'Targeted Assassinations' Coming if Civil War Breaks Out: Adam Kinzinger

If a civil war breaks out in the United States, Representative Adam Kinzinger believes it won't be reminiscent of the 19th century Civil War because it'll take the form of "targeted assassinations" and not state against state.

Once an unthinkable theory, growing political divisions have fueled speculation that a civil war could be looming. While some see it as inevitable, others have pushed for people to resist the possibility, and Kinzinger told The View on February 10 that it's not "too far of a bridge" to believe another civil war could happen in the United States.
However, if it does occur, he warned that it wouldn't take the same shape as it did in 1861. Instead of the traditional form of war the Civil War took, where it was "blue against gray," this time around, it would be "armed groups against armed groups," according to Kinzinger.
"Targeted assassinations, violence–that's what a 21st and 20th century civil war is," Kinzinger said. "We're identifying now by our race, by our ethnic group, we're separating ourselves and we live in different realities."
Kinzinger, a vocal critic of the GOP's loyalty to former President Donald Trump, was censured by the GOP alongside his colleague Representative Liz Cheney. During his interview on The View, he criticized the GOP for being a "once great party" that no longer stands for principles. Instead, he said the GOP stands for "loyalty to one man" and that it makes him "sad."

During an interview with CNN, Kinzinger cited Trump as one of the leading factors in whether America sees another civil war. If Trump and his allies convince enough people that the election was stolen from the former president, it's not a "far off thought" that a militia and counter militia clash, sparking a civil war.
"I never would say that we would ever have ended in that position, but I now believe it is a real possibility that we have to be wide-eyed as we walk into so we don't have that happen again," Kinzinger told CNN.
Although Kinzinger believes civil war could be on the horizon, he urged people to fight hard "against it" and put the country over political parties. He acknowledged that he used to resist talking about civil war but said it's necessary to issue warnings and discuss the possibility so that the potential for it is "recognized" and we can alter course.

Nobody will waste any time or lead on an insignificant douche like you, Adam, you little fairy boy.
Just go away.
Just go away.

While I believe a civil war in America is pretty far-fetched, there is no doubt that IEDs would be considered primitive if a civil war happened. Think of all the creative things people can make at home, like the glitter-bomb packages and flame-throwing drones. There is a whole generation that gets made fun of for being soft, but they’ve been building Lego’s and K’NEX for decades.

Balkanization is the most likely outcome. 12-18 new countries with alliances and future conquest dwindling the number down 4-6 stable and functional countries is our future.

He sounds afraid Trump could take the GOP, and is ever so coyly-- bragging they have the beast bloated govt on their side.

These people are purposefully pushing this so they can grab more power

People start doing that when they have nothing else left to lose. If DC is so scared of this maybe they should put the brakes on a bit.

The only people doing this are democrats.
No one else cares about ethnicity. They care about character.

BS. People who support Trump do so for his POLICY; if Trump were to dump policy which aligns with upholding His Oath to God to "protect and defend" our (fast dying) Constitutional Republic, those supporters would go away as fast as Conservative support for people like Cheney and Kinzinger.
He is right about civil war. It'll be a national 'Karina' type scenario. Haves v desperate and politically enraged Have nots. He is right about Race as well; thanks to the Dem Marxist strategy of divide and conquer. They own the Race Card. They'll own the blood.
