Kirk was known for sharing extreme and provocative positions online and in frequent on-campus appearances. His killing has sparked messages threatening violence.
I am curious what the logistics of a civil war would be, when the dividing issue is right wing vs left wing.
Would it be state vs state? City vs city? Neighbour vs neighbour?
I imagine a lot of people in red and blue cities would need to pack up and get the fuck out of Dodge if they are in a city that’s predominately the other side. Or even the state itself.
Would cities mobilize their militarized police forces or would the police revolt in blue cities since they are mostly right wingers?
It would probably be the federal government, probably the military, and probably the police forces, plus the wing citizens vs just the left wing citizens. I don’t see that ending well, since left wing citizens aren’t as likely to have guns either.
I bet money there are plans in motion for stochastic terrorism. It makes me sick to think about.
What I fear is many local groups or “militias” each hunting individuals that their local group dislikes. Why do you think they’re making lists?
Those who shared a meme about “his” death, people they know as being trans or overly left… It’s an implied death threat, beneath the pretext of “we’re going to try and get you fired!”
The short story is that if the military sticks together, then whatever they want is what reality is. It doesn’t really matter what the cops think at that point.

What I’m afraid of is an American Kristallnacht.
