    Enough is enough. Shit like this is putting us on a path for another insurrection.

    Here is a sample letter to provide George Lang, especially if you are an OH resident. George Lang contact form

    subject: “Call for Resignation Due to Undemocratic Remarks”

    Dear Senator Lang,

    I am writing to express my profound disappointment and concern regarding your recent comments about the potential need for a civil war if certain political outcomes are not achieved. Your statement, “I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved,” is not only deeply irresponsible but also fundamentally undemocratic. Such rhetoric is dangerous and unbecoming of a public servant in a democratic society.

    As a concerned citizen, I am compelled to voice my strong objection to your words. They undermine the very principles upon which our nation was founded: the peaceful transition of power and the rule of law. Democracy thrives on debate, disagreement, and ultimately, the will of the people as expressed through free and fair elections. The suggestion that violence is an acceptable response to losing an election is antithetical to these principles.

    An apology for this grave error is simply not sufficient. The damage caused by promoting the idea of civil unrest as a solution to political disagreement cannot be undone with mere words of regret. Your statement has the potential to incite division and violence, putting our nation and its citizens at risk.

    In light of the seriousness of your comments, I call on you to resign from your position as a United States Senator. The responsibilities of your office require a commitment to uphold democratic values and to lead with integrity. Your recent remarks have shown a disregard for these responsibilities, and as such, stepping down is the most honorable course of action you can take for the sake of our country’s stability and unity.

    The United States faces numerous challenges that require thoughtful, collaborative solutions. It is imperative that our leaders prioritize dialogue and cooperation over divisive and inflammatory rhetoric. I urge you to consider the impact of your words and to take responsibility for them by resigning your seat.

    Sincerely,

    [Your First Name]

    Additionally i encourage looking up your Senators and contacting them as well:

    Subject: “Urgent: Call to Denounce Undemocratic Rhetoric and Advocate for Resignation”

    Dear Senator [Senator’s Name],

    I am writing to express my profound disappointment and concern regarding recent comments made by Senator George Lang about the potential need for a civil war if certain political outcomes are not achieved. His statement, “I’m afraid if we lose this one, it’s going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved,” is not only deeply irresponsible but also fundamentally undemocratic. Such rhetoric is dangerous and unbecoming of a public servant in a democratic society.

    As your constituent, I am compelled to voice my strong objection to such words. They undermine the very principles upon which our nation was founded: the peaceful transition of power and the rule of law. Democracy thrives on debate, disagreement, and ultimately, the will of the people as expressed through free and fair elections. The suggestion that violence is an acceptable response to losing an election is antithetical to these principles.

    An apology for this grave error is simply not sufficient. The damage caused by promoting the idea of civil unrest as a solution to political disagreement cannot be undone with mere words of regret. His statement has the potential to incite division and violence, putting our nation and its citizens at risk.

    In light of the seriousness of these comments, I call on you to take a stand against such rhetoric. I urge you to publicly denounce these remarks and advocate for Senator Lang’s resignation from his position. The responsibilities of a United States Senator require a commitment to uphold democratic values and to lead with integrity. His recent remarks have shown a disregard for these responsibilities, and as such, stepping down is the most honorable course of action he can take for the sake of our country’s stability and unity.

    The United States faces numerous challenges that require thoughtful, collaborative solutions. It is imperative that our leaders prioritize dialogue and cooperation over divisive and inflammatory rhetoric. I urge you to consider the impact of these words and to take a firm stand for democracy.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and to seeing our representatives uphold the values that make our country strong.

    Sincerely,

    [Your Name]

    Make sure to send to both senators, regardless of their party.

      It’s all fun and games until someone shoots an ear and a semi-innocent bystander whose wife refuses condolences from the President due to undying (debatable) loyalty to a demagogue

      Absolutely, bring it. These LARPer pussies need to learn a lesson, one they’re not getting from video games, firearm manufacturers, and their imbecile Discord blabberings. So funny to think that THEY think that everyone but them is quaking in fear of their ‘civil war’ talk and vague threats of violence. Nobody’s afraid of them at all, nobody respects them at all, and that’s not going to change, period.

        Everyone that encourages war never saw it. The best course with young pumped up idiots is to encourage them to find an iraq or afghan war vet to tell them “how cool war was.”

        I’ve said it before, underestimate these people at your own risk. You see the fat losers because people post funny pics. You don’t see what I’ve seen.

        The only reason they’re not a threat today is that no one voice has called them together, organized. If Trump wins you’ll see that organization bubble up over time.

    Republicans think saying “We need to stop Trump” is inciting political violence, but think this guy saying shit like this is A-Ok.

    Reminder to all the MAGA morons out there: Trump’s coup only got as far as it did in 2021 because he was in charge and did nothing to stop it. If Biden is the one in control of handing over the reins, you can bet your ass he’ll curbstomp insurrectionists. You’d be better off staying home for this “civil war” wet dream.

      you’re letting the pigs off the hook, do you think Biden or Trump would have had to say anything if the protestors were BLM protestors storming the capitol?

        Doesn’t matter if you fly a Trump flag or a BLM flag, if you storm the capitol to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power, you’re an insurrectionist.

        It’s not complicated.

        Yeah they would have.

        Trump only allowed it to happen because of who was protesting/rioting.

        Any other president or any other protesting group would have had their asses handed to them.

        If maga tries this shit again, it’s going to get real lively. Btw I have my popcorn ready

          My point is the police would have taken care of it without any input if the protestors were not far right.

      The most amazing thing about J6 is that they were all allowed to just go home.

      I still think the NG and DC Police should have surrounded the building and said “you have 5 minutes to come out and lay down, then we’re going to come in and take you out.”

      And then no one leaves until they are ID’d. None of this “4 years of trying to find these fucks.”

    Bring it on, you obese, illiterate cockroaches. I want to see your oversized, maga-smeared pickup trucks rolling coal on eachother in a traffic jam for two weeks while you all complain about how Arby’s won’t let you use the shitter unless you buy something. You can use your airsoft holsters to hold your 84 ounce fountain drinks and twinkies.

    What a bunch of fake little pussy bitches. Even the tough-guy, meat-head gym-rat conservatives will be surprised to find so many on the left are well trained and champing at the bit to solve this problem.

    Please let them do something. Please, Santa? We’ve been good all year!

    My sister married into a Republican asshole family. I’ve met these assholes and actually they are not bad people. Only one of them is actually a total cunt. So should we like wrestle each other harshly or like really go for the jugular with a broken beer bottle?

    Does this senator have some recommendations for gout? A couple of them have gout. I want to make sure they have a fair chance.

    It will probably go something like this… sister in law, so this one senator said we should have civil war because of Trump. Yeah that retard rapist felon, that one. You do? And is it that really good pie? Okay, well let’s have some pie and talk about it? And how are my sisters kid’s doing?..

    Yeah total war over here. I think maybe I’ll organize my family to kick that senator asshole out?

      Because every Republican is exactly like your sister. There are plenty of fascists that would excitedly shoot you and your sister for not being devout enough. Get your head out your ass.

        The point here is that Republicans are people like you and I. “Crazy Republicans” those are few and far between. I would otherwise believe it when I see them over a hill guns blazing.

        One very important aspect of this situation is that they got Trump in office last time because they rigged the electoral college on their favor. However if you compared their population size to the Democratic population size, there are a good ten fold more Democrats than Republicans. So if you wanted a civil war in the style of Hulk vs Superman, the republicans would be represented by a crying baby 🍼.

    Ok then, let’s organize it in a proper and civil manner, though. Everyone that wants to advocate for a civil war gets brought to the Gettysburg field in PA and they can have a “publicly” sanctioned battle to the death.

    The winners get a commemorative plate, the losers get a very large memorial center with statues built in their honor in Huntsville, Alabama.

      I mean there’s military in the south too.

      But the major thing is that while both sides will technically have nuclear weapons, only one side has the codes to launch them.

    “We need a civil war” says man completely unprepared and unwilling to fight in one.
