This is, of course, a bad sign. It doesn’t mean that a hot war is coming soon. But it does mean that Americans will be descending more and more into tribalism.
And, long-term, that never ends well.
Pondering that, I’m not sure I agree. My tribe, western europeans that were not ‘to the manor born’, but yearned for freedom and opportunity, accomplished more in 180 years than all those that came before them. If my tribe is not weighed down by the parasites and leeches attracted by the ability to grift free stuff because of my better nature, we’ll do fine.
