Not true. The Democrats are running roughshod over the Constitution. From gun control schemes to stifling speech by force of law, the Left has been reliably unAmerican.

^^^^^^This. It is interesting that the Democrats want to get rid of the first two amendments which are obviously the most important.

Sure, because the fatherless black family that leftist policies created is way better!



Despite the small overall improvement of black SAT scores over the past 17 years, the gap between black and white scores has actually increased. In 1988 the average combined score for whites of 1036 was 189 points higher than the average score for blacks. In 2005 the gap between the average white score and the average black score had grown to 204 points.

Not only are African-American scores on the SAT far below the scores of whites and Asian Americans, but they also trail the scores of every other major ethnic group in the United States including students of Puerto Rican and Mexican backgrounds. In fact, American Indian and Alaska Native students on average score more than 104 points higher than the average score of black students. On average, Asian American students score 227 points, or 19 percent higher, higher than African Americans.

If you ignore history you're destined to repeat it. All this tough guy Trumper rooster crowing is just what the rebs thought.

Fact is, I'm a lefty and I have a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive and I can skin a buck and run a trotline...right there with ol bocephus and the rest of the reddest of 'em. And I'm not the only one.

Exactly. All the civil war talk is just posturing. The big scare is something happens, like what you've suggested or something else, that sparks the racial/social tension in our large cities across the country. There are many people that have nothing to lose that are just waiting for the time to rise up. Like we've already seen in the past.

The Rs are mistaken when they think the left isn’t armed and or trained for violence.
All the gangs, all the drug cartels, all the thugs, all the felons, all the anarchists, MS-13, Antifa, BLM, all the Dem politicians encouraging violence toward conservatives, New Black Panthers, the radical communists, all the Islamic terrorist supporters, are on the left.

This is why we will have a civil war.



It's so incredibly obvious the Dems are savaging the Constitution to further their cause, and yet, people genuinely and truthfully think it's the republicans who are doing it.

This country is full of people who look at the exact same situation and come to two totally opposite conclusions.


There is no middle ground, no compromising and it's getting worse

We now have a growing demographic that favors socialism over capitalism

We can't even agree on the simplest most basic ideas (like border security and illegal immigration) every single issue is highly contentious and politicized.

We have a media which has repeatedly been proven to lie and mislead people to push their own agenda and slant on an issue.

On top of it, most people now insulate themselves in echo Chambers and are fed news that aligns with their views by social media alogrhythems that want more clicks and traffic.

This country is going to continue to tear itself apart until people feel justified using violence.


We are at the point in a marriage where the 2 parties have reached the dreaded "irreconcilable differences" and from that point on there is no reconciling.

Exactly so, but many haven't caught on to that fact.
