If youd have asked me even six months ago what the chances of the United States being on the verge of a civil war I would have said probably under 1%. Today I think that number is much closer to 25% and maybe even higher.
Why is that? Simple. Democrats, media and academia
I grew up on the Navy base on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It was a small base but there were a million things to do. Horseback riding, year round sports, a bowling alley, four pools that I can remember, game rooms, gyms, motocross, hiking, scuba diving, surfing, half a dozen outdoor movie theaters it almost never rained! - karate tournaments and spectacular parades and midways for 4th of July. Cable TV hadnt reached us and of course the Internet hadnt been invented, so we spent our time actually doing things
I loved virtually every minute of it, but despite being in something close to nirvana, there were people who hated it and were miserable. We find what we're looking for.
We often get out of life what we are expecting... are you a glass half full or a glass half empty person? This question explains why America is at the brink of civil war.
We look around and see people burning down our cities, destroying public and private property, disrupting life for millions of Americans who are simply trying to go to work, eat their lunch or shop at a mall. We see people chanting F the Police, No justice, No Peace holding up Black Lives Matter signs and calling everyone and anyone who doesnt agree with them racists. We see in New York, LA and countless other cities thugs shooting cops, beating civilians and feeling entitled to do so the whole time.
How did we get here? Very simple. Weve had decades of the Democrat / Media / Academia Industrial Complex telling Americans that the country is racist. That Republicans dont care about the poor. That Christians are homophobic. That whites have privilege. That America is rife with systematic racism. That cops hunt down and kill unarmed innocent black males with impunity. And of course that if you are a person of color you have no control over your life and the system will not allow you to succeed, regardless of the hard work you put in, the education you achieve or the virtuous life you lead. In essence, they have been proffering the notion that not only is the glass half empty... but that the other guy took your glass and poured half your water into his glass and then poisoned what's left in yours.
It is upon this decades long backdrop of despicable lies that the same group, along with the Obama holdovers in DOJ, has spent the last four years telling us that Donald Trump is a racist bigot. That Donald Trump was bought and paid for by Russia. That Donald Trump is guilty of abuse of power with respect to Ukraine. That Donald Trump is a power hungry fascist who seeks to make himself king by stealing the election and disenfranchising minority voters.
Of course, none of those things are true. None of them. But that has not stopped the media, academia and the Democrats from shilling each of them, repeatedly. And the result is, you have young people mostly young, but not all by any stretch who today see exactly what they have been told to see, exactly what they expect to see. If you are told that you cant succeed regardless of the life you lead, regardless of the hard work you do, then its not unexpected that you would want to tear down the system that has boxed you in.
The fact that all the bile that the Democrats have been spewing for decades is not true is of no consequence. The fact that the media blatantly paints a picture that is demonstrably false 24 hours a day, seven days a week is of no consequence. The fact that leftist hack academics have rewritten American history through the perspective of their 21st century woke lenses, is of no consequence. The only thing that is of consequence is power
Democrat power. Nothing else matters. As such, if burning down cities is the cost of power, so be it. If putting targets on the backs of police is the cost of power, so be it. If undermining the basic elements of common courtesy, politeness and civic order are the cost of power, so be it. If destroying the life's work of shopkeepers and the jobs of workers trying to provide for their families are the cost of power, so be it.

Mostly because of bloggers excerpting their own material.
B.H.O. and H.R.C.
why? because we cannot coexist with marxists and their insurgency.
The simple answer is that there are at least two sides. These two sides disagree on how society should be ruled. Neither side is willing to accept the rule of the other.
It is “force”, one idealogy against another.
Because the De.ocrat Party will.accept nothing less than total control. One Prty Rule is its goal. They openly admire Red China.
We can't do anything about the Democrats who ordered it. But I'll bet there is something we can do about the Republicans who enabled it...
If the blog haters would just let us excerpt and make clicking on the links mandatory, we won’t have to wear masks anymore.
Why is America on the Brink of Civil War?

Sic em boy! LOL!

We’ve been in a Civil War since the final year of the Obamanation when the Dallas Police assassinations took place and the Deep State Media took the mask off.
It’s just expanding and getting hotter - FAST.
Exactly correct.
The elite in this country have depended on control of the narrative, and through that, control of politicians, for decades.
President Trump is the result of the loss of their ability to control the flow of information in the United States.
No elite in power gives up power easily.
The elite in power in the United States; consisting of the Media, the Democrats, Progressive Republicans and the Deep state, are doing everything they can to keep power. They are getting desperate.
A civil war denotes a conflict between competing political ideologies.
Monarchy versus Democracy
Communism versus Monarchy
Etc....
What we have in this country is a good old fashioned fight between the criminal Democrats and the law and order Republicans.
The Democrat political leaders make their fortunes by looting the public treasuries.
Every couple of years, the Democrat politicians start advertising that they are actually Angels and just want to help poor folks out. They win if they can convince enough suckers to vote for them.
Its not a civil war.
Its a fight by criminal Democrats to continue their thievery with no legal repercussions.
You made me laugh.
But, to be fair, that is a very long excerpt. The only thing he left out was these three paragraphs:
What you are seeing in the streets is not protest, peaceful or otherwise. What America is experiencing is the beginning of a civil war, only one side has not yet awoken to the fact that it is involved in one. Civil wars dont have to last long nor be bloody, but they can be, and this one might be. But it doesnt have to be. Stopping it will take no only a firm response by police and the government, but more importantly in the long run, it means expunging from academia the anti-American fascists who have been rewriting American history as a march through hate and oppression and racism. It means discrediting and marginalizing the manipulative media cabal that proffers the blame America first or America is racist fictions as they seek to drive up temperatures. Finally it will take a party, whether its the GOP or some new entity, that finally stands up for the United States and embraces its history, both good and bad. They must be willing to recognize that America is indeed an imperfect place, as it has been since its founding, but that it gets better decade after decade and has done more to advance the condition of mankind than any nation in human history. They must know and be willing to say that the United States is the greatest nation in the history of human civilization and that there is more freedom here, more opportunities here and more prosperity here than anywhere on the planet. That with hard work one can make a better life for himself, for his family and his community.
Imagine what a country could do if those were the ideas that young people were being exposed to every day. Imagine if they expected to succeed if they expected to be treated fairly if they had gratitude for our freedoms and what others sacrificed to give it to them. Imagine they understood they are living in a time and place most people in history would have traded their souls for and millions of people risk their lives for every year.
Tell young people their lives arent theirs, they cant succeed and racism is everywhere, and they will believe it find it around every corner. Tell them racism and other evils exist, but they live in the land of opportunity and their success is in their hands, and they will succeed despite the roadblocks. Couple that half full on steroids mindset with Americas bounty and the opportunities are infinite.
Wouldnt be much of a war - really, the Marines against the college professors? Not hard to guess how that will turn out,
The author is close, but misses the most important point. The real answer is...
COMMUNISM, Democrats, media and academiaThey are following the script and playbook laid out by international Communism 100 years ago.
There isnt going to be any civil war. The Left absolutely cannot take this country by force. America has to be given away.
I'm going to quibble with this:
Our side says: Leave me alone. If you leave me alone, I will leave you alone.
Their side says: No. I will rule over you. I must control all aspects of your life.
There are two sides, but only one is demanding to rule over the other.
If you tell a lie loud enough and often enough, people BELIEVE it. There never was a nation called Palestine. The Romans renamed Israel that (a corruption of Philistine) as a slam. But that didn’t stop Arafat (an Egyptian) from “creating” one. Today, many if not most believe in a two staye solution for some displaced Jordanians WHO NEVER OWNED THAT LAND. Endless wars because of the lie.
Did we learn anything?
No.
We continue to let lies proliferate and grow until they become FACTS in people’s minds.
It is what it is.
