Asnorban posted:As Schiff did that I knew it would immediately be turned against him. The report and summary of the call that the WH released was damning enough he should have just quoted those directly. He should know better than to give an easy line of attack like that, no matter how stupid it is. As far as I can tell, the only person leaning hard on mischaracterizing Schiff's little Mob boss riff there is Trump himself. Maybe it wasn't necessary, but I don't see it harming the investigation. After all, the memo did a fine job of characterizing Trump as a tinpot Tony Soprano well before Schiff spoke.

Im a little worried that some extremely partisan chuds are going to actually think there is a civil war and maybe start attacking people. I guess I just need to be talked down, but does anyone else think it is possible that a lot of these right wing militias might do something a little more daring than taking over a nature preserve?

I mean it's still not a reason to panic, but they've been organizing and planning decentralized terrorism for twenty years, and the the closest thing to a code word would be the president calling for civil war. Civil war is kinda something you can start if you believe it has started, too.

There is no (zero) point to looking for the magic combination of words that will make Fox report the unvarnished truth and turn your racist uncle woke. It doesn't matter what you say or do, because the right chooses to devaluate words and reason. You can't win an argument with such people, because the only reason they care about logic is that it gives them a weapon to use against people who do believe in it. What is true is what they believe and any confrontation with reality will devolve into a retreat into that belief. So stop trying and telling people they should. There's no point in attempting to appease the right. They'll twist whatever you say, and if what you say can't be twisted, they'll just lie about what you said.

With all this civil war talk, I have some notes from The War On Everyone:quote:During this time, in the late 1970’s, Louis Beam was very active…Started Camp Polar, a paramilitary training camp in Oklahoma, where white supremacists instructed Explorer Scouts for civil war with the left, blacks, and Jews, homosexuals, and communists, etc…Parents of the children were outraged when they learned their 15-19 year old kids were learning paramilitary techniques and racial slurs at the camp. Training and loading using live ammunition. During these years there was less daylight between military and extremist groups, kkk membership wasn’t explicitly forbidden…many joined both…weapons smuggling also was common in the direction of extremist groups…Oregon stand-off is a more modern example of this history playing out… quote:Louis Beam admitted he set had up computer bulletin boards for different fascist groups around the country, but denied the boards were used for any illicit communication. He said he was changing his daughter’s diapers when the reported meeting that created the Order took place. He ended one speech in his defense with an almost word for word recitation of something he’d written in Essays of Klansman, that he’d written about the protesters he encountered at home:

They went to check it out the first time because they'd spent so much time fantasizing about it and talking that way. Turns out war was ugly and they didn't like it after that.

AlBorlantern Corps posted:Growing up in Alabama I repeatedly heard the myth as a child that families would go out with picnic blankets to watch civil war battles  This was true for the first battle of Bull Run, but it was people from DC who expected the south to quickly get their rear end kicked and the war to be over almost immediately. After the battle turned I believe the spectators were forced to flee and the whole picnic-ing at war battles fad dropped rapidly in popularity.

There are a lot of Civil War / Treason topics trending and they are all full of people making jokes. Either Twitter canned a bunch of Pro-Trump bots or the real people are somehow drowning out the fake people this time. Either way, Trump is not in control of the narrative. He is flailing.
