud Boys. When faced with the consequences of jail, they cried like little girls and begged the judges to take pity on them. Only one defiantly yelled “TRUMP WON” on his way out is the courtroom, but that was even after he cried and groveled.

if former President Trump doesn’t win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.
Maybe he'll lose because so many people really loathe him.
Y'know, this sort of rhetoric seems less about making a prediction (there will be violence) than it is about cueing his audience to prepare to be violent, or at least to accept that there will be violence.
Yeah, it looks like an innocent prediction from the guy that can see the writing on the wall, and that's why this kind of talk takes this form and not the form of explicitly calling for political violence from particular people- this way it's all deniable and stochastic enough that nobody's (hint, hint) actually breaking the law out in the open.
Yeah but if he wins there is going to be violence. I'd rather take my chances with the violence that happens because he lost than because he's ordering people that disagree with him off into camps.
The problem is that even if this is empty bluster on Huckabee's part, some jackass is going to decide that "deciding an election by bullets" means murdering a dozen random people at his local Wal-Mart.
That's the goal. "Give us what we want or you and yours might get shot up at the local store."
Just like we don't let a nuclear dictator take what they want because "omg hed nuke us" we don't let some sister fucker redneck asshole have what he wants because he might shoot us. Either pull the trigger or fuck off.
Palin, now Huckabee. These conservatives are just drooling over their potential "civil war".

Dear Liberals,
Buy guns now. You are severely outgunned and the police support the other side. There is no credible deterrence preventing fascist militias from waltzing into major metropolitan areas and doing pretty much the same thing the Khmer Rouge did in Cambodia (murdering everyone that disagreed with them). Being “outraged” is not enough. Putting “In this house we believe…” signs on your lawn is not enough. Reassuring yourself with op-eds in the New York Times is not enough. Buy guns now.

Does anyone else remember the 2000 election with Gore and Bush and the state of Florida ?
What the ever loving fuck is wrong these people ?
And why is Biden's family included for Huckabee while Trump is a singular entity ?
