MSNBC anchors, other media pundits fuel civil war fears over midterms: 'Democracy looks like it's over'
An Atlantic staff writer said he is 'bed-wetting' over the threat of civil war if Republicans are victorious in the midterms
With the midterms less than a month away, left-leaning news outlets and political commentators are resorting to dark predictions about the future of the country with warnings of imminent civil war if Republicans retake control of Congress in November.
Talk of a second civil war among liberal journalists, television personalities and lawmakers has become increasingly commonplace following the raid on former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home on Aug. 8, after which liberal pundits repeatedly claimed on-air that evolving distrust for the U.S. government among Trump supporters would lead to escalated political violence.
The topic resurfaced weeks later when President Biden called his predecessor and "MAGA Republicans" a threat to "the very foundations of our republic" in a controversial speech in Philadelphia.
In the days that followed, left-wing media figures have rallied behind Biden's messaging, giving voters a bleak ultimatum as they head to the polls: If Democrats don't emerge victorious in the midterms, they say, the country should brace for civil war.
Atlantic staff writer Tim Alberta said on The New York Times' "The Argument" podcast this week that he is "bed-wetting" over the possibility that the country could be heading "toward a meaningful scale of civic violence."
"What we are discussing is some significant scale of semiorganized, lethal, civil conflict that is organized around not just political and ideological disputes but perceived threats to economies, livelihoods," he said.
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan expressed a similar take on his show this week, where he described the 2022 midterm elections as a choice between the dismantling of democracy or inevitable insurrection.
"If the election deniers on the right win in 2022, in November, next month, to me, democracy looks like it’s over in America," Hasan said. "Fascism is here to stay. And if they lose, we get maybe another insurrection, domestic terrorism, a civil war, God forbid."
Comedian Kathy Griffin argued on Twitter that a vote for Republicans in November is a vote for civil violence.

Let them. The only people who can be driven closer to civil war by PMSNPC are the six drooling imbeciles who routinely tune in there for their marching orders.
Those of us who've been patiently waiting for these clowns to pull up their big-boy panties and step over that line (finally) are largely unaffected.

I’m not understanding this. Is this a threat from the left saying if they don’t win they’re going to start a civil war? They damn sure tried to do it after Trump won, but cooler heads prevailed.
If they ramp that shit up again over a loss, I don’t know that cooler heads WILL prevail! I don’t think the country will put up with that again, and conservatives will not lose if the SHTF.

"Democracy is over because our opponents are going to get voted into office."
The left is so captive to their fears and rage that they have lost whatever coherence they had (however little that was).

Election denial is going to be prevalent on the left in a month.

People voting contrary to what Dem shills want is "the end of democracy"?

It takes a special kind of stupid for an adult to even figuratively admit to being wound up to "bed-wetting" status.
I'm sure there's a pill for that. :whatever:

Not even the dementia addled #JoeThePretender goes there is that stupid. (I'm sure bedwetting is a recurring problem in Biden's life, as what little control he once had over his body ebbs away on a daily basis, but apparently he still has the presence of mind not to publicly discuss the topic)

"but apparently he still has the presence of mind not to publicly discuss the topic
Good for him, but ...
Too bad for the country, that he doesn't have the presence of mind to not publicly discuss anything at all, with what little he has left of his mind! :argh:
Especially ... that he still has the capability to continue to LIE his ASS OFF re his latest statement regarding the economy of the country.
"The economy is strong as hell." :argh: :argh: :argh:
Please, please. God, let him decide to retire all on his own, and SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We do not need this hopeless old fool representing our country any longer!

This sort of alarmism has been in their rhetoric for some time now, at least since George W. Bush's administration (I'm not old enough to remember Bush Sr.'s or Reagan's presidencies). It's as if the democrats at some point just collectively turned into an overgrown child with no real aspirations but to have power.

I'd posit that the lefties have been sliding down into the pit of alarmism since the late Sixties, especially regarding Vietnam. It's gotten progressively (no pun intended) worse since then with the worst of it occurring in the past 12-14 years or so. Barry had a lot to do with the slide into oblivion for those cretins and I think they're simply trying to outdo themselves in expressing their unabashed hatred for anyone and anything that doesn't embrace their stink.

Sponge Brain Shit Pants is going to EXPIRE before he's allowed to retire. In fact, I'm willing to wager that he's going to stay propped up until the puppeteers with their hands up his ass can no longer move his lower jaw due to rigor mortis, ala John Gill. (let's see if y'all understand THAT reference.) :-)

Libs’ favorite meaningless epithet of the 60s and 70s was “Fascist”. A big escalation in Progs’ nastiness came in the late 90s and early 00s when daring to disagree with Progs was “Intolerance”. Of course they weren’t intolerant when they condemned people as “intolerant”. I called it The Tolerance Game.

Oh darlin' do I ever agree 100% on with all that you wrote above ...
Both witty & true!
And now, you beast, :-) will have to look up John Gill ... Am not familiar with that name at all, at all.

Mercy! Defiant ...
Just looked up John Gill, and as a Brit born, naturalized US citizen and Anglican believer in the Trinity...
Had never heard of him. (big-time blush!)

Sorry. I assumed everybody on the board here knew enough about me to know that mine was a Star Trek reference, rather than one to the actual Englishman who originally made the name famous.
Here; try this Link (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/John_Gill) instead...

Not a problem, Defiant ...
With the exception of now, having to read your link!!! :-)
Will read it however! ~ ABC :cheersmate:
