America Is Headed For A Civil War… Maybe
American Thinker ^ | 3 May, 2024 | Vince Coyner

The 19th-century Prussian general Karl Von Clausewitz famously said: “War is not an independent phenomenon, but the continuation of politics by different means.” Or as we more often hear it, “War is but politics by different means.” Some predict that America is on the verge of a hot war. But while it’s true that our country is more divided than ever, it may not be as divided as the pro-Hamas, anti-American protesters hope.

War is what generally happens when two (or more) sides get to a point where they can no longer peacefully coexist with the current circumstances. America seems to have reached that point...

How does one know a civil war is coming? Have you been on a college campus lately?

SNIP

In November 1968, Richard Nixon defeated Hubert Humphrey in the Electoral College 301-191. Add to that the 46 electors that George Wallace took, and the country voted 347 to 191 against the Democrats (57% vs 43% in the popular vote). This was at a time when most Democrats were strongly anti-communist, and being pro-American was considered normal, almost required.

Today, we have a completely different landscape. In 2024, Democrats are virtually indistinguishable from communists, and being pro-American is seen as racist.

Hence, the college protests. They’re not just pro-Hamas; they’re much, much more. These protests are very much a reflection of their time given the seemingly mainstream nature of the beliefs that power them. They’re at their core not just anti-Israel, they’re antisemitic, they’re anti-American, anti-Western, anti-capitalist, anti-police, and of course, anti-white.

Sadly, all those things are basically mainstream Democrat policies in 2024. We see every single one of them play out across the country in federal, state, and local governments. From stultifying climate change regulations to the housing of illegals to DEI...

Provided what I heard this morning...

almost half of those involved in the protests in NY WERE NOT STUDENTS

ONLY 4 were students at the Portland Library...

These interesting factoids of the events breaks wide open who is doing this and how truly dangerous these events are to the Nation.

They are trying to make this look like the run up to a Civil War. It is not that at all. These are enemy instigators and agitators. These are trained radicalizers and organizers.

Many months ago my nephew, a Marine, told me: You won’t be able to tell the white hats from the black hats, just do your best to stay out of the way.

The very thought of war--and especially war within the greatest nation the world has ever known--horrifies every benevolent, intelligent person.

War is brutality. It is the law of the jungle. It is one of the greatest evils ever devised by man or the devil.

Americans will find a way out of this mess, a peaceful way. We must, and we will.

I don’t want a war either. But, those who lust for power over others don’t care what you or I want.

The way out of this mess MUST be peaceful. We MUST find a peaceful way.

The violent, savage Communist animals would support your position 100%

There is ONLY ONE SOLUTION to not only defeat the communists but destroy them completely with extreme prejudice.

There are several what I call “1 bomb states”.

Texas is red despite Houston, Austin, DFW and San Antonio being deep, deep blue.

My guess is they are waiting for Trump in the next Admin. I do know the issue of leaving the Union through the clause in their Constitution has been battered about. My sources for this are talk shows and internet articles from news outlets. I don’t have specifics as I never wrote them down or committed to memory because I never thought things would get this bad.

I would think that *some* state governments would respond at the state level, yet within some states majority blue (driven by large metro areas such as LA/San Fran/ NYC/Chicago) the red areas would act, well ... red ... independently. Same for ‘blue’ cities in red states. It’ll come down to zipcodes and road ‘barriers’ like the 285 loop around Atlanta.

Cities/metros that at odds with the surrounding region will face loss of utilities and resupply by truck and train.

A good reference to drive conversation is this: https://diamondbacksol.com/bracken-when-the-music-stops-how-americas-cities-may-explode-in-violence/

Your opinions may vary of course.

Idaho stands ready. We have our share of proggy trash, but they won’t last long.

I think you are comparing this to conflict around the world like Ukraine.

Anything happening in today’s climate, on our soil, will be vastly different, because of our culture and lifestyle. Dont you think? I dont know..but yes bloodshed is a given. And the military is pro people not DC. If the Deep State lose the military its over.

If it happens. It will be cities against the country folks. The cities will starve. The country won’t. It will be quite a simple battle. Country folks just block the roads, the water, and the power lines.

“The urban communists would likely head out of the cities to Burn, Loot, Murder.”

Already tried that in the spring of 2020 and they were annihilated. But dress up in an antifa clownsuit, come on out of your rat holes, ya noodle-arm morons, and FAFO.

" America Is Headed For A Civil War…

The only thing the last one proved was that the side with the most guns could force its will on the other.

Love it or hate it, the Confederate Constitution had one clause in it (that's absent from the US Constitution) that would have prevented much of the crap we see happening today: term limits.
