Nervous laughing ..... as the police keep pounding at my door
Yeah, it's going to be hilarious to be fighting in WWIII while everyone tries to convince themselves that it isn't WWIII
-
Hopefully it's just Civil War II and not WWIII. The rest of the world doesn't deserve to be dragged into our shit.
-
Even if it was just contained to US soil we'd still call WWIII like we do with the World Series.
-
Whether it's because of us or fascism is just trending globally, the rest of the world is already thoroughly dragged into our shit. We're not the only ones having this fight, we're just the most-visible and possibly farthest-along outside of Russia, Turkmenistan, North Korea, etc.

It's Civil War 2: Electric AI killing machine-aloo
-
It will be WWIII either way. A US civil war would leave a massive power vacuum, and a whole bunch of candidates trying to fill it.

.... like I said WWIII while everyone tries to convince themselves that it isn't WWIII

This is what happens when we let conservatives have any sort of power in society
Gonna get downvoted, but conservative ideals should be present to some minor extent to balance things out. I don't mean modern conservatives or Republicans, but the concept of fiscal conservatism (e.g. preventing waste in the military). I'm not talking about the fIsCaL cOnSeRvAtIsM that current Republicans preach either, like hollowing out social programs to give tax cuts to their buddies. So yeah that's of course not what we have now, but there should be a healthy balance for that kind of thing.
The problem is that what you describe is not conservatism, it's just basic competence in governance. It's an impressive achievement of the radical right that they have managed to get people to conflate the two.
You won't get downvoted. Ideally you'd have both parties suck it up and work together and combine ideologies. But.. well you know... Babies
The people who say this tend to forget that if you only take the "good things" from conservatism it ceases to be conservatism. The conservative ideology is garbage and only leads countries to a sort of destructive cannabalism.
Describing the good of the opinions that are more on the right side of the spectrum isn't going to come across as good if you use conservatives to describe it.
