Representative Steve King is such a jokester.
Rep. Steve King of Iowa posted a meme on Saturday to an official Facebook account that seemed to revel in the idea of people in more conservative states killing those in more liberal states in an armed conflict.
“Folks keep talking about another civil war,” the meme said. “One side has about 8 trillion bullets, while the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use.”
King captioned the image with a smirking emoji. “Wonder who would win….” he wrote.
Hurr hurr. So funny. The last civil war was hilarious too – killed 620,000 people.
He deleted it but of course there are screenshots.

King, a notably racist member of Congress, has in the past openly voiced support for white supremacist ideas. An incomplete list of things he has said and done includes calling white people the “subgroup of people” who have contributed the most to the world; tweeting that “we can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies;” blaming immigrants for ISIS and Ebola; displaying the Confederate flag, despite his state, Iowa, not having been a part of the Confederacy; blaming abortion for killing “millions” of white babies; and complaining that for every child of undocumented immigrants “who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.”
How we live now.

Most human beings only have two hands… GL carrying around 8 trillion bullets. Air strikes and missiles would be a lot more relevant.
BNiSA-
Yes. It would all come down to who the Military sides with.
Cazz, remember the English Civil War…well, at least the one that got us the British Army but the Royal Navy.
The salaciousness of wanting to murder other people.
Of course, he is totally ignoring the portion of the left that is armed and NRA loyal…
For some reason, people keep assuming all the ammunition is on the one side, because they believe the stupid pundits who find it easier to put everything into A and B, with A being the polar opposite of B.
In short, the bloodiness of such an idea might be even more than King imagines, because at least some of the left (possibly a large portion of them) could shoot back.
We should revise the Constitution to make it where someone advocating killing everyone who disagrees with them, even in jest, automatically loses their elected or appointed government position and is banned from any such positions for life.
Note which “side” King’s home state is on in that cartoon image.
It’s gone from shoot someone on fifth avenue to all the blue states.
King has a deluded electoral view of reality. There are cancers and cures in each of the caricature: red in blue and blue in red. No one needs a gun to kill someone in their sleep. We should ban all the pillows!
