Turn on the fake "news", step outside you door take a look at what is happening all around you and just talk to 10 friends, neighbors and people on the street and you have the answer.

FYI, America has already been experiencing a cold civil war for at least a decade.

A popular topic these days, sadly.

The Spanish Civil War is a common model for the current process of radicalization of the “sides”, in a modern polity. Interesting if rather belated article.

I highly recommend Beevor’s “Battle For Spain”, as a superb case study of how these things can go. The communal hatred that is growing in the US does seem very “Spanish”, in that way.

One side promises you that if you join a ‘union’ and you don’t like it you can leave.

Then when you try to leave (like if they tell you you can’t own slaves anymore) they send people with guns to tell you that you can’t leave.

But it could be them forcing you to do anything- like buy health insurance.

I really believe we are headed for a second civil war. Ronald Reagan always predicted one would come, and I believe him. It will not be pretty from the start to the end. Shucks, we may come to live under the Chinese, the Indians, The Russians, the Iranians...who knows. One thing I do know for sure, individual freedom and liberty will die...forever!!!

"...Civil War / Civil War II..."

---

It would be horrific and horrible if it ever happened because the different sides are mixed among the population.
Just the nightmare scenario of prescription drugs not being properly delivered would kill millions alone.
We simply cannot devolve into a civil war. We absolutely need to analyze all aspects of immigration once the wall is completed.

Have been at war ever since they required me to buy health insurance I did not want. And they have not seen a personal income tax return from me since. Wake me when the shooting starts.

How do civil wars happen?

Like these quotes from "The Russian Revolution" by Alan Moorehead 1958. And like what's happening here now.

"… this was a predatory state which the Czar and a small group of noblemen and bureaucrats ruled for their own exclusive benefit...The ruling group owned all the wealth, enjoyed all the privileges and monopolized all the political power, and it did not intend to give up any of its prerogatives. It considered the peasants to be little better than animals..."

Is there a link to this op-ed or is this self-authored?

[Ransomed]

Has there ever been a civil war when the poorest people are the most likely to be obese, and are the most entertained poor people ever? It’s hard for me to imagine.

How do civil wars happen?

One side in a divided country decides it can't stand the other side to the point of homicidal rage. That rage may be justified or unjustified, but regardless blood is spilt until one side surrenders, one side is destroyed, or the country is destroyed.

[metmom]

One side decides to ignore the rule of law and the Constitution, and engage in vote fraud, and the other side won’t take it any more and voila, civil war.

Good read.

The “Imprimis” publication from Hillsdale College two months ago had an interesting article on civil war — cold and hot. We’re cold, but could be hot be soon.
