    It’s what has me iffy on them threatening civil war. On the one hand, I don’t want to see people die. On the other hand, if it happens and is swiftly put down, then it won’t matter what the states who participated on the losing side say - That’s flat out treason, so they would HAVE to capitulate to the terms of the winners with said terms at least including, “Every politician that was for it being removed, banned from politics, thrown in jail, and lots of reform done to prevent these fucks from ever being able to lock up the political process again”

      You would think that treason would be something the justice system would act on, except the last guy to try a coup is still very much out of jail and running a campaign for President so I’m not so sure the system is equipped to deal with that. Mobilizing all the apathetic couch sitters to go vote seems like a much preferable alternative.
