With one exception, the wars in which the United States has engaged since its inception involved our nation against one or more external adversaries. That exception, the American Civil War (1861-1865), still elicits an emotional response among our citizens due to the inherent tragedy connected to a nation at war with itself the whole "brother against brother" dynamic that is recalled whenever discussions of this conflict arise.
One less common aspect of our Civil War (as compared to other nations that have endured civil wars) is that America was geographically divided at the time by the Mason-Dixon line, which divided the Union and Confederate states. This more resembled traditional military conflicts with external adversaries, and has colored many Americans' idea of what a civil war is like. Unlike our Civil War, civil wars in most nations generally involve disparate or dissident factions fighting against each other and/or whatever regime is holding power.
I'm not going to say that what we've been experiencing over the last three months have been the first salvos of a civil war, but it sure looks like it. While hard-line socialists in the Democratic Party are working within the political infrastructure and behaving as though they are conducting the business of governance according to the rule of law and constitutionally established procedures, they are in fact in the process of fomenting civil war or at least, they have made it apparent that they are willing to go that far if they are not able to gain ascendency via political means.

LOLOL On that note, I’m taking five to grab a quick shower. I didn’t expect I’d have this much fun this evening!
She failed.
I swear it looks like some of the BLM already split.
You’re welcome.
:D
A speaker is trying but the Harleys are howling.
I really need to go get his stupid TORX socket, dammit.
OMG a black guy said he didn’t like that not-black people were speaking for him!!!
Hawaiian shirts in the crowd.
OMG now the black guy is arguing with the BLM that no black people are up there speaking for him.
Dang, no fistfights. I hope he’s building that thing in the garage and not the living room. LOL I gotta make my beer and Chinese food run. Got too wrapped up in this protest......
Wrong. It takes two sides fighting to have a civil war. I saw many posts made by members of our side of it is beneath our dignity to duke it out with them. They infer that it is much more dignified to let them slaughter us. If we allow them to do that, they will be more than happy to oblige. But some will fight and these will give a good account of themselves. NF Hale will fight. I may not be around by then, but go get them Dwag Brother.
WV will prove them wrong.
Hundreds to their dozens turned out...just in case.
Good to hear.
I am glad to hear it. Aaron Zellerman, of Jews for the Preservation and ownership of firearms. Said these people have to be fought body, to body, picket sign, to picket sign,and when necessary, body to body.
Thanks. I am glad to hear that
Ping.
Many of them.
There was Antifa there as well but they were on the other side of the springs, hanging around together near some cops.
I’m guessing they felt that it was not a good time to break stupid.
Tomorrow the Trump campaign bus will be there.
Some on FB are saying they should “go protest it”.
I swear, it’s like they can’t learn from their mistakes.
Serious looking dude. :)
I caught some of it on FB. Your homies did good!!
