Suggesting that a war should be waged against the democratically-elected government of the United States seems… Well, it seems kinda treason-y to me. Just a smidge.
Hey now, treason is very specifically defined in the constitution. Oh and yeah, that’s the constitutional definition. This is treason.
Hey treason is when Democrats do anything I don’t like which means anything
Its only real treason if it comes from the Treasony region of France. Otherwise its just called being a rebel.
The Champagne virus is elusive.
bubbling rebel
I miss when that mattered…
Yeah this kinda does seem like it might cross the line and be actionable
Isn’t this sedition, not treason?
Technically yes, but it’s really just semantics and treason sounds sexier.
Doing the definition of treason is AT LEAST treason-adjacent!
But you need either that person or two witnesses to admit to it in a court in order to convict.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof
Spot the fuck on. This is Treason and nothing less. You know what Treason does and what’s done to it’s actor?
BREAKING: Fat white Ohio man wants others to do what he won’t do himself
So many armchair generals in this world.
The GOP army is going to need a vast fleet of lark scooters, albuterol inhalers and oxygen tanks
I guarantee you a week ago this dude was crying because “Biden’s rhetoric was too crazy and led to the Trump shooting”
(Despite the fact the Trump shooter was a conservatuve)
Where are the Republicans whining at him to “turn the temperature down?”
It’s all fun and games until someone shoots an ear and a semi-innocent bystander whose wife refuses condolences from the President due to undying (debatable) loyalty to a demagogue
We’ll kick their asses again, just like we did in the War of Southern States Wanting to Keep Slaves.
As long as we have the presidency and military.
Civil war. Or submit to “Project 2025”-level insanity and Christian fascism. Those are the choices the cult gives us. They really are the American Taliban. Can’t wait to see their “chosen one” lose again.
Guys, if you gonna do this civil war thing again, this time finish the job and make sure that those southern traitors never fuck with your country again. It’s bad for my blood pressure seeing how those nazi fucks believe they have a right to exist.
What does finishing the job look like?
Edit: I don’t understand the downvotes, just a non American asking a genuine question.
What should have happened after the first civil war, occupation of their lands and dismantling of their elected officials. No one who supported the traitors would ever be allowed in government again.
Like actually putting the Confederate leadership on trial with consequences such as jail or hanging for treason as Repubs suggest. Nuremburg Trial stuff instead of this garbage.
Enough is enough. Shit like this is putting us on a path for another insurrection.
Here is a sample letter to provide George Lang, especially if you are an OH resident. George Lang contact form
subject: “Call for Resignation Due to Undemocratic Remarks”
Dear Senator Lang,
I am writing to express my profound disappointment and concern regarding your recent comments about the potential need for a civil war if certain political outcomes are not achieved. Your statement, “I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved,” is not only deeply irresponsible but also fundamentally undemocratic. Such rhetoric is dangerous and unbecoming of a public servant in a democratic society.
As a concerned citizen, I am compelled to voice my strong objection to your words. They undermine the very principles upon which our nation was founded: the peaceful transition of power and the rule of law. Democracy thrives on debate, disagreement, and ultimately, the will of the people as expressed through free and fair elections. The suggestion that violence is an acceptable response to losing an election is antithetical to these principles.
An apology for this grave error is simply not sufficient. The damage caused by promoting the idea of civil unrest as a solution to political disagreement cannot be undone with mere words of regret. Your statement has the potential to incite division and violence, putting our nation and its citizens at risk.
In light of the seriousness of your comments, I call on you to resign from your position as a United States Senator. The responsibilities of your office require a commitment to uphold democratic values and to lead with integrity. Your recent remarks have shown a disregard for these responsibilities, and as such, stepping down is the most honorable course of action you can take for the sake of our country’s stability and unity.
The United States faces numerous challenges that require thoughtful, collaborative solutions. It is imperative that our leaders prioritize dialogue and cooperation over divisive and inflammatory rhetoric. I urge you to consider the impact of your words and to take responsibility for them by resigning your seat.
Sincerely,
[Your First Name]
Additionally i encourage looking up your Senators and contacting them as well:

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and to seeing our representatives uphold the values that make our country strong.

Make sure to send to both senators, regardless of their party.
tried to, but it said “server not found”
Odd. Works for me. Might be either your connection or a regional server issue
For the original civil war there was actual geographic separation. Now they can only win through gerrymandering so I’m not sure how they envision the logistics of such a war playing out. Seems more like you would have to resort to what most people would call domestic terrorism.

Conservatives: Hold my beer.
“I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved.”
Homie was from Ohio too. Wouldn’t even half ti march halfway across the country.
Yeah him and his home town are probably ashamed of each other these days.
Yep. Ohio is full of Union troops. Although so are the other 49 states.
Bring it on, you obese, illiterate cockroaches. I want to see your oversized, maga-smeared pickup trucks rolling coal on eachother in a traffic jam for two weeks while you all complain about how Arby’s won’t let you use the shitter unless you buy something. You can use your airsoft holsters to hold your 84 ounce fountain drinks and twinkies.
What a bunch of fake little pussy bitches. Even the tough-guy, meat-head gym-rat conservatives will be surprised to find so many on the left are well trained and champing at the bit to solve this problem.
Please let them do something. Please, Santa? We’ve been good all year!
Your post gave me a very thorough chub, please, keep going. <3
If the facts don’t match my feelings, we should do a civil war!
Ok then, let’s organize it in a proper and civil manner, though. Everyone that wants to advocate for a civil war gets brought to the Gettysburg field in PA and they can have a “publicly” sanctioned battle to the death.
The winners get a commemorative plate, the losers get a very large memorial center with statues built in their honor in Huntsville, Alabama.
They have been screaming that shit ever since obama and they still haven’t done shit.
