How bad is the tension getting out there on the streets these days in the midst of all of the unrest, protests and rioting? According to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports, more than one-third of likely voters in America believe that a second civil war is likely within in the next five years. As depressing as that may sound, its an uptick from people who felt that way in recent years. And unsurprisingly, there are marked differences in the crosstabs as to who is more likely to feel that away along both party affiliation and racial lines. Considering how the first one went, I kind of hope that nobody is really seeing this as a good thing, even if you feel it looks inevitable. (Rasmussen Reports)
With race-driven anti-police protests nationwide, one-in-three voters continue to believe America is on the brink of another civil war. Blacks are the least optimistic that the protests will lead to positive change but the most supportive of removing Confederate symbols from public display.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 34% of Likely U.S. Voters think the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, but that includes only nine percent (9%) who say its Very Likely. This compares to 31% and 11% respectively two years ago
As recently as last November, 73% of American Adults said Americans should be proud of the history of the United States. But 32% of Democrats share New York Governor Andrew Cuomos view that were not going to make America great again. It was never that great.
In something of a positive note, while more than a third think another civil war is likely, in the next five years, only 9% said it was very likely. Still, 25% said it was somewhat likely, which should be worrisome.
“Let em go”
The problem with the way you are looking at this map, is that all the major ports are in the blue areas. You don’t have a prosperous nation without that portage.
Well played!
at this point, I hope Trump has moved his younger children out of the country.
I used to work with a lot of recent veterans. Most where hard core anti Trump. One was posting inside rather zone in Seattle.
A great many veterans do not support Trump, or us. Same with many active . The split will not be as preferable as you think.
“Thats funny as hell. Cops in big, liberal cities have already retreated and headed back home to protect their own fat asses and their pensions.
As I said:
What about the 2.5 million defensive gun incidents where nobody is detained or arrested? Or doesn’t that register for you?
I am keeping yours handy myself!
