You don't say....

A second civil war may very well be inevitable in the coming years if we keep this up.
The United States of America has not been united in some time. We have continued to separate ourselves by geography and political affiliation. New England is totally different from the Deep South. The West Coast has little in common with much of the Midwest. The city folk have different beliefs than those in the countryside. But we used to all get along just fine.
Things have changed.
Our common ground is eroding. People are yelling past each other and not understanding the commonality we all have as Americans. The rhetoric in the political arena has boiled over since the most recent presidential campaign to today. The war of words has become a physical altercation in many cases.
Daniel Lang’s SHTFplan.com article last month pointed to the Berkeley protest clashes in April as the most recent evidence of this political clash leading to a possible breakout of war. Trump supporters and protesters clashed for the third time in April. 21 were arrested and 11 injured in the most recent battle, with one person stabbed. These demonstrations in support of conservatism are turning more and more violent as the lovers of liberty on the Right are getting tired of restraining themselves and are fighting back in self defense. The increasingly militant Left is responding and increasing its level of force it brings to each one of these events.
What the hell is coming next?

Fine with me. How do we get underway?
duh
You don't say....
Democrats are Communist Dirtbags.
If you find that appealing, then join the other side.
Just ask Seth Rich and John Podesta.
Oops, you said to “yell that past you”, well then.
DEMOCRATS are COMMUNIST DIRTBAGS!!
Did you hear it that time?
I love these guys who suddenly see civil war looming. I saw it decades ago and began predicting it, to others, in conversation in 1995. I was calling it all going down in about 20 years. As political predictions go that’s calling it dead on.
As one who has studied the Civil War, that statement shows an utter lack of historical knowledge. The 24 hr news cycle has just amped up the volume which has now been pushed to distortion levels in a pathetic attempt by the MSM to hold market share and push an agenda.
We're done, I'll never see him again.
This time the south would win......
We now have the manufacturing, communications and supply routes....Our infrastructure is distributed as well as our populace.....
We are better armed and trained.....
The Starbuck swilling, tofu eating, gluten free, Northeast liberals would last two days.......
Never would I advocate a civil war, nor would the other freedom loving hard working Americans in the South. but if the NE liberals try to take over the government and subvert the Constitution.......Game on!
John Quincy Adams and John Calhoun “called it” about thirty five years ahead of time of the first civil war—neither wanted to see it happen, both wanted to figure out a compromise that could work, but both agreed there were major differences that could not be resolved.
Does the author think New England and the Deep South used to be in any way similar? Not in my lifetime. 50 years ago Boston was liberal and the South was seen as a backwater with slow thick accents northerners couldn’t understand. And they hated Yankees.
BUMP!
If one gets out of the cities, there are more similarities between the South and New England than the author would have you believe. The differences are more between the big city-big government crowd and those who want government the hell out of their lives.
This is a perfect example of bias. The right is "fighting back in self defense", making the demonstrations turn "more and more violent", but the left is "responding" by "increasing its level of force".
The left is not "responding", they are escalating. The order of presentation and the words use deliberately make it seem the right is the cause of the violence, because they refuse to be punching bags any more.
If the article did not mean to convey this impression, the writer needs to seriously consider relearning English.
It’s really up to our side. If we insist on LAW AND ORDER, the agitators will be jailed, the Illegals will be sent home, voting will be secure, and our side will remain the majority, while treating the non-violent opposition with respect.
If we try to compromise with the left, it will be civil war. Just here in Texas, considering the makeup of our highest levels of government here - if Hillary had won, we would have quickly reached a point of telling DC to shove it...and depending on Hillary’s reaction (send in the Guard, maybe the military), we would have been looking at combat.
Thankfully that didn’t happen...but we’re still not in the clear, not even close. And the biggest thing our side can do to prevent a civil war is to STICK TOGETHER, even if it means having the media mad at us and hurt feelings (are you listening Senator Cruz?).
Must be something in the water in that area. My friend of fifty-plus years lives next door in Arroyo Grande. We’re not at the ‘finished’ stage yet, but close.
With good reason.
