"The Wraith of the Awakened Saxon" or the coming unpleasantness

Yes the title is from a Rudyard Kipling(the guy that wrote the Jungle book and many others.   But the premise of my rant is a bit different.  The past few days there has been several articles from people wanting to eliminate the 2nd amendment because it is "outdated" and no longer for the values of America.  The same people are also talking about a war between the red and the blue.   The past 20 years has seen the vitriol get worse.  Now the same people are wanting to get rid of the 2nd amendment are waging a full on assault on the 2nd and now the 1st amendment.  People are getting censured for speaking against the grouphivethink, the latest example is the ladies Diamond and Silk that got censured because facebook don't like their opinions and say that it goes against the values of the community.  Well it goes the values of the community of the left and they run the social media and the outrage machine here.  The same people that push the values of the modern Europe. The Left  believes that they are on the right side of history   Here is a quote from an article from the Twitter CEO  The Excerpt follows:

America today faces a similar juncture around fundamentally incompatible energy systems. The red states held by the Republicans are deeply entrenched in carbon-based energy systems like coal and oil. They consequently deny the science of climate change, are trying to resuscitate the dying coal industry, and recently have begun to open up coastal waters to oil drilling.
The blue states held by the Democrats are increasingly shifting to clean energy like solar and installing policies that wean the energy system off carbon. In the era of climate change, with the mounting pressure of increased natural disasters, something must give. We can’t have one step forward, one step back every time an administration changes. One side or the other has to win.

Two Classes at Odds

Another driver on the road to civil war is when two classes become fundamentally at odds. This usually takes some form of rich versus poor, the wealthy and the people, the 1 percent and the 99 percent. The system gets so skewed toward those at the top that the majority at the bottom rises up and power shifts.
The last time America was in that position was in the 1930s, during the Great Depression. We were on the road of severe class conflict that could have continued toward civil war, but we worked out a power shift that prevented widespread violence. Franklin Roosevelt, the so-called traitor to his class, helped establish a supermajority New Deal coalition of Democrats that rolled all the way through the postwar boom. The conservative Republicans who had championed a politics that advantaged the rich throughout the 1920s and promoted isolationism in the 1930s were sidelined for two generations — close to 50 years.
Today’s conservative Republicans face the same risk. Since 1980, their policies have engorged the rich while flatlining the incomes of the majority of Americans, from the presidency of Ronald Reagan through to last December’s tax overhaul, which ultimately bestows 83 percent of the benefits over time to the top 1 percent. Make no mistake: A reckoning with not just Trump, but conservatism, is coming.

Two Cultures at Odds

The differences between two economic systems or two classes that are fundamentally at odds could conceivably get worked out through a political process that peacefully resolves differences. However, culture frequently gets in the way. That’s especially true when pressures are building for big system overhauls that will create new winners and losers.
Two different political cultures already at odds through different political ideologies, philosophies, and worldviews can get trapped in a polarizing process that increasingly undermines compromise. They see the world through different lenses, consume different media, and literally live in different places. They start to misunderstand the other side, then start to misrepresent them, and eventually make them the enemy. The opportunity for compromise is then lost. This is where America is today.

Now Kurt Schlichter posted a comment/rebuttal to "Our Betters"

Tech titan Jack Dorsey of San Francisco-based social media platform Twitter applauded an article in something called Medium in which some other hipster CEO described how liberals intend to crush Normal Americans into serfdom in a bloodless “civil war.” 
Here it is. 
Ready?
It will just sort of happen. Why? Because. Americans will simply decide to be like California because of reasons and phew, no more troublesome conservatives and Gaia is saved!
So basically, wishing.
Well, that’s a kind of war plan. Perhaps by unleashing the power of hoping so they can utterly subjugate the half of America that voted against Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit and drive the people who actually operate and defend this country into silent obedience.
Or not.
Now, I know what you’re saying. You’re saying, “Why do a bunch of San Francisco dorks think that 150 million Americans with 300 million guns are just going to give up their rights and their say in their own governance and submit to the commands of people who eat kale by choice?” That’s a fair question, and they have an answer. 

Because you just are.

I didn’t say it was a good answer.
Recently I wrote a long column here describing the ugly realities of an actual Second Civil War – realities that are much uglier for the anti-freedom liberal side in terms of terrain, combat power, and morale. Naturally, this cry for sanity, which was only the latest in my long history of pleas to liberals to avoid the kind of civil strife I witnessed the consequences of overseas, was greeted by a torrent of outright lies. “You are advocating a civil war blah blah blah blah.” All liberal bull Schiff, including some by shameful collaborationist Fredocons who should know better, but not at all unexpected. The modern liberals’ rhetorical toolbox is filled exclusively with lies, which has the effect of making actual reasoned discussion impossible. Of course, that is their goal – they don’t want to defeat your argument. They want you bullied into silence. Tellingly, no one even bothered to try and counter the indisputable facts I offered many times showing why liberals will fail if they choose violence – instead, they tried to shut me up.

    The point I am making is that the left is in a hurry to get to this utopia on the hill....Like London where the honest people are disarmed, terrorized by the imports that come from another land, their opinions are stifled and they are jailed if their opinions deviate from official dogma.  This is the reality that will face America in 20 years or less, especially if the Left has their way and strip us of the 1st and 2nd amendment.  And once those are gone...y'all think the rest of the amendments will survive?  They will pick and choose which ones they will keep if it will advance the powers of the state.  Our first 10 amendments are already granted by our creator, basically we are born with them.  This concerns me because once we lose the bill of rights to the statist, we basically come the serfs and property of the state for them to use and abuse at will depending on the whims of the state and the state will be run by the leftist because they know what is best for us. and the overriding characteristic of the average leftist is the "busybody" that knows what is best.

    What I am afraid of is that the left being in such a hurry for this great utopia will finally push the "normal" to the breaking point

They want to silence you too, and every other patriot. But that’s a short-sighted tactic because people who are silenced, particularly uppity Americans who take their natural rights seriously, won’t just shrug and give up. They will stew and fume at the injustice of their oppression and then they will radicalize and then, because they have been wrongfully denied access to the means of participation in the governance of their own society, they will inevitably exercise their power in the only way left to them. They will rebel. They have before. Sometimes it’s peaceful – like by electing Donald Trump. But if peaceful doesn’t work, they are going to give not being peaceful a try. That’s just human nature.

 What I am trying to say, in their rush to push for this "bloodless civil war", we "normals" will not stand for it, we have been pushed and pushed to the breaking point,As long as we have a say in the voting process, it is a safety valve, but the left is trying to use the process against us, we have illegals voting and each illegal that votes, it cancels out the vote of a American.  We see the democratic party actively courting the interest of the illegals and ignoring the Americans.  I believe that they wish to replace us with people that are more docile and accepting of the notions that we belong to the state.  In other countries, people are taught that the state is always right and they rule over you.  Here in America we have a history of rebellion and independence that runs counter of the wish of those that would rule us.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON by Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

    One day the people that believe that by divine right which is divine by their ideology believe that they should rule us and bend our knees to their will will prove bad for them and the country.  Remember that map, most of the country is red, we own most of the guns and the military can't rule the entire country, it is impossible.  The left believe that we "normals" will just do as they say.  I have stated in the past that this is to break the middle class in America.  In most countries, there  are the very rich, they rule the land, and the poor, they work the land.  During the middle ages, the merchant and tradesman class started amassing power and provided a check in the desires of the nobility.  Here in America the middle class check the power of those that would rule us.  I hope I never have to participate in a "hot Civil War", but when push to shove happens, many will push back and the results will not be what the left wants.

      Yep it scares me also. The blue represents"democratic areas, the places that Hillary got most of the votes, the red showed where the "Donald" got the votes.

    Yes, the narrative is played out to twist public opinion. It is easier for them to publish crap out there because even if they print a retraction or a correction, not everyone gets the message and it is harder to change ones mind. It is easier to strike when the iron is hot or the emotions are inflamed.
