The US military has been developing a non-lethal weapon that will stop a right-wing Civil War stop dead in its tracks:

Not all Trump voters were MAGA. from all I have read.
For example:

You are being very simplistic.
And I think your dislike and comtempt for Americans in general is clear. I would bet this was the case along time before Trump.

You do recall that I have patiently explained in a number of threads this is not the case? Have you not read my responses? I have been agreeing with most of your positions because I genuinely do agree. But this repeated nonsense, plus you repeated call to arm up for civil war, suggests you are either not learning or you are an AI bot. Either way leads to no further interactions necessary between us. Is that what you want?

The fun thing is that it doesn't even need to work, as long as they believe that it does.

Democrats have no guns. Or if they do, no idea where it is or if it is loaded.
Democrats will just play dead. Once Soc Sec and Medicare are gone, all of us old timers will die. MSNBC will be gone from Kash Patel doings. Oligarchs will run counrty, liberalism is dead.
Suddenly it dawns on corporations they need to keep people healthy and earning from age 20 to 60. Otherwise they have no consumers to buy their products. Slavery with benefis is installed.

I was talking specifically about MAGA and their level of general knowledge. You are changing the subject there. Of course not all Americans are that stupid and uneducated. But some are...
Oh for the love of the whole pantheons of gods from the past, now, and that are yet to be conceived...GIVE IT A REST! Please! This is tedious, tiresome, and wrong. Get this into your head: Not all foreigners who criticise a little bit of YOUR country hate/despise all of it and every one of its citizens. OK?

The funner thing is that they actually believe it could even exist.

This ideas needs to be expanded. You know that colourful paint they throw/shoot at people during some marathons? Do that and call it gay glitter.
Or, strike that, insist it doesn't turn protesters into woke gay communists. I forgot how pathologically contrarian the trumpkins and conspiracy theorists are.
Are we all still sure there won't be a war?

A war needs at least two opponents. So if the Buyer-regret MAGAs can be turned against the Nazi building invaders, two birds with one stone.

Weren't they?
Yes, I am aware there are some voters who claimed they somehow "didn't like what Trump stood for". But he is such a polarizing figure, and his flaws are glaringly obvious. (And, lets face it, much of the criticism aimed at Harris and the Democrats was bogus.) They may not be wearing the red hats and buying Trump bibles, but they knew what their vote meant and what they were supporting.
I suspect those who claim "I voted for Trump but I'm not a MAGAchud" are either lying to others to try to paint themselves in a better light, or lying to themselves to justify their own flaws.
I tend to agree with you but there may be some people who may be so fixated on one particular subject whether it's banning abortion, being anti-trans, cutting their taxes that they're willing to give the candidate who promises those things a complete pass. IMO that doesn't excuse what they do but they're not a MAGA supporter.

Well... they did support MAGA in every way that matters.
I guess it comes down to (for them) if their one issue is worth voting anti-American.
Yes, for some people one thing is *that* important and it cuts both ways. There are single issue voters on every part of the political spectrum.

Which is fine when the choice involves a Sen McCain or Gov Romney. They never attacked the Capitol during an election certification.

ICE is making raids in sanctuary states and cities. The civil war has already started.
Indeed, one might argue that it started some time ago, with poorly-regulated militias on both sides resorting to political violence. The ICE raids simply represent a new stage of organization and escalation by one of the two factions. It remains to be seen if the other faction will be able to similarly organize and escalate, or if they have already lost.
When the entire federal government comes gunning for your sacred cows, street takeovers and a bit of recreational arson and looting just isn't enough.

Sanctuary states and cities are the rebellion. The BLM/Antifa riots are the rebellion. Street takeovers are the rebellion. Noncompliance/malicious compliance with federal mandates is the rebellion.
ICE raids are the government's escalation of the conflict. An escalation for which the rebels seem woefully unprepared, mentally, emotionally, and logistically.
