Chaos ≠ civil war. The key distinction: civil war occurs when governmental continuity is contested—two or more authorities govern, tax, and field armies in the same territory. Transitions, no matter how messy, aren’t civil wars.

One defining feature of civil war: the breakdown—or serious contestation—of government continuity. When competing authorities can govern, tax, and field armies in the same territory, the state is no longer unified.

@Ultral33t007 @FoxNews A protest is dissent within the system. A civil war is the collapse of the system. One appeals to law. The other replaces it with organized violence. That distinction matters.

@FoxNews Lools like civil war. 🤬 Does anyone think that the many people on the left that support this statement are going to change their stance anytime soon? Then they want to indoctrinate your kids, destroy our constitution, & remake our nation communist. Nothing left to redeem them.

DIRECT THREAT: An agitator spray-paints "kill your local ICE agent" on the side of a federal building in Los Angeles as thousands marched through the city's downtown for the "No Kings" protest.

Today’s final count: 7 million Americans. 3,000 cities. Every state. Philadelphia. Atlanta. Dallas. St. Paul. DC. San Francisco. 500,000 in London. Tel Aviv in the streets. A human banner on the Pacific Ocean spelling out: TRUMP MUST GO NOW. One of the largest single-day demonstrations in American history. The founders settled the kings question in 1776. America settled it again today. Never stop connecting the dots.

This is why Republicans are trying so hard to suppress the vote through their pathetic SAVE act. Maybe next time, do a better job running the country so most of the country doesn’t end up hating you.

I don’t think eight million people were paid to protest today.

Sorry not sorry. But this No Kings protests are literally the stupidest things I have ever witnessed.

Communism is strong in America. We must take back our country one classroom at a time. This is a project that will take a generation.

Folks, this is scary. This is your typical Democrat voter. These people are completely out of their minds. Do NOT sit home in November and let crazy people like this take over our country.
