Sounds like a great idea!
To: Jack Black
There is no CWII in our future. We are much too well managed for that to ever be allowed to happen.

At the gas station today, a woman came up and asked if I would put air in her tire. I asked if she supported Trump. She said “no”. I said that’ll be $10. She was like “what?” Told her I was sick of the democrats crap. She walked off to ask someone else.

“Our Civil War really was remarkably civil compared to most.
The next one wont be.”
That’s a fact.

Creating internal divides in the country stirs up resentment toward elites, and that threatens their power.
Maybe, but if a group wants to infiltrate and take over a country with their ideology (from within), they first have to get a base of support.
The USA always had differing opinions on how to run things, but were generally united on a certain worldview and value system. You want to get something like socialism to take hold in the USA? You have to create an aggrieved base that develops a hatred for all things traditionally American, and then build that base, and present socialism as the opposite of what they hate.
Unfortunately, the demographic makeup of the USA, and the inherent racial problems, provided a ready-made aggrieved base with which the socialists could work, and also provided a moral basis for the replacement ideology, i.e. Capitalism is racist! Then you can pull millions into your oppressive, demonstrably evil ideology by convincing them that socialism is actually the more moral system, and that it is the cure for all of the ills of the capitalist society.
In the meantime, there is a ruling elite who favor the old system. This old elite has to be replaced, too. But, once you've established that the old American ways equal racism (and for good measure, create new sins, such as "sexism", "homophobia" and "transphobia") it is then an easy thing to pound the old guard into submission or oust them entirely simply by stating that there old (traditionally American) ideology is racist, sexist, etc. and no decent person would follow them.
That is where we are now - the new elite replacing the old. When that is complete, and any real support for our old value system is gone, THEN the new elite will benefit from external enemies to unite everyone under the new banner. But not before.

They hold the majority of activists now. Trump will not be allowed to win, perhaps not allowed to run. This will be accomplished by any means necessary.
Oops, no more Trump fighting for America. That leaves no one.
Well, maybe childs cartoons will be wielded by the play patriots.

It will destroy most of us, our children, grand kids and those not even conceived yet, unless it is over in a week or less. Destruction of our communication systems, roads, railroads and shipment of food and other things we need daily will make us worse than any third world $hithole country in weeks.
I have tried to tell people that for YEARS.

At this point, I truly don’t have a problem with that. In fact, I would welcome it.

That will happen anyway if not worse when the Democrats get control again

The corrupt, totalitarian, Marxist, HORROR, that calls itself Democrat party, in a sane country, would be sent to scrap heap of history, and not receive a single solitary vote in the next election. But, sadly, we are not in a sane country.
The author makes a chilling case for how we are being herded into CWII by our billionaire elites.
A MUST-READ.
In fact, if you never read anything else on FR -read this article.
While I agree that we are close to the edge, there might be a way around it? If people can somehow, wake up to the fact that we our being played by the elites , as the author explains. Maybe then we can direct our anger toward those who deserve it, instead of one another?
And if people can somehow be taught our Constitution, shown its value to each person, maybe we can demand better from our politicians? (And immediately recall or vote out any with corrupt or tyrannical tendencies.)
Then again this would assume we still have Freedom of Speech, Freedom of the Press, and Freedom to Assemble. (That is debatable at this point.)
But if we and our useless politicians (Except POTUS and a few others who are trying), really challenged these people on their oppressive ,nightmare ideas, hopefully, many people would turn away from them if they understood what the demrats intend to inflict on citizens.
Pray for us that we wake up.

There were a few stories of this, particulary near the Mason Dixon line where soldiers truly were neighbors with opposing forces.
But another point to consider is that during the Civil War, neither side _wanted_ a war. It was truly the last thing anyone was looking for, and the last thing anyone wanted to participate in. Regardless of what of our movies showed us.
There were families to raise, farms to tend and each soldier left behind people who needed them to be alive and effective.
In our next war, we will see two factions who WANT war, will have the ability to care for those left behind (Through tech and supply chain improvements) and will have a lesser problem going to battle with the next town over.
Newark NJ would go to war with Bayonne NJ today, much less an orange county New Yorker supporting the carpet bombing of a west virginia coal town.
