Keith Olbermann Calls for ‘Economic Civil War’ To Repeal the Second Amendment

Keith Olbermann calls for economic civil war to ban guns in America

Keith Olbermann has called for an economic civil war against conservatives in order to abolish the Second Amendment.

The far-left journalist declared during a recent podcast that Democrat controlled blue states should financially ruin red states in order to destroy conservative support for gun ownership.

Infowars.com reports: Olbermann’s theory is based on the assertion that blue states “have all the money” and that red states are somehow destitute and reliant on the good graces of rich Democrats.  This idea often stems from a common progressive assumption that all conservatives are poverty stricken “rednecks” trapped in “flyover country.”  It just confirms what we have long known – Progressives live in a regional bubble and rarely venture out of the hive mind they rely on daily.    

It’s a bizarre notion considering Americans have been leaving major blue states by the millions over the past few years due to economic decline, high taxes and draconian covid mandates.  This mass migration has been well documented, so it’s odd that Olbermann is unaware of it.  It’s not just individuals, but also businesses that are fleeing leftist areas and moving to conservative havens. 

In 2021, there wasn’t enough U-Haul trucks to accommodate all the people trying to escape California.  What were the destinations movers were going to?  Florida and Texas topped the list.  The California state government was so desperate to stop people from leaving (and desperate to maintain tax revenues) that they tried to pass a law requiring that former residents continue to pay taxes to CA for up to 10 years.  How they plan to enforce such a law is unknown, but the legislation reveals a panic among Democrats which is palpable. 

The mass exodus was not limited to California, though, and included states like New York, Illinois and New Jersey.  In terms of raw data, blue states make up the vast majority of the most indebted places in the US, and a list of the 10 most fiscally stable states is majority red.

In general, the biggest problems red states have in terms of economic disparity or crime are caused by Democrat run cities within their borders.  Wherever progressives manage things, disaster follows.     

Olbermann’s call for an economic civil war is delusional and impractical, but it does reveal a certain level of anxiety that leftists have about gun owners.  Not in terms of gun violence – They don’t actually care about gun related deaths; they only care about how such tragedies can be exploited for political gain.  What they do care about, it seems, is the fact that shooting events are not giving them the social leverage they used to get. 

In the past, the corporate media could run with a single mass shooting for many months in an effort to create hysteria over gun ownership.  However, gun ownership is rising among some Democrat and moderate voters.  And, concerns are increasing over economic instability and exploding crime in the US.  What leftists are realizing is that they are never going to get the guns because the public is realizing how much they need tools for self defense.  The citizenry is beginning to understand that gun control is a means to punish law abiding people for the actions of a handful of criminals.

Not only that, but an armed populace is a hard to dominate populace.  The goal of every authoritarian regime has been to first disarm their political enemies so that they can’t fight back. Leftist intentions are clearly based on a desire for control that compels them to obsess over gun rights.  They are even openly talking about extreme measures, including civil war, as a vehicle for gun control.  This is a good sign, because it shows how close the anti-gun rights lobby is to defeat.

Protocols of Zion: Protocol II – Economic Wars ❝It is indispensable for our purpose that wars, so far as possible, should not result in territorial gains: war will thus be brought on to the economic ground, where the nations will not fail to perceive in the assistance we give the strength of our predominance, and this state of things will put both sides at the mercy of our international AGENTUR.❞ http : // www . renegadetribune . com/protocols-of-zion-protocol-ii-economic-wars/

  2. All planned ages ago and unrolled step by step. Paybacks a bitch. Psyops and political intrigues manipulations and OPERATIONS. All by rule of law.

  3. We are already in an economic civil war, numbnuts! Food plants are being purposely burnt to the ground. The laying mash is being contaminated causing hens not to lay. Trains are being derailed by plan to contaminate the soil so people can’t grow their own food.They upshured in a FAKE president so they could do all this unimpeded. So sit down and zip it. You know absolutely nothing. You can’t think straight because of your hatred for Trump. You are being used to further divide this country. You are an accessory to the crimes.

  4. What do those who are “within” govts. Do when they are allowed to Disarm the Citizenry – ANYTHING ‘they’ Want…

  5. Cannot think of one issue that Olbermann has blabbed about in which he was factual. Cannot remember a single opinion where he was correct. Makes one wonder how he still gets press?

  6. sorry, it is an inalienable right that can’t be voted away. We are not a democracy that can vote away our rights, we are a constitutional republic. we have a constitution.
