because Trump, and far right are (undoubtedly) scum they should all be murdered asap. There's atleast one person here openly hoping for civil war.

Remember more Americans were killed in the civil war than by ALL other countries in ALL other wars combined.

Don't exaggerate.

This is either completely rubbish or so badly worded. All other countries in all other wars combined? The Soviet Union and China lost more than 20 million lives each in WW2.

As per Statista there were indeed a comparable number of American fatalities in the Civil War to the combined deaths in other military conflicts. Bear in mind, however, that this graph explicitly refers to combatants and not civilians:

I'm not sure whether the majority of people in this thread are calling for a repeat of that internal conflict on the whole as opposed to highlighting the possibility of its return, any more than I think emphasising the role of FAFO in Kirk’s murder is in any way an exultation.

Most responders I've seen here are indifferent as opposed to celebratory and have chosen primarily to draw attention to his own callous reaction to the deaths of his fellow Americans in similar circumstances. The whoopers and hollerers don't seem to be as characteristic of GTP as most of the complainers seem to be saying they are to me. Maybe they're just posting more often.

So I don't know how prevailing a sentiment this is among conservatives but I think this makes it clear that Brian Kilmeade believes it is a prevailing sentiment, because I really don't think the bitch is going to say anything that puts employment at risk and so there must be an assumption that Fox News won't take action because the regular audience doesn't reject it.

But I was thinking about the "involuntary" bit and initially thought it was absurd because who would choose that, but it occurs to me that people do and that conservatives resoundingly oppose the existence of the option because of their dismissive attitude toward consent...which then makes me think Kilmeade's position may not be rejected by the regular audience.

Apologies for misunderstanding, @sirjim73.

Of course, it goes without saying that civil wars are frequently the most destructive wars a nation can face.

Though one also does have to keep in mind that the Civil War had such enormous casualties due to it being fought with outdated weaponry like smoothbore muskets that required much closer engagement ranges, outdated Napoleonic tactics with large blocks of men marching through open terrain right into cannon fire, and outdated medical practices that greatly reduced the life expectancy of anyone who ended up wounded, among a lot of other factors that wouldn't really apply to warfare today.

If a conflict on that scale happened today, you wouldn't be seeing casualty numbers anywhere near that. If anything the number of civilian casualties would probably be the larger and more disturbing one, from people either being unable to get clear of the fighting or trying to get directly involved.

Yeah, that is probably what he figured and likely he's not wrong. I doubt anything will come of it, probably not even an acknowledgement.

Trump and his ilk will praise the words so nothing will happen. I assume RFK Jr. will also praise it, since his family sort of also felt that way.
 
They hated it because it told them the truth instead of what they wanted to hear.

I suppose Grok is going to become MechaHitler again.
 
Read a comment just today about people saying "his poor wife" but said commenter pointed out that it's pretty likely that spouses are like-minded people; sure, it's not nice for her that her husband was shot in the neck but it's not as though she's automatically a shrinking violet who wouldn't say boo to a goose.

You would think it would eventually click that it's not Grok that's broken considering how many times this has happened in the brief period Grok has been available. He really is like a dog that just can't grasp the concept of a screen door.

I remember a short Twitter thread where they were blaming libs for "flooding" Grok with fake information, & that's why he keeps saying "woke" things.

Speaking of the Epstein files… more troops being sent to troubled cities. Pam Bondi saying they’re going to send troops to cities that “want them there.”.
I'd love to see a list of those cities.
