Steve King deletes Facebook post asking who would win new US civil war

“Folks keep talking about another civil war; one side has about 8 trillion bullets while the other side doesn’t know which bathroom to use,” the meme reads.​

If you look closely at the image, you're notice something ironic.

One side has all the money, education, communications infrastructure, and people, most of the air and seaports, a significant number of military bases, and the seat of the federal government.

The other side has Texas, Nashville, and Mardi Gras.

The purpose of that meme is to discount the possibility of civil war and somehow that becomes a reflection on the guy’s character?

That's now how I read the meme, nor is it, I suspect, how Kind read it, either.

I think the meaning of the meme is that in case of a civil war, one side would win because the other side is silly, and thus said other side should accede to the demands of the first side.

Insofar as the guy is a character, as opposed to having some, yes.

No, the purpose of the meme is to portray conservatives as wild west cowboys and ridicule/mock everyone else.

And, in the process, discount the possibility of civil war.

The meme itself is giggle-worthy.

As for a civil war, don't think it's going to happen, at least not like the old days. It's not the states split against each other, it's everyone split against each other sharing the same states.

That just means that you have a shorter commute to the enemy.

You don't know much about Nashville do you?

The point is to mock those blue states as being a bunch of weak homosexuals and portray conservatives as a bunch of well-armed tough guys. Yes, that reflects poorly on Steve King's character.
