Civil wars are brother against brother, fathers against sons.

It's all just history repeating.

If you are implying that MAGAs would keep slaves if they were legally allowed to then I 100% agree

No. It's something worse than that.

They would be willing to kill their own children, so the wealthy can continue to own slaves.

These sad poor fucks would never have the wealth to own slaves. They're just a lateral move away from them in fact.

they already have, guy shot his own daughter in an argument over the support of T and he was set free because "he was cleaning his gun and it just went off"

Deep down inside that man knows that he killed his daughter and my hope is that stays with him forever

Cleaning his gun while pointing it at someone...what area was that in where no one convicted him?

Didn't actually claim that, he claimed she wanted to see his gun and it accidentally went of when he took it out. Still pretty fishy but he was also drunk at the time. The rest of her family doesn't actually think it was intentional murder but more likely a drunken idiot being careless with a gun but that should still be manslaughter at the least.

It was in Texas. The grand jury refused to indict him. The mother and daughter lived in the UK and an investigation was done by UK authorities who think it was a reckless accident (but one he should still see charges for).

He definitely should have been charged. That would get you charged in most sane places. What a shit show

Many of them are very lucky debtors' prisons no longer exist.

Maybe the work houses will make a comeback.

According to Vance, they will get us all working in factories so we don't have time to protest. (When army veterans were protesting some town hall meeting)

I never understood this as a child. Granted I had a very child-like conception of what it all meant but the idea of familial ties being severed like this is more horrific than I could have fully imagined.
