I don’t know if this has been posted somewhere else; if so, I apologize. I don’t know where else to put this. You may have heard that Alex Jones, via Twitter, told the world that the left is starting the second civil war on July 4. If you have a Twitter account, you need to search for #secondcivilwarletters. You will not be disappointed. ---

All of the civil war talk might seem like a joke, but it’s not. The rhetoric is toxic, and toxic rhetoric will, in time, incite toxic behavior. I am beginning to get the sense that the realization that they might lose the next one or two elections is dawning on them, and that they’re looking for a Reichstag moment. The right wants to incite. They want to instigate outrage with the hope that it will enable them to claim victimization. The more threatened they feel by the reaction to their daily outrage, the more they can justify establishing emergency legislation, which would be the beginning of democracy’s end in this country. ---

My dearest Tiffani, It is only now, in the brief respites before battle, that I can steal a few scant moments to put fingers to keyboard to communicate the deep, abiding emptiness that your absence causes me. I hear of our armies’ great victories at Branson, at EPCOT, at Mall of America; but the 7th Facebook Volunteers are mired in stalemate. It is only the thought of returning to your warm embrace, and your naked selfies on my phone, that sustain me in these dark times… ---

You will not be disappointed. Well heck, this ‘lefty’ :snerk: that supports the constitution, is gonna have to load up. I guess I didn’t get invited to the party. It’s quite odd that those that support Trump, don’t think it’s possible that there are many that oppose this madness that are actually quite well armed. And considering the inability of Trump to add 2 + 2, I suspect that he and his supporters may have a bit of difficulty. Sadly, you can only lead a horse to water. As the world continues to get smaller, we need to work together. There is no doubt about that. Ignorance does not lead to triumph. Never has. ---
