Just over a week after an assassination attempt against Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump resulted in the killing of one bystander and left two people critically injured, a GOP state senator from Ohio was condemned for saying a Democratic victory in November would result in a “civil war.”

“I believe wholeheartedly Donald Trump and Butler County’s JD Vance are the last chance to save our country, politically,” state SEn. George Lang (R-4) said  at a rally for Vance, the first-term U.S. senator from Ohio whom Trump selected as his running mate last week. “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.”

    Good luck with that. Just remember that the military answers to the President and that they own all the tanks.

          No the government will have hundreds of thousands of drones and can basically take out anyone they want if there was a civil war
