    I’d have agreed with you 10 years ago. In 2025, any American who is not already fighting (and I mean fighting, not “protesting”) MAGA is my enemy. Try us.

      Grow up. These things happen in stages, and we aren’t at the violence stage yet. We owe it to ourselves, and the world, to try our hardest to resolve this existential problem with every other option we have before getting to the violence. Hopefully, we can avoid it all together. An American Civil War would have ripple effects that will have negative repercussions on the rest of the world, and being right next door means it will be worse for you than anyone else.

      And you need to understand the same far right attack on America by global fascist forces is also happening in Europe, Central and South America, Australia, Asia, and CANADA. They came after America first, so we won’t be there to protect other nations, but once they have us under control, YOU are next. You don’t want to alienate those who will be your closest allies when the Nazis come for you.
