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.”

    all right, fine. let’s kill the rebel scum all over again. this time, we won’t stop. we’re going to make Sherman look like a sparkler. there will be nothing left of the south except ashes and regret.

    hyperbolic jokes aside, I’m not even PART of “we”; none of my ancestors came here until the 20th century. none of my bloodline was present for the American Civil War.

    if that has to change, though, I’m gonna be PISSED, and I’m going to take it out on enemy combatants.
