Is Trump Whipping Up Violence In Anticipation of the Mueller Report?
By Thom Hartmann A...
We may be on the verge of seeing the Mueller report, at the same time that Steve King is encouraging Trump followers to prepare for a civil war, saying his side has "8 trillion bullets." Thank about that - a civil war is the only kind of war where, literally, neighbors kill their neighbors, family members murder family members, all in the name of politics.That's what Steve King and others in the GOP are calling for or implying in their not-so-subtle ways. Even Trump is talking about how he's got the cops and the bikers, and, if Oregon's experience is any indicator where the cops were coordinating with the Proud Boys, Trump is right. So, how do we respond? Prepare for a war and get ready to kill our neighbor if he shows up at our house with an AR-15?
In any other time in our lifetimes even suggesting such a thing would have been considered insane, but the biggest backers of Trump/Pence now are evangelicals who think this is the end time, which is also supposed to be a bloodbath.
Or how do we stop this rhetoric from the Bannon/Pence apocalyptic right, or at least marginalize it, when the guy in the White House keeps whipping it up, and, when the Mueller Report comes out, will probably put a civil war front and center for his own re-election campaign to keep himself and his family out of jail?

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Never one to shy away from the truth, Thom Hartmann’s collected works are inspiring, wise, and compelling. His work lights the way to a better America."
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann is a literary descendent of Ben Franklin and Tom Paine. His unflinching observations and deep passion inspire us to explore contemporary culture, politics, and economics; challenge us to face the facts of the societies we are creating; and empower us to demand a better world for our children and grandchildren."
