They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

    I mean a right wing group opened fire on a electric substation that was barely over a year ago, and we kinda just moved on. We are already somehow in the slow burn of a civil war and there has been several incidents stopped before more destruction could be done.

    A modern civil war in America looks like what is happening currently in America. We just don’t have a lot of big flashy things happening.

    You know other than the record shattering mass murders that occurs at schools and other public places.

    Could it get worse? Absolutely. Will it? Who knows. Maybe we do go back to lining up on the borders and shooting each other too.

      Right, they opened fire on a couple of substations and no one got hurt.

      School shootings are bad but affect a very tiny percentage of the population, really.

      It would absolutely get way, way, way worse, and just like what the other person said.
