> Despite [Mike] Gaskill’s remarks and significant pressure from the Trump administration, the redistricting effort failed in the Indiana Senate on Thursday. The legislative body rejected the mid-decade redistricting bill by a 19-31 vote.

*If only. These MAGA morons are not Americans as I know them to be, and I would love to detach from them*
“Indiana state Senator Mike Gaskill, a Pendleton Republican, declared on Thursday that a “second civil war has already started” in the United States, as he urged his colleagues to back an ultimately* [*unsuccessful state redistricting push*](https://www.newsweek.com/india-redistricting-map-donald-trump-11193971) *backed by President Donald Trump.”
“I will submit to you that the Second US Civil War has already started. They’re just using surrogates,” the Republican lawmaker said. The Indiana state senator added, “I submit to you that that’s accurate.”
“Despite Gaskill’s remarks and significant pressure from the Trump administration, the redistricting effort failed in the Indiana Senate on Thursday. The legislative body rejected the mid-decade redistricting bill by a 19-31 vote.”
“After comparing the situation to another civil war, Gaskill also compared it to World War II, telling those in the chamber that lawmakers had the opportunity “to either be Churchills or Chamberlains,” referring to the British prime ministers in office during the war.”
“Indianapolis Councilor Nick Roberts, on X in response to Gaskill:** “This rhetoric is going to get people killed. In a time when we need to be dramatically turning down the temperature, this kind of rhetoric is just so irresponsible.”
“President Donald Trump, in a Truth Social post Wednesday night about the vote:** “Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring. If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats.”
“Indiana cannot revisit the issue ahead of the 2026 midterms, but other efforts are underway across the country to redraw maps to try to affect the makeup of the House and Senate after next November.”

More accurate to say that the first civil war never truly ended, and the south is finally ready to “rise again”

“Senator Michael Young, another Republican, said the stakes in Congress justify redistricting, as Democrats are only a few seats away from flipping control of the U.S. House in 2026. “I know this election is going to be very close,” he said.”
That’s just straight cheating. He’s saying they need to do this so democrats don’t win. I shouldn’t be, but I guess I’m still surprised sometimes by just how overt Republicans are allowed to be.

Just a warning to everyone posting – talking about civil war may get you a 7 day ban. I was banned from Reddit (not just this sub) for 7-days for stating the following: “significant political and social change is usually only achieved through r e v o l u t i o n”. No kidding, 7 day ban-worthy apparently.

Seriously? This again? This MAGA obsession with a second civil war is getting tiresome. Nobody in America wants this other than a handful of gun-toting right-wing nuts who somehow think things would be better if they could trade a functional civil society and working economy with essential services for some delusional fantasy in which they are fighting battles against, I don’t know, Antifa or something.
I’ll grant you that political violence may escalate. But there won’t be a civil war. I certainly don’t see most MAGA fighting a civil war if it means giving up their blood pressure medication or trips to Chik-Fil-A.

If the neo-Confederates lose, don’t make the same mistake like the first time. Prosecute every single one of their ringleaders and spare none of them. The people who fought for them, at the very least, should never be allowed to vote again.

The Republican ghouls are already trying to figure out where they need to stand as Trump teeters and wobbles.
They’re picking which side they want to be on when he does fall.
And I don’t mean they’re trying to figure out the “right side of history” here.
MTG picked a side and she is most definitely still a fucking lunatic asshole.

We have been in a “Cold Civil War” for quite some time as the political divide has divested further and further. We have been in an actual civil war since Donald Trump instructed his armed goons to attack the Capitol on January 6th 2021 in order to disrupt the peaceful democratic process.
