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.

That was just a few of them.
Many more lined the sidewalks across from the park.
Berkeley Springs neither burned or was looted.
BLM went home early.
Antifa cowered near a group of cops on the other side of a blocked off bridge.
Do not eff with the ‘billies and bikers.
When we pulled in the lot, Hrafn was looking out the back window, going berserker about something.
I thought “Oh great, he’s in a mood and might not be safe to take out of the car”.
But when I got out, then I could hear a crowd of libs screaming crap from the other side of the street.
The boy was all smiles and wags for the people lined up at the Trump Store bus.
Now...tell me *how* a mere dog knows that libs are evil beings in desperate need of a good biting.
Gonna go out on a limb and say my dog IS a Republican because he can recognize the enemy.
Dogs are good people.
Indeed they are.
I always feel very sorry for the dogs owned by liberals.
Oddly, there are very few liberal Dobe owners.
/thank God
These BLM creeps are just communists/marxists trying to stir the pot...if they cared about black lives; they would be in Chicago or at their local Planned Parenthood office. There were several of these rallies in SW Virginia/East TN a few weeks back...wondered there they had disappeared to...why have thy targeted Appalachia...local media is STILL pimping BLM.
“why have thy targeted Appalachia”
Subconsciously trying to commit suicide?
I’m 5’ 4” but my dad said I was built like a Tree frog...all legs and no body.
Normally, he only goes berserker if someone gets near the car and not to that extreme.
Freaked me out a bit and as I mentioned, I worried about even letting him out of the car.
They were a good 75 feet away or more.
He hated something about them.
Not sure he could’ve “smelled” them with windows rolled up and the AC on full blast to keep him cool.
Must have been some seriously “loud” wicked, vicious vibes or whatever.
This dog is an enigma.
“ The police, that they want to destroy, is the only thing keeping them alive, literally.“

As one meme I saw indicated, the anti-police rioters better hope that they fail, because the rest of the population doesn’t have any rubber bullets.
Texas will be ok without them. 7th largest economy on the planet, oil and gas galore, 30 million people with millions of vets, 50 million guns, cattle and farming to feed ourselves and even export, etc.
But when Trumpers have a rally....
