Civil wars are very expensive. More expensive than universal healthcare and a few necessary anyway abortions and such.
All though it shouldn't be "you republicans" it should be us. Us, Americans.

fyi, I do accept Biden is our president; and a dam fine one at that. He's already announced some of his plans going forward including a covid19 vaccine, nationwide mask mandates and getting back in bed with China.
Can you elaborate on your "Republicans are supposed to be patriots so why are you destroying America?" bit? Last I heard the $2B in damages the riots over the last few months were from the extreme left. Republicans and the right have been vocal but even google isn't showing any molotive cocktail tossers from the right. Can you enlighten me please? An ELI5 would be awesome here.
Many (not all, just many) republicans are more about not spending money on things we disagree with rather than just straight up saving money. It's a very subtle difference but a difference none the less. Here's ONE example of not spending money versus saving money.
I volunteer at a food bank with 20 other people; all part time. There are a total of 4 volunteer driven food banks plus one gov't ran food bank in my area. The volunteer driven food banks collect donations and distribute approx. $10,000/week worth of food. Each of these volunteer food banks has one part time paid person, electricity plus various other minor expenses. Total financial outlay for these food banks is about $250/week for each food bank to keep our doors open. We only spend money that is really necessary to keep going.
The one gov't ran food bank gives the needy about the same amount to the needy. Although they have half the staff each of them is a full time employee. The gov't ran one doesn't accept donated food but rather purchases the food. Their budget is just over $2M/year.
I'm curious though. Where did you get the idea that Republicans want a civil war? I sure as hell don't want one. None of my republican friends want one either. FFS we don't even have any firearms in our house. If a civil war broke out we'd be fucked.
