Trump tweet, political divisions fuel rising discourse about new U.S. civil war

Sporting a Confederate flag shirt near a field clouded by cannon smoke, where blue- and gray-clad soldiers reenacted a Civil War battle from 155 years ago, Larry Caldwell Piercy, Jr. said he sees a new war looming in the United States - and a role for himself in any fighting.

“It would be all guerrilla warfare, not this open field-style kind of thing,” he said, gesturing at the reenactment of the 1864 Battle of Cedar Creek in Middletown, Virginia, earlier this month. “I would probably be an officer in that effort.”

Piercy, 62, is one of the motorcycle riders known as the “mechanized cavalry” of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, which has an estimated 30,000 members and describes itself as a “non-political heritage organization” that preserves the history and legacy of soldiers in the pro-slavery Confederacy in the 1861-1865 Civil War.

He is also a fierce supporter of President Donald Trump.

This is what we’re dealing with from Reuters and its ilk. Sure, Reuters, Cosplay dudes shooting off vintage cannons and talking civil war constitute the majority of the president’s supporters. You caught us.

Julia Harte? She must be like Robert Sheldon Harte, the communist who worked as one of Leon Trotsky’s assistants and bodyguards in Coyoacan, Mexico. Because she likes to use loose associations to libel others, she could be fairly treated similarly.

A woman was killed when a white nationalist plowed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters at a rally of right-wing extremists in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017.

In August, a suspected white nationalist shot dead 22 people at a Walmart store in El Paso, Texas, shortly after posting an anti-Hispanic manifesto online.

It would be nice if these so called "reporters/journalists" stopped labeling crazy, sick or MKUltra types as "white nationalist's"

They sound like a damned Parrot mocking someone.

Hide your daughters! Run for the hills. PDJT is a racis’!!!

Buahahahahahahaha.

How low stoops the MSM now.

A measure of how near defeat they are.

There is no civil war.

Yet.

There is a ballot box nect November.Any “civil war’ would be when the leftist radicals of the Dem party refuse to accept the results of the upcoming Presidential election.

Then all bets are off.

Its not the rat bastards who are causing the division, poking the tiger in the cage, giving everything we work for away fro free, telling us you must accept things we don’t want to, creating laws to protect those who continue to push their agendas on us all, its Trumps tweets.

When we fight back we are the ones responsible for this. We watch antifa violently attack us, destroy property attack law enforcement but the proud boys who were attacked and defended themselves get 4 years in prison. Any one of us fighting back are white supremacists. We know what’s going on

Notice that there is not a word about the left attacking Trump supporters; nothing on the kook who fired on the congressional softball game, wounding Scalise badly; zilch on the guy who attacked Ron Paul, badly injured him, and went to prison; zero ont he attacks on Trump supporters in Portland and elsewhere. Not the hint of “journalism” from Reuters, just political propaganda and constant lies.

Politicians and journalists are calling Trump “ literally Hitler” and his supporters “NeoNAZIs”. Californians threatened to seceed.

Loser Hillary publicly told the unelected Democrats in government to “Resist” and monkeywrench the Trump administration.

And it is President Trump who’s stoking a civil war? F Al Reuters!

Democrats are threatening to impeach Donald Trump AND VP Pence simply because “we can” and we aren’t supposed to call their actions a coup.

Berlin_Freeper, as a soccer/football fan you are well aware of the racism that raises its head at games in Europe. Why is it that many in Europe feel justified in characterizing the USA as a racist nation, while ignoring their own issues and not acknowledging the great progress we’ve made here?

Is this as common as it appears to be, or is it just the European media’s opinion?
