It does get harder for us all to wrap our heads around numbers when they get that high, doesn't it? Man, I wish we could all get millions...but then I guess it would become meaningless if we were all there? Boo

Interesting. I didn't know that the civil war was about globalism and mass immigration.

Your "free press" is your liberal propaganda organ. Nothing more.

There is nothing unconstitutional about the travel ban.

WHY is that?

Is it anything but typical RW hypocrisy?
How did the right "reject" that outcome, exactly? Did the Right move to investigate Obama as being in collusion with a foreign power? No? It seems like you are typically inventing your own reality.

Civli War never ended.

Republicans have undermined our democracy with their gerrymandering, voter roll purging, voter suppression... and now they've teamed up with a con man and the Kremlin.

Good grief.

Republicans are in CYA mode now, spinning crackpot conspiracy theories supplied by Fox News, Breitbart, InfoWars, and the National Enquirer.

For the love of sanity you really need to read more about the founding fathers, this country and its form of government. The problem with progressives is either they are lying about it, or they are oblivious due to the revisionism in the our education system.

Your entire argument is bullet point talking point.

I agree, and it seems like you might to, that we need to immediately remove all communist and socialist influence from our government and institutions. Anything less is Russian sympathy.

The U.S. was formed throwing off the British claim to be the "existing authority."

Civil War started over who was the "existing authority."

Resisting authority is in our DNA.
And it's also against the Smith Act when it gets violent. Every one of those AntiFa people could be charged with sedition at this point. Care to join them?

You're right a kind of cultural civil war is happening in America =the right views the left as the nations enemy.
And now that the repubs have all the power they need to run the country as they wish what do they focus on? definitely not "making America great again" as they havent a clue what that empty rhetorical phrase means so they run around in a confused state having no purpose or direction for the future so they do what they always do blame/hate Democrats/Obama/Clinton/Minorities/the poor.
Make America Grammatical Again.

This is the Kremlin's rekindling of the Cold War, being sold to the idiots in this country as a "civil" war.
How did this "cyber crime" bring down opponents and how was the Right involved?

And repeatedly complimenting Putin's "strong leadership" is not?
