How close are you guys to a civil war? Whats the vibe of the people? Would you say there's a 50/50 split of for and against your current government?

I think most people are starting to realize that we are facing a choice for our future. We will either surrender, and become a brutal authoritarian nation ruled by vicious morons modelled after Nazi Germany, or we will have to take it back by violence.

It will take a while before Americans will be willing to leave their comfortable lives behind to fight. Those comfortable existences will have to cease to exist, leaving them with nothing to lose.

The outcome of the 2026 and 2028 elections will be the tipping points. If they cancel the 2026 Midterms, the fighting will start. If they cancel the 2028 Presidential Election, then America no longer exists, and it's fully on. Anyone who works for the government will be fair game.

For me, it's my family, which contains members of vulnerable demographics. If the government does anything to them, especially my child, I will have nothing left to lose, and I will become very dangerous. My child is my personal tipping point. Hurt them, and I will hurt you.

We're not in a civil war situation because the republican voters are happy that their guy won the election so they stopped paying attention, and the democrat voters still think that we can vote our way out of this. The liberals protests are non disruptive and entirely legal, they're only goal is to get people to vote democrat. The protest groups leadership has been hijacked by status quo democrats, in an effort to minimize impact and "keep the peace".

Once again, I'm extremely grateful to live in Australia

Particularly where I live. It's probably one of the safest parts of the entire world
