YOU HAVE TO BE STUPID & UNINFORMED TO SUPPORT THIS! excerpt: "I believe wholeheartedly Donald Trump and Butler County's JD Vance are the last chance to save our country, politically," state Sen. George Lang (R-4) said at a rally for Vance, the first-term U.S. senator from Ohio whom Trump selected as his running mate last week. "I'm afraid if we lose this one, it's going to take a civil war to save the country, and it will be saved." Lang apologized on social media soon after he made his comments at the rally in Middletown, Ohio, saying they were "divisive" and calling for all politicians to "be mindful" of what they say at political events ahead of the election. But Lang's comments came after numerous polls have shown sizable portions of Americans, particularly Republican voters, sympathizing with the state lawmaker's message. In May, the Marist National Poll found that 47% of Americans believed a civil war in the U.S. would occur in their lifetime, including 53% of Republican voters. *****MUST READ!***** New EPA Funding Boosts Clean Energy Projects Across US "With this huge new injection of federal funding, leading states will turn their innovative plans into bold action," said one advocate.
