/2 I called my brother who is a lifelong Republican in deep red MAGA-ville West Texas and asked him if he would go to war for Trump. He said - "I have to get my crop planted and the girls have a stock show next weekend, so I can't fit civil war into my schedule right now."

He's a funny guy, but there is a major kernal of truth in that statement. How many Americans - even the most aggressive MAGA fans on Twitter - are willing to risk their lives and the lives of their kids and grandkids to go to war? I think the answer is - none of the sane ones.

Are the millions of insane people out there? Sure. But should we be really worried about the people who wear Trump t-shirts to MAGA rallies being any kind of threat to a SWAT team or a National Guard unit - even if thousands of them show up with AR 15s and pipe bombs?

If there was going to be an armed insurrection, wouldn't it have happened on Jan6 when they believed the election had been stolen?

I think its all a huge game of chicken. And the cowards are the people on the MAGA side. The only people truly willing to go to war and die for their beliefs by the millions are the anti-MAGA people.
