I am sorry, but your predictions of a civil war more often sound like a wish that you could get an opportunity to put your gun collection to use than an actual wish for change. You have been quite vocal about labelling progressive socio-economic reform that could make people's lives better by labelling it communist or claiming that the American people aren't ready for it. That would have been real revolution, But everything has to be dealt with brutish strength. Its like you need to repair a house, but the only tool you have is a hammer.

To be fair, MAGA is fantasies of a civil war has ramped up dramatically after Chuckie was killed. It makes no logical sense to go after "lefties" since it wasn't "lefties" that did it. They just want an excuse, any excuse, to exercise their 2nd ammendment right to shoot non-white people and gays.

MAGA mom detained by ICE—husband refuses to stop flying Trump flag.

"I support him until day I die. He’s making America great again...
I don’t blame Trump. I blame Joe Biden."

Wife's green card revoked after theft conviction—making her a criminal Trump promised to deport first.

Arpineh Masihi was denied bond at her hearing last week—she has been locked up for weeks under what she calls "challenging conditions."

Her husband still has his "Keep America Great" flag flying proudly outside of their home in Diamond Bar, California.

Definitely right up there with the very best. And a great illustration of why edgy comedy is always of its time - the edge moves.

Most common comment at its 50th anniversary last year: "You couldn't make that now". And no that's not because they're all snowflakes now or any of that crap, it's because of the whole cultural understanding between the comics and the audience that tells everyone where the joke is aiming. When you lose that you simply don't know if the joke was that a derogatory word got used at all or if it was that a particular character was an ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ for using it or if punching down with slurs was just regular comedy back then.

Construction companies in Alabama are upset because ICE has grabbed the good, decent, God-fearing immigrants who work for them instead of those other immigrants.
They got what they voted for.

Yeah, whatever. They should ensure that only true MAGAts can have those jobs. Then they won't ever get taken by ICE.

Maybe they can put the 'good immigrants' in charge over a specially sealed of area of a city where the rest of the immigrants are gathered. Then the good ones can police them and ensure order. After all, labor sets you free.

IK thought the main concern was that the immigrants, good or bad, were taking joobs from honest to gid 'murricans. There should be a queue of these 'murricans witing outside. The just may not be looking properly.

In 2010 the BBC made a documentary where they invited Brits who were angry about "immigrants taking are jobs" to replace immigrant workers for a few days.
Spoiler ; it did not go well

I need to watch this. I'm planning to make some good comfort food tonight (nachos) and I'll enjoy them while watching this.

By the way, I'm reminded of a funny anecdote. I was reading a newspaper comments thread a while back, and one of the usual suspects, an old lady known for being quite racis and xenophobic, complained there immigration was a bad thing because... So much of the staff at the city hospital was made up of various non-white and/or foreign people.
Soooo close...

Shrugs …
I've heard it all my life in France and Switzerland… It is well known that immigrants are stealing (all the better) jobs, all the while doing nothing and living a life of comfort and idleness through social benefits; they're getting all the better housings, while congregating in the worst ghettoes and enjoying living in filth; their uneducated and non French/German speaking children are responsible for the decline in literacy and general education, all the while getting (being unduly awarded) better grades than the locals …

Yep. They don't hate the immigrants because of [insert reasons], they come up with [insert reasons] to justify that they hate immigrants.
