Welp, the Trump-loathing crew of MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Monday trotted out perhaps its most dire warning yet of what will happen to America should Donald Trump win the 2024 presidential election.

Civil war. Yeah.

Simpish co-host Joe Scarborough kicked off the festivities by sharing his TDS-riddled thoughts about Trump's triumphant speech at his Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of the July 13 assassination attempt against the former president.

Unsurprisingly, Scarborough's bilge was both condescending and demeaning to Trump supporters, as well as to the former president himself (emphasis, mine).

I saw part of Donald Trump's speech this weekend. It was remarkable, the lies. Not, not, not just on things, but on policy, he'd just make up things, and just throw it out there. And I, I, I was shocked that the audience was really that stupid, to believe the crazy lies that he was throwing out there.

Memo to Scarborough: I've seen enough clips of your lie-filled show to last a lifetime or two, and one can only imagine the mental capacity of your audience, so please.

John Heilemann, national affairs analyst for NBC News and MSNBC, not only eagerly agreed; he also kicked up the fear factor.

It is, I think, obvious where the Republican ticket now, what they imagine happening, and what they are preparing for in the wake of a possibility that they lose this election on November 5th. And I, I, I, I'm not a very fearful person. I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm nervous about, very nervous about what that will look like.

Incredulously, catastrophizer extraordinaire Scarborough replied: 

I, I, I am not a catastrophizer. I obviously, like everybody, concerned about where this country's going. This is something to be so concerned about.

Next up, sniveling British "journalist" and broadcaster Katty Kay trotted out the left's "threat to democracy" narrative if Trump wins.

I keep thinking back to that book, "How Democracies Die" by Ziblatt and Novitsky. And they talk about the two things that are needed for democracies to die in countries that have been democratic.

 And one is the demonization of the other, of any other group, or kind of a minority group, and the normalization of the rhetoric of violence. 

Stop the tape.

As Florida Sen. Rick Scott (R) posted on X on July 13, the day of the first assassination attempt against Trump:

Democrats and liberals in the media have called Trump a fascist. They’ve compared him to Hitler. They’ve tried to lock him up. They tried to remove his Secret Service protection. Just this week, Joe Biden said he wanted to put Trump in the crosshairs.This isn’t some unfortunate incident. This was an assassination attempt by a madman inspired by the rhetoric of the radical left.

And of course, we can add "white supremacist," "racist," "homophobic," "transphobic," and a host of other demonizing terms to the left's list of ad hominem attacks against Trump.

Kay's second thing needed for democracies to die was the Democrats' favorite trope of all:

And in a country with so many guns it doesn't take very much. People, perhaps not a huge leap of imagination, to imagine communities that, were Donald Trump were to lose, would see this as a, as a reason, as a giving them permission, if you like, to take out some kind of vengeance on people who didn't vote for him and didn't support him.

Nonsense, but fearmongering about "gun violence" by the left translates to further restricting or banning the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners.
