Donald Trump argued that a GOP budget bill should help only Republican states instead of benefiting Democratic governors.

“We’re going to make a couple of tweaks,” Trump said of his “one big beautiful bill” during a Tuesday trip to Capitol Hill. “I mean, we don’t want to benefit Democrat governors, although I would do that if it made it better, but they don’t know what they’re doing.”

“We want to help all the states, but we have governors that are from the Democrat [sic] party, let’s say New York, Illinois, big ones, and let’s say Gavin ‘Newscum,’ who’s done a horrible job in California.”

      The civil war has already started- and the “opposition” seems pretty content to spend the first stages allowing MAGA to set up the battlefields and terms of engagement to their liking.

      They have said the next civil war we’ll be bloodless if the left allows it. And it seems the left doesn’t even know they are in a civil war.

      It’ll be super fucked if we do. If it’s left vs right you’ll have most of the major cities besieged by rural folk. If it’s state on state, Red and blue states both will have to “secure” vast swaths of their populations or suffer constant sabotage.

      This isn’t as easily cut and dry, north vs south, as the US civil war was. Modern civil war would be a hell of destroyed cities and slaughtered or starving innocents. Just look at all current conflicts. You may be tired now, but it’s nothing compared to the reality of what USCWII would be.

          I mean… when they stop stealing taxes from the other states and realize how little they produce on their own and how few ports they have on their river ways… They can have a merry brexit all on their own.
