That reminds me of a video I just saw. A bunch of these Antifa/BLM thugs had surrounded a truck that was just trying to drive down the street. He was slowly rolling and they were screaming at him and chanting.

One of the “peaceful protesters” reached inside the open window of the truck (why have your window open?) and jumped back a few feet. The guy yells “He’s got a gun!”. The whole crowd just parted and stood aside while he passed.

lol Some got itchy fingers want a fight and have NO idea the weaponry the opposing side might have. The problem would be if you insight a war the delinquent element of our society would call it - "FREE PURGE TIME"

If we aren't in one now, it's only a matter of time before the next Civil War.

Americans are too divided on race, class, ideology to realistically stay as one country IMHO...

Civil war again. (sigh) There is a difference twixt strife and war. A war requires two organized opposing sides. Clear objectives and a strategy for obtaining said objectives. Lines of battle, supply and communication.

None of which are even close to being a reality. As things are we might see lines drawn up along difference of opinion. Perhaps one side might feel they can force their opinions on the other. But not even on a national scale.

The leftists will no doubt go zerko if conservatives gain power in DC. If the leftists get it certain people in certain places might take that as a green light to purge opposition. But a real war? I dont believe so.

And either way it goes I also believe most folks are fed up with the looting arson and mayhem. ****s will be fired in anger. But not on a scale that equals a real war.

And it will be mainly confined to urban centers. We rural folks are quite ready and able to repel boarders. In my state I certainly wont be to awful upset if Vegas and Reno burn straight to the ground. No loss.

If San Freaksicko, Sactomato, LA, and such go the same route, we'll be throwing parties around here. Back East I doubt to many folks in the rural areas will cry to hard if NYC, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and such light up like a BBQ.

Meh, I suppose we'll see. I dont think all will be peace live and groovy starting next week. But I don't think a real war is going to happen either. I could be wrong. I'm hardly omniscient.

We will find out sooner than later.

Is the U.S. Already in a New Civil War?

America’s COVID-19 numbers aren’t under control. In many places they're getting worse. Large portions of the west coast are on fire, social media is fueling genocides, and political violence in the U.S. is increasing.

Save the drama for your ... .

Seriously, roughly 2% of the population lost their lives in the American Civil War. Taken as a percentage of today's population, that's roughly 6 million lives.

When the 116th Congress starts talking like the 36th Congress about averting military action ~ that's when I'll start taking the drama queens seriously.

Let's do a 'pinky bet'?

By the way, what do those pieces have to do with a Civil War?

No, but is the USA now a failed state under Trump? I don't know the answer. Who knew one person could destroy the United States of America so quickly. WOW! Vote and vote blue across the board for the sake of our country.
