After King Charles was tried, sentenced, and executed for treason, Oliver Cromwell retired for a time, leaving the government in the hands of parliament. He believed that only they had the right to run the government, not some dictatorial king. Even though he was offered the position of king, he refused.

After some time, it became clear that parliament was just as corrupt as the king was. Instead of one corrupter, there were many, each using each other to exploit tge English commoner. Worse yet, they had refused to allow elections for a new parliament, making themselves the Long Parliament.

And so Cromwell addressed parliament laying out the case for what should've been done vs. what they actually did. At the end of his speech, he summoned the military into the house and bade the parliament disbanded. What followed until his death was his administration of the English government.

When Trump addresses the senate, I hope we see the same thing. Rather than defend himself, he should lay at their feet every bit of evidence of their crimes. As he wraps up his case, drawing upon the same authority that Cromwell called upon, the rightness of his cause and God's mercy, he should disband the federal government.

That would be pretty cool I think.

It will never happen. Idk why everyone on this site and 4chan pretend exactly the first commenter said as well. There is never going to be a civil war here. Never. It's impossible by today's standards. All that can happen is people fucking throwing a fit and rioting in cities, and that clearly doesn't work in terms of helping anything. Plus, Trump ain't doing shit. He could have before he left office but didn't. Pence cucked him, proving that no one in our government is loyal to anything outside the SINGLE party they truly represent. Congressional elects themselves and what they gain and control. No need to stock up on shit either, they need to keep us buying shit and taxing our shit otherwise they can't pull off their own interest. How do people not see what's right in front of them

I am sure many felt like you after the Boston Massacre. Revolution is impossible! We can never defeat the British Empire! Why even try, and jeopardize our families and fortunes?

History is full of people who refuse to do anything when God calls upon them to do something.

But never forget: Jonah eventually went to Ninevah.

People didn't believe there was a revolution happening until the armies were engaging in battle in their back yards.

A lot didn't believe we could actually win until Cornwallis surrendered!

One of my favorite quotes, paraphrased: "don't say 'that won't work.' Try it. Saying, 'that didn't work,' thats ok."

Edit: not advocating the war part, addressing the part of the original post where a case is laid out by President Trump if he speaks to the senate.

I'm not saying Trump WILL do it, just that there is historical precedent.

I believe Trump is attempting a bloodless revolution to restore the constitutional republic. I don't know the details of how he intends to do it, but I remain loyal to him.

There was also historical precedent for federally calling for militias to form yet he didn't do that. Or use his own EO, or the insurrection act. Trump is a pacifist, he can't lead us in these times any more.
