“The risk of death turns people on.” – Rush
What’s more than 9, but not quite to step 10? This clock.
- Common violence. Organized violence is occurring monthly.
- Opposing sides develop governing/war structures. Just in case.
- Common violence that is generally deemed by governmental authorities as justified based on ideology.
- Open War.
As close as we are to the precipice of war, be careful. Things could change at any minute. Avoid crowds. Get out of cities. Now. A year too soon is better than one day too late.
In this issue: Front Matter – Signals – Violence And Censorship Update – Updated Civil War 2.0 Index – Running Out Of Options – Links
Front Matter
Welcome to the latest issue of the Civil War II Weather Report. These posts are different than the other posts at Wilder Wealthy and Wise and consist of smaller segments covering multiple topics around the single focus of Civil War 2.0, on the first or second Monday of every month. I’ve created a page (LINK) for links to all of the past issues. Also, subscribe because you’ll join nearly 620 other people and get every single Wilder post delivered to your inbox, M-W-F at 7:30AM Eastern, free of charge.
Signals
- Senator Ted Cruz from Texas brought up the idea that Texas should secede from the Union in November, if the Democrats “fundamentally destroy the country.”
- Three counties in Maryland are looking into leaving Maryland and going to West Virginia.
- Oroville, California declared itself a “Constitutional Republic” where federal and state ‘Rona mandates don’t apply.
Those are all stories from November. This isn’t an all-exhaustive list, since it doesn’t include all of the cries for a national breakup should abortion be thrown back to a state-by-state decision. More than anything, though, they’re a sign that people are talking about national divorce everywhere.
By itself, these would be nothing more than ramblings. But in virtually every public issue except for spending as much money as is humanly possible (where the Democrats and Republicans are in harmony), the polarization is advancing and accelerating.
What is Voyager 1’s favorite cheese since it’s over a billion miles from Earth? Probe Alone.
There is little agreement of what the United States even is in 2021 – as Empire fades, we see that we are hollowed out. Left and Right cannot agree on anything. The “Jab” is a perfect example: the Left sees it as a new Holy Sacrament, and the Right sees the apparatus supporting it as a potential Mark of the Beast-level of Evil.
Violence And Censorship Update
In violence, Portland again takes the Riot Prize for convulsing in a violent pity-party after Kyle Rittenhouse was found not guilty. Portland wasn’t the only place, but seemed to have the greatest degree of destruction. The violence was initiated by the Left.
- Project Veritas Raid
Project Veritas has been a thorn in the side of the Left since James O’Keefe pointed out the hypocrisy of Project Acorn, where Leftist activists gave him pointers on how to have his (fictitious) 13 year-old-Ecuadoran prostitutes as a tax deduction and helped him apply for a loan for his brothel.
Since then, he’s engaged a series of high-profile stunts that mix real reporting with “I can’t believe he got away with that” publicity ideas. The Left hates this guy. So, what to do?
I hear Hillary is a ruthless editor, too. She took one guy’s colon out.
Use the full force of the FBI to investigate him, conduct an early-morning raid on his house, and leak personal information as well as electronic conversations with his lawyer to a party he was suing: The New York Times®. The use of the federal government to harass people who embarrass the Left is nothing new, but going after journalists is a blatant attempt at censorship.
- YouTube® Dislike Button
We have known for several years now that YouTube® is against the Right. Creator after creator on the Right has been first demonetized and then kicked off the platform. This forces people with unpopular (from YouTube’s® perspective) opinions to have to seek alternative platforms.
Now it’s a war against the viewer. One very easy way to show that you didn’t like a video was to hit the “dislike” button. This very simple act made it easy to share a very simple opinion. “I didn’t like this.”
YouTube© sold this change on the idea that it would “help protect” small creators. Nope. This was entirely aimed at not showing how many dislikes Biden’s videos got. This was for creators like Disney™ to avoid dislikes on their videos. This allows them to manufacture consent (LINK) by hiding the fact that there are huge numbers of people that disagree with The Leftist Narrative.
How is YouTube® like the government? They both break their own rules.
- New Twitter CEO
A single quote is all you need to understand the bans will intensify: “Focus less on thinking about free speech, but thinking about how the times have changed.”
Updated Civil War II Index
The Civil War II graphs are an attempt to measure four factors that might make Civil War II more likely, in real time. They are broken up into Violence, Political Instability, Economic Outlook, and Illegal Alien Crossings. As each of these is difficult to measure, I’ve created for three of the four metrics some leading indicators that combine to become the index. On illegal aliens, I’m just using government figures.
Violence:
Up is more violent, and our perception of violence is holding steady, despite riots in major cities after the Rittenhouse verdict. Perhaps we’re just getting used to it?
Political Instability:
Up is more unstable, and it ticked up this month again.
Economic:
Economic feelings finally dropped.
Illegal Aliens:
This data was at record levels last three months, but finally dropped. Now it’s just near a record level (and record for this time of year).
Running Out Of Options
Biden’s approval rating is in the dirt. Almost everything that could be a difficulty, is a difficulty. When Bill Clinton was in this position, he hired nominally Republican staffers to help him. They “triangulated” and tried to find positions where the Left and Right could be ignored, and a compromise solution could be proposed. It worked, and without his lying under oath, this strategy made him a much more effective President.
Biden does not appear to have that luxury. Viewed on the Left as a compromise that could defeat Trump, there’s no real excitement for him outside of his bedroom, and, honestly, probably not there either. The Hard Commie Left considers him a fascist, the progressives consider him a sell-out, and the moderate Left barely exists anymore. Biden’s base . . . doesn’t exist.
Sadly, this made-up stuff is actually more coherent than a lot of his actual comments, you lying dog-faced pony soldier.
The Right doesn’t like him at all, and is following the post-1990 opposition playbook of “do anything to make him fail” that only had a short truce after 9/11.
Who does that leave?
Well, he tried mandating “the Jab” because, with 59% of Americans double-jabbed, he thought that he could get someone on his side. Ooops. Turns out that only the hardcore Left want to take people’s jobs and then put them in camps if they’re not vaxxed. It was a longshot, and (right now) it looks like a big failure.
The scary part of this is that when people are really far down, they tend to take major risks to try to win. If it’s the bottom of the ninth and there’s a runner on base and you’re up at bat, the chances of swinging for the fence to get a homer go up. Why? Nothing left to lose, baby.
Like I said – scary. What policies will he try and how will he push in order to gain the support of the Left? And will that push the United States even farther apart?

I might have missed it in all the links, but one of the most interesting CW developments is Desantis pushing for a state military not beholden to the Feds.
https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/584178-desantis-proposes-civilian-florida-state-guard-military-force-he-would
I did some research on the topic of state militaries awhile ago for, uh, book research purposes. One of the funniest things I found was that a Dem governor had created a state naval force, supposedly because a donor wanted to be an officer in it. That governor was Rod Blogoyevich and the state was Illinois. I guess his buddy wanted to be Grand Admiral of Lake Michigan. [this is not from the Babylon Bee]
I think Desantis is heading in the right direction, but the demographics of FL and it’s nearest neighbors is worrisome. I’ll be a lot happier when midwestern and plains states raise armies, with perhaps a multi-state committee involved in their training and deployment…
I like it. Oklahoma is looking for independence, too.

I hear they’re changing the API so that won’t work on 12/13.
“What policies will he try and how will he push in order to gain the support of the Left?” I am afraid the answer to that might be in the works, the media is gleefully repeating the same talking points about Russia preparing to invade Ukraine and a war with Russia would be a distraction both parties would mostly get behind: https://www.arthursido.com/2021/12/the-tail-is-getting-ready-to-wag.html
I’m hoping that’s wrong. We have NO business in the Ukraine.
Without knowing the real reasons behind things, it must be very puzzling for normies to wonder why we must protect Europe from a nation with 1/3 it’s population. There are 4 nations within the EU that have a larger GDP than Russia…
Yup. And Putin (as of now) just wants to make money off of energy sales. Doesn’t really compute.
“Civil War” is not the only thing with “ten steps”. Over on Gold, Goats and Guns, Tom has noted that lockdown of the unvaxxed puts us between steps 7 and 8 of “Genocide”…

I have a white pill for you if I can retrace my steps down the rabbit hole and give you the link. Some chap called Lindsey?
Until then, TL’DR: One of the most potent acts of resistance to this insanity is to live in the real world
At work, I am deep, deep in looney-ville. The stories I could tell-! Then I join the Homeschool co-op, or church, and it is as if clown world is gone it’s all normal people living normally. One sees the occasional sad sack in a cloth mask, but .. eh .
We went dancing after church. Such fun!
It won’t be our guns (though that is a good excuse and maybe a deterrent as the bad actors project like a multi-screen IMAX), but our churches and our pig-headed insistence on living as we wanna.
Even deep in the Indigo.
Yup. That was partially the metric I used to develop the 10 steps . . . (plus a Civil War one).
I note that in a half dozen of my links above, for some reason part of the link is shown in black text rather than blue hyperlink. To see those, you gotta copy those links manually and paste ’em directly into the address bar of your browser. Not sure why that happened.
I see that. I might try to fix that, but not at 4am 🙂
The economy is going to tick up big time in December and January. Some companies have backed off the mandates, but more of them continue to do the dirty work the Feds won’t/can’t do. Much job displacement. Much fuel/energy/heating cost increases coming. Much inflation (particularly in food) too.
Crime is also spiraling now. Armed home robberies, flash mob looters, carjackings. The police have been cut seemingly everywhere in even moderate-sized cities. People aren’t even reporting because the police fail to show up. Lots of businesses look like fortified compounds with goods hidden away. Is this counted somewhere in the charts, and should it be?
No, it isn’t.
The media is hyping reports of “spiraling” crime, beyond all rhyme or reason, let alone beyond all respect of the actual ration with regard to reality. Try to remember that the camera show you a 15° slice of reality, by cutting out the other 345° from your view. But sizzle is not the same thing as steak.
I don’t know – shortages are causing difficulty, and energy prices are playing hob with work.
The fun will kick off when the EBT crowd finds out even WITH the Emergency Love ME Socialist Democrats EBT FUNDING They can’t Find enough food to feed themselves.
The Socialist Democrats are a One Trick Donkey of MOAR FIAT DOLLARS to cover their Asses when their failures enrage the Mobs.
They cannot provide food to buy with those Fake Dollars.
Then or while they’re “Showing Heartfelt CONcerns ” (spelling intentional) THEY WILL use Propaganda that the EVIL White Horders are to Blame.
Prepare for CNN driven Mobs coming to a community near you.
Thats the kick off for CW 2.0
There was an EBT “glitch” some years ago (may have even been SNAP at that time) at Walmart that caused sheer panic. People started carrying goods out the door. Sound familiar? I never found out if it was indeed a glitch, or a test. But as far as Maslow is concerned, you’re spot on.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ebt-benefit-card-glitch-sparks-walmart-shopping-sprees-in-louisiana/
Doubling EBT doesn’t help when food prices triple.
I agree with you about getting out of the big cities, however, the smaller, 2nd and 3rd level tiers seem safe enough.
2 of my kids live on the West Side of Cleveland, OH. The vast majority of the “hood” types live on the East Side, generally in a relatively compact area of town.
On the West Side, there are a LOT of city workers – teachers, police, firemen, and other stable jobs. They generally own their homes, and often make considerable sacrifices to send their kids to private or charter schools.
And, they are generally prepared to defend their property. Not looking for trouble, but not inclined to let it roll over THEIR property.
Many people have to live in these smaller cities, as they need access to medical facilities and other services only readily available in the more urban areas. To be fair, these cities are more like a small town, or a suburb of larger cities.
For many of these places, the biggest problem will be to keep the food flowing in. But, in Lorain, we’re less than 10 miles from actual farmland. The local guys with trucks can easily handle moving in basic meat, produce, and other necessities, should it be needed. Understand, I’m not talking about guys with cargo vans or pickups, but actual truckers with access to semi-trailers.
Ifox328–Yep! Our North Shore ain’t been called the “Best Location in the Nation” for nothing. Been here close to 8 decades–born ‘n bread in Slavic Village, Cleveland, now moved out a mite (30 mi) and things are defensible here in tghe 3rd tier areas. Me thinks the “Tribe” east of the Cuyahoga River which usually causes grief, will get rapidly put in their place (@3,200 fps) when things get Sporky.
Been hearing “Enough is enough already!” from many ethnic quarters. Folks ready, willing, and able to defend their families and property when the predators roam outside their hood.
Meantime–stay safe, stock food ‘n water. Keep your head on a swivel. Be vigilant.
The other side of Cleveland . . . is still Cleveland. And crime is quickly moving to the nicer parts of big cities.
As a native, Texas certainly has the wherewithal to file for divorce. The topic still bubbles up from time to time. But having lived the last 25 years in Florida, I’ve now got other fish to fry.
With all of the migration to Florida, especially over the last two years (over 900 people a day moving here), I was shocked to learn that Florida actually turned Red this year. Not by much, but we picked up the 300,000 registered Republicans it took to push it over the top. I had long been concerned about the influx and what it might bring. And to be sure, it did bring some whiners. When “Don’t New York My Florida” t-shirts are the hottest selling commodity next to “Let’s Go Brandon,” you know the struggle is real. But thankfully, the majority of immigrants appear to be the disenfranchised.
For the record, I have no issues with New Yorkers per se. I have issues with the people from everywhere, that move here and actively, vocally and forcefully press for all the pain and misery that drove them here in the first place. And to be sure, they are here — in real numbers. I don’t just resent them. I want those hypocrites relocated on a white jet with no windows.
Like every other table top exercise, it would be very interesting to see what a “National Divorce” might really look like. My initial thought is that it would be a protracted, hot mess, much like Brexit. Mounds of bureaucracy and bluster. No movement. No progress. And suddenly, over three and a half years later, it’s a “done” deal. And just now, they’re in the progress of figuring out what bought in terms of trade, alignment, bureaucracy, and economic impacts.
But our motivations for divorce are much different than theirs. I would characterize their divorce as “administrative.” Ours is geo-political, with a completely different set of ideological ramifications. Anybody’s guess how ugly that might get.
The elites won’t let anyone go. It’s not about building a stable nation to them, it’s all about the power. Yugoslavia X Rwanda is coming, if we are lucky. If we are unlucky, it will be a global Soviet Union.
It would look like Beirut, Bosnia, and Rwanda, combined. Endlessly, for years.
House to house, floor to floor, and room to room.
The entire country is purple, not red nor blue.
Anyone that says different can’t do math with their shoes on.
Yup. Leftists should be made to stay in the paradise they created.
“…three counties in maryland…”
My mother was born in Western MD – Frostburg (Allegany Co.). Have a few scattered 2nd cousins there, who say the Baltimore area and the DC suburbs get all the $$$ thay pay in state taxes. Raw deal.
Have a good friend up in Charlotte whose family sold the Cumberland (also Allegany Co.) paper to the NYT 30 or so years ago. Will send you what ha says. But, he’s a never-trumper republican and will likely say “they’re crazy”.
Yup. And (observation) the Leftist states have horrible country roads, and vice-versa.
Not much left we can do personally on any of this only collectively. The economy will have to crash and thousands of jobs lost before there is nothing left to lose.
In the mean time voting doesn’t matter but write in Thomas Massie in 2024 by then we “may” catch them with their pants down as counting will be slow to add up to the number of votes they need to win.
Voting should be done and counted on election day. Period. Not counted? Too bad.
One problem with all the people who are predicting (un)Civil War is, and will be for the foreseeable Future, the Fact that the politicians and (((moneychangers))) DO NOT WANT a ‘civil war’, ‘secession’, or ‘breakup’ of the FUSSA. That would be Bad for Profits. This is why you see writers such as Mr. Wilder stuck at “Two Minutes ’til Midnight” for Years on end.
(No, I’m not slamming on Him or other Writers. This Site does an Excellent Job of pointing out the Political Corruption that is Degrading this Nation.)
The Root of the “Scam”, Fiat Paper ‘money’ created by (((banks))) has been running in the U.S. since 1913, and it is what has allowed the judeo-communists to effectively Take Over the entirety of the ‘government’, at all Levels. It is NOT in the best interests of the communists to have a real Breakup of the Nation, for that would almost Immediately lead to the feral government Losing all ‘authoritay’ over just about everything. Without the ‘government’ remaining Intact, there would exist No Force or Organization that could do things like, say, “Mandate” that the Citizens receive a Toxic, Genocidal, Biowar “vaccine.”
I Believe that the judeo-communists who actually run the feral government are very much Aware of this little “Problem”, and have Learned from their Failure in Russia, and soviet-occupied Europe. I think that what we are seeing, the constant chaos in the Cities, the coronascam, the fumbling Puppet in the White House, the screeching ‘media’ that contradicts itself Daily, while obviously Propaganda efforts of extensive Co-ordination and Funding, at the end of the Day, are the signs of Desperation by the communists.
Once the (fake, fiat-money) “Economy” locks up, ALL of the means of “Control” that the communists have will Fail. Once people get Hungry, the Lights are Out and the Water (and Sewer) doesn’t Flow, Nobody is gong to give a Flying Fornication about “government” and the (((banksters))) hiding in their Bunkers will have No Method of Influencing what will Happen. So I think that we will soon see a “Backpedaling” of substantial proportions, in order to preserve… Order.
As for a “War with Russia”, go Read their official Defense Policy – the Unclassifed Version is on the MOD Website- and in essence it says “Nobody will Ever Invade Russia Again, the Bear has Nuclear Weapons”. THE Ukraine is the Borderlands of Russia, it has Never been a “Nation-State” until the breakup of the Soviet ‘union’. Remember, Kiev was the Original Capitol of Russia. it was Moved to Moscow so that invading Europeans could enjoy a lot more Russian Hospitality before “General Winter” went into action.
I agree that the bolsheviks don’t want a CW, however I think things are mostly going according to their plan. The Left has consistently stated for many decades that their Plan is to cause great chaos and upheaval such that people would be crying out for order at any cost. So when you see supply issues and the possibility of famine, this isn’t the Left losing control; it’s the Left about to assume total control to the cheers of many hungry people.
Remember that the Left has no problems starving to death vast swathes of the population to keep control, and sending to a gulag anyone who complains.
If it somehow does lead to a collapse, remember that the greatest prepper in the history of the world is the US government. They call it the “continuity of government program.” They have hollowed out mountains to ride it out in comfort, and the means to stay in communication with the military even in the event of a nuclear war. A mere financial meltdown still leaves our government as King of Turd Hill. Which I’m pretty sure would still make them very happy, as long as everyone else was unhappy.
Zorost – the Bolsheviks have always used “chaos” as a means to Power, and it does have its Uses; However, I believe that this Time, they really don’t know what they are Fkkng With- the Size, Complexity of Systems, Interrelationships among Producers/Consumers, (supply chain) Energy (increasing Costs of Petroleum) the Internet, and the Yuuuge amount of Arms(and pissed-off Vets) in the (dis)United States are Historically Unprecedented. The bolshevik’s ‘long march’ Takeover of the U.S. has spanned an Era of Change that I don’t think they comprehend, and so we are seeing “Doubling Down on Stupid” in a way that is Revealing the Failure of their entire Program.
The ‘coronascam’ is the best Example- the More Info that leaks out about the Dangers (and Genocidal Intent) of the fake ‘vaccine’, the more people who see that their Problems are caused Not by a Disease, but by “Leftists” in government, the less Influence the Parasites have over the People. And We haven’t gotten to the “Open the Cartridge Box” stage yet. If they ‘back off’ even Slightly wrt the ‘vaccine mandates’, they may reduce the chances of a Kinetic Response, if only Slightly. If they continue, and Triple-Down on Stupid, they will soon encounter people like myself, who will Refuse the Jab, Forcibly. And I’m not the guy in my AO who’s the Bugged-Out Afcrapistan Vet who ‘borrowed’ that nice .50BMG Sniper Rifle he had in the Army.
As for that “Continuity of Government” fantasy, yes, the .gov has Wasted Billions of our Taxes digging Bunkers – But, who is going to Pay Attention to them once the SHTF? How Many of their Minions will remain ‘above ground’ to Enforce their Edicts? After their Supplies run out, how will they be able to Emerge and “Take Control” of a Society that KNOWS that it was these Parasites that F-d everything up?
Anyway, Good Luck to You when it Happens….
The economy will trump all. Nothing creates instability, rage, or outcomes one cannot control than a failed economy. And in our case, Our Political And Social Betters (OPASB) have pretty much exhausted any tools they had to fix it.
The ongoing “Let us find an opponent to confront” is as amusing as it is sad. This is not the country of even 30 years ago; in the event of an actual event, I suspect the outbreak of “patriotism” will be subdued, if even noticeable.
And the systems are under stress like never before . . .
Wayciss! Hussein’s asspuppet Brandon will complete the divine right of kings scepter lightwork of the Chicago bathhouse messiah (the One!) and complete the Wakanda Fundamental Transformation.
Civil War (wayciss!) talk is only from the deplorable kulak untermenschen unperson scum who don’t have a sailfawn (cellphone) or a Fakebook/Twithiveborg latrine.
These people don’t even recognize the Chicago Jesus (the One!) as their messiah like the toothless hill scoggin troglodytes that they are.
We will have the golden West Zimbabwe Wakandatopia by any means necessary.
Forward! Yes we can!
Indeed!
West Zimbabwe Wakandatopia . . . we should sell admittance tickets . . .
The Monsters are due on Maple Street.
That takes me back. And you’re right.
Gee.
I heard that after the first dead traitor, the rest are free.
When the rule of law no longer exists (Supremes refusing to hear about election fraud!?!), well i guess its up to each individual to figure it out for themselves.
I think we’re closer to that than most people realize. A functioning court system is required to stop anarchy from being set loose on the world.
Holy monkey chow. Truer words; never spoken; etc.
Yup – without justice, high-trust becomes low-trust.
Like it or not – large parts of our country (mostly in/around big cities) are already ‘low-trust’ areas.
Do you feel safe leaving your car unlocked? How about with the keys left in it? Are porch pirates stealing packages in your neighborhood?
Do you ever leave your house unlocked? (even when at home during daylight?)
Starting to see barbed wire or property border walls with broken bottles on top?
If so – and you think you live in a high-trust society, you’re lying to yourself and/or delusional. And maybe a Democrat. But I repeat myself.
We’re generally good, but you can see it on the horizon . . .
Today the Senate confirmed Chris Magnus to lead the CPB, further eviscerating what tiny bit of border control we had. We are being invaded at an ever accelerating pace. Our currency is being destroyed – the USD has lost at least 93% of its buying power since 1970. Last year we had an electoral coup at the presidency and at least two senate seats that tipped the power in this country into the hands of overt socialists. The most critical government positions are headed by not just incompetents, but by outright saboteurs. The socialists (in both parties) are going to keep bleeding the country for years even if we could stop things right now, which we can’t and won’t. And the government knows enough not to push any hot buttons that would trigger a kinetic response. By the time patriots lock and load the nation will be in tatters. This isn’t civil war. This is shooting fish in a barrel.
This administration looks more like an enemy occupation . . .
As I’ve often said –
“Tell me – exactly what they would be doing any differently if their actual goal was to destroy our Republic?”
Well said. I can’t tell anymore.
I used to Laugh at the ‘nah-tzees’ who talked about the ZOG (((zionist occupation government))), but now, like Joe McCarthy, it seems they were Right. Want to Argue? just joogle (your congresscritter’s name) at the Temple Wall. You will see pics of xe/xir wearing a little beanie cap and swearing allegiance to a Foreign Nation and its Satanic ‘religion’.
Redlines. What is a redline?
A new “assault weapons” ban? Registration of existing semi-autos? Clearly these would be precursors to confiscation and round up of trouble makers. BTW, the BATF already keeps all 4473 and NICS records, in violation of the law. Nibble, nibble.
Control on ammunition? Same. Already there is an import ban on Russian manufactured ammo. Nibble, nibble.
Amnesty for illegals? Obvious attack on the demographic front by legitimizing invasion. Nibble, nibble.
Forced vaccination? For you? For your kids? You’d have to ask, with what? You’d be stupid to think it would be good for you.
Limits on interstate travel? Remember the Rittenhouse trial and what a big deal the media made about crossing state lines?
Vaccine requirements for domestic air travel? Is that a redline, or just a barrier? What about for train travel? Nibble, nibble.
Currency control (no cash)? The FED is already working on a digital dollar and real time clearing. They have been just waiting to see how to do it without putting Visa/MC out of business. Coins are already hard to get. Nibble, nibble.
Asset seizure? Your retirement accounts and bank accounts are already under Federal control. If you have a mortgage, oops, Feds probably own that, too, through their bond purchase program or FANNIE MAE/FREDDIE MAC. Nibble, nibble.
There have to be more. Which ones are redlines? Which ones, if implemented and not stayed by the courts, are intolerable and require a new declaration of independence?
Very, very well put. I might bring this forward on the next CWWR.
The list grows…
HR1, the Federalization of elections. Already the DOJ is attacking states, and you can bet that the extension of the covid “emergency” measures will run at least until the 2022 elections to preserve as many House seats as possible for the Democrats.
How about packing the Supreme Court? Or threatening the court with packing, the way Roosevelt did? Roe v. Wade may be that test.
Eliminating the filibuster? That is a simple procedural vote away from happening, and once it is done, there is no legal bar to stopping the one vote majority in the Senate from doing anything they want, such as packing the Supreme Court with socialists. The GOP better be paying for excellent private security for Manchin and Sinema, because it would be a shame if anything were to happen to them.
We are in such a fragile situation. A single event, one line crossed, could, perhaps even should, tip us over the brink. Because I don’t think we can find our way back to the land of the free once we’ve crossed any of these lines without paying a heavy toll.
