I’m obsessed with my Webstats and have been for 20 years or more. Something about knowing (in general) a little bit about who is interested in me and my writing is very, very addictive. I keep writing about the possibility of a Second American Civil War and, weirdly enough, most of the interest in my speculation comes from people in Red States.
I say curious because the MAGA New Right is ascendant. They are well on their way to getting everything they want — a more — via political means and all they have to do is sit on their hands and be patient and soon enough the US will be an autocratic white Christian ethno state run by minority whites.
That’s what they want and that’s what they’re going to get — without firing a shot.
And, yet, here we are.
There is obviously a lot of interest in severe political violence on the part of the MAGA New Right. They are, in short, craven, greedy and impatient. They are completely oblivious to how they risk getting ahead of their skis and causing Blue States to leave the Union because they’re being forced to “bend a knee” to Red State orthodoxy.
As such, Red States might be giddy at the opportunity to “crush” Blue States that they open up a can of worms they had no need to open. You would think Red State “though leaders” might at least TRY to calm down some of the frothy civil war rhetoric on their side, but, no.
All the usual suspects of the Right want to burn the country to the ground, even though they’re politically ascendant. You can’t make this shit up.
