There will not be a day where somebody stands up and says “we declare civil war”
It will just be a series of escalating events until we find we are in it.
It may have already started.
“It may have already started.”
Ditto what you wrote. No flag waving or bugle calls but a frog-in-hot-water scenario is taking place. It may be as simple as Dems and outside interests saying, “we’re in control and do as we say.” I dare say many Americans would even look up from the social media app to recognize what has happened.
“It will just be a series of escalating events until we find we are in it.”
There is a survivalist type guy on the internet called “Selco” - from Serbia(?). He talked about how it was a slow decline. But at the end if you crossed the street to try to find firewood (electricity was all out) you would get shot at.
He said for the longest time he (and others) just took the decay and violence in stride. “It will get better...”
Then one day there was a small riot and some people looting a store. The police showed up. The police entered the store, and came out with arm-loads of stuff, put them in the squad car and drove off. That’s when he knew it wouldn’t get better.
Hard to imagine that here, but the way the police are treated in the major cities, it could happen. Especially if inflation gets so high, supplies so low, etc. Keeping your children from starving will test the strongest morals.
If as you believe it may have already started, “It is to date a one sided affair, and right has yet to respond/engage.”
