This kind of stuff starts civil wars. You have both coasts in support of the Left. Then you have the Heartland that would support America. So it could get ugly really fast. We are already seeing civil disturbance in our biggest cities right now.

“This kind of stuff starts civil wars. You have both coasts in support of the Left. Then you have the Heartland that would support America. So it could get ugly really fast. We are already seeing civil disturbance in our biggest cities right now.”

I mean this in a respectful way: isn’t your post inherently contradictory?

On the one hand you say the nation is deeply divided regionally - the Left supporting urban and coastal regions vs. the America supporting rural heartland - and that this division portends civil war.

On the other hand, your examples of portentous civil unrest are taking place exclusively in the Left-supporting urban regions.

Could it be that this violence is not leading to civil war at all, but is rather a tragic but unilateral failure of the Left-supporting urban social model, while the America-supporting rural heartland region must sadly stand by and watch?

If I am right, as tragic as it is to see, perhaps we are witnessing federalism in action - “the great experiment” operating as the Framers intended. Namely, the states that choose well peacefully flourish and prosper, while the states that choose poorly self destruct.

Perhaps, the failed Democrat politicians who caused this mayhem will eventually be relegated to the “dustbin of history“ where they belong.

Just a thought.
