As the situation in regard to report immigrants escalated, and the army may be used against Americans, do you believe there's a way back, or is this a one way street to civil war?

I think we are still trying peaceful protests and hoping upcoming elections will change things. There is little appetite to escalate to violence yet.

It is inevitable that ice and ice barbie will encounter violent opposition when they raid a wrong address sometime soon. But it will be localized to that location.

Most of the radical groups of self armed wackos are working for ice now and reveling in their racism.

Which upcoming elections would that be? The ones after the guy currently in power who already tried to overthrow the government once and who can't legally be reelected peacefully steps out?

Sure, wait for that to happen! What could go wrong with giving him years to prepare for exactly that?

House of Reps are in 2026, and there are all sorts of state and local things so I assume they are meaning all of that.

If shit starts flipping blue everywhere, the R’s will either back off and play defense or escalate and have a lot more opposition. Hopefully more opposition?

There are elections every 6 months or so. All that has to flip are 2 or 3 seats and the entire congress flips.

What a useless, whiny attitude to have.

Eh? Do you somehow not know the definition of "whining"?
