Trump cries treason, suggests Civil War

[SLD]

I mean, why not?

Many of those very fine people still worship Confederate monuments. So a Civil War is already part of the theme.

If a civil war is "declared" (how does that work?).. then does that mean it is no longer illegal to shoot someone on the "other side" (whatever that means)? Like, if they are enemy combatants? Can I fight in defense of America and our Constitution via violent acts against those that declare themselves on the "other side"?

Yeah, we'll just make it up as we go along, we're great again now by golly.

At least they'll be easy to identify.

No, because the declaration itself would be an illegal act. That's what the first civil war was about.

I've been saying for years that the GOP engame is a coup.

As always, Trump's rhetoric is directly proportional to how much trouble he's in. As this gets worse, he'll go ever more off the deep end.

Shouldn't threatening civil war be another article of impeachment?

With any other president it would be, but people have this weird thing about forgiving Trump as long as he's outrageous enough to be entertaining.

The US Civil War wasn't a declared war. Except in the sense that on Jul 25, 1861 Congress enacted a resolution declaring that the Civil War was being fought to preserve the Union, not to abolish the South's "peculiar institution" of slavery. But if you want some idea of how it would work think in terms of the Yugoslavian Civil War, 1991-1999. Long time neighbors suddenly having the desire to slaughter each other.
