OPINION: Is Civil War II Inevitable?

✪ A recent survey by Rasmussen, published by the Napolitan Institute, found an outlandish percentage of Democrat respondents would very much approve of, or at least shrug their shoulders at, a successful Trump assassination…

his is obviously a very stupid and reckless set of opinions to have, even for any Democrat who actively despises Trump and wishes him ill but cherishes their own life. The essential findings, via Napolitan Institute:

The desensitization of some Americans following the second assassination attempt of former President Trump is alarming…That figure includes 28% of Democrats who say that America would have been better off if Trump had been assassinated. Another 24% of Democrats were not sure. …Despite two assassination attempts in two months, just over half of all Democrats (51%) don’t see a need to increase Trump’s security detail.

A successful assassination would invariably, no matter what contingencies are considered, produce widescale mass political violence, economic calamity; and, in all likelihood, irrevocable disintegration of our civil society. We literally came a millimeter away from the end of the American experiment on July 13th.

Hasn’t every Democrat at some point met a Trump supporter? Certainly they must know these people have guns and already massively distrust and even hate the government for good reason. They’re not just going to let their leader take a headshot without some serious retaliation. And this poll is not an outlier in terms of Democrat opinions or rhetoric.

Highly influential Congressman Jamie Raskin, in a criminally underreported story, announced a few months ago that he and his colleagues would use the 14th Amendment to try to prevent Trump from taking office; even in the event he wins the election. Via The Federalist:

If you listen to U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the real insurrection will be led by Democrats and it will begin on Jan. 6, 2025 — should the American people dare to elect former President Donald Trump president again.

In a video clip making the rounds Monday on social media, the far left firebrand laments what he characterizes as a lazy U.S. Supreme Court interfering with the Democratic Party’s plan to interfere with the 2024 election.

“And so [the court] want to kick it to Congress, so it’s going to be up to us on Jan. 6, 2025 to tell the rampaging Trump mobs that he’s disqualified,” Raskin said in a panel discussion on Feb. 17, as the Supreme Court was mulling the constitutionality of the leftist Colorado secretary of state’s use of Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to remove Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot.

“And then we need bodyguards for everybody and civil war conditions all because nine justices — not all of them, but these justices who have not many cases to look at every year, not much work to do, have a huge staff, great protection — simply do not want to do their job and interpret what the great 14th Amendment means,” Raskin declared at a Washington, D.C. bookstore gathering of self-important leftists.

Jamie Raskin is saying that congress will STOP Trump from taking office even if he’s chosen by the voters.

Raskin’s rant may rank among the more incendiary comments about the court since U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., unleashed his “release the whirlwind” diatribe at a pro-abortion rally on the steps of the high court in 2020. The congressman’s vitriol simply cements the fact that the same people calling Trump a threat to democracy would assault the will of the people to keep the Republican from governing.

“Congressman Raskin continues to stoke the flames of division in this country through his use of incendiary language aimed at his political opponents, and once again proves the hypocrisy of leftists like him who slander conservatives in an attempt to mask progressives’ proclivity towards violence which has been on full display in cities and college campuses across America in recent times,” U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y., told The Federalist Monday evening.

Raskin’s office did not respond to a request for comment. His bellicose statements will mean nothing if Republicans take back the Senate and hold the House, but they are a look into the Trump-hating radical mindset of Democrats that will stop at nothing to maintain power. In a tinder box election year seared by an assassination attempt against the GOP’s presidential candidate, Raskin’s threatening rhetoric now seems more like the release of the whirlwind than ever.

Clearly, MAGA would not tolerate such a brazen usurpation of the power of the state to subvert the democratic will of the people. War would surely ensue in such a scenario, as Raskin himself concedes.

Furthermore, we also now have bona fide political prisoners in these United States — a phenomenon once confined to Third World despots and the communist regimes of yesteryear. Hundreds of nonviolent Capitol tourists are still rotting in Federal prison.

All of which begs the question: how much more abuse will Americans tolerate from the Democrats and their Deep State sponsors? This isn’t to cheerlead civil war; it’s a sober analysis of cause and effect.Where things go post-November is entirely up in the air, but a peaceful continuance of power in Washington DC definitely doesn’t look good no matter how the likely-rigged election turns out.✪
