Those who warn most of some mythical civil war are those most likely to incite one.
As Joe Biden’s polls stagnate and the midterms approach, we are now serially treated to yet another progressive melodrama about the dangers of a supposed impending radical right-wing violent takeover.
This time the alleged threat is a Neanderthal desire for a “civil war.”
The FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Florida home, the dubious rationale for such a historic swoop, and the popular pushback at the FBI and Department of Justice from roughly half the country have further fueled these giddy “civil war” conjectures.
Recently “presidential historian” Michael Beschloss speculated about the parameters of such an envisioned civil war.
Beschloss is an ironic source. Just days earlier, he had tweeted references to the executions of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who passed U.S. nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union in the 1950s, in connection with the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
That was a lunatic insinuation that Trump might justly suffer the same lethal fate due to supposedly mishandling of “nuclear secrets.” Unhinged former CIA Director Michael Hayden picked up on Beschloss death-penalty prompt, adding that it “sounds about right.”
Hayden had gained recent notoriety for comparing Trump’s continuance of the Obama Administration’s border detention facilities to Hitler’s death camps. And he had assured the public that Hunter Biden’s lost and incriminating laptop was likely “Russian disinformation”.
So, like the earlier “Russian collusion” hoax, and the January 6 “insurrection,” the supposed right-wing inspired civil war is the latest shrill warning from the Left about how “democracy dies in darkness” and the impending end of progressive control of Congress in a few months.
On cue, Hollywood now joins the civil war bandwagon. It has issued a few bad, grade-C movies. They focus on deranged white “insurrectionists”

ANTIFA and BLM seemed like they were pushing for a civil war.
VDH ping.
The only civil war will come at the polls, where the Rsts will be voted out!
The problem becomes if their enemies understand this desire, then the civil war will no longer be "limited." It's objectives change to take out the Deep State. Anything less, and the Deep State wins--no matter what the outcome of the actual war is.
Those who make peaceful change impossible are the one precipitating civil war. That would be the criminal democrat party.
Everyone foolishly skips over the secession part which could and probably will go peacefully.
Let’s talk secession like adults BEFORE we sling lead like children....
They’re all pushing for civil war. They want one badly, and envision it as one Picket’s Charge, lots of dead deplorables, and martial law forevermore.
As Joe Biden’s polls stagnate and the midterms approach, we are now serially treated to yet another progressive melodrama about the dangers of a supposed impending radical right-wing violent takeover.
Melodrama. A "progressive melodrama". Such an excellent way with words, from the splendid Victor Davis Hanson. Worth a clock to read the full article.

It looks like New York City is the star.
Methinks that coffee will help ... but I have been up since 3:30. Sigh.
Where’s the mushroom cloud and all the F14s swooping down to strafe the ranks of deplorables standing in formation on an open field? Why would they go and do something stupid like stand there as if it’s 1862? Urban guerilla warfare is what it’s all about these days.
I look for antifa and blm to instigate false flag events in an attempt to drag the country into civil war.
Unlike those that followed antifa and blm into the capital, I hope folks aren’t foolish enough to fall for it.
Why is it so hard for people to grasp that CWII is ongoing?? The nature of war just changed from large armed forces to information warfare and lawfare.
Is that so hard to understand??
The USAF has 2500 war fighting aircraft, that is less than one aircraft per US county in the USA. LOL.
I do not think the right will ever get power back . The voting system has been compromised and even the Supremes refused to hear the case from Texas et al to challenge the corruption . The coming red wave will be at best a coming wave of republicans bending over in the proper position to submit to their progressive overlords . Did anyone notice how Portman and many other rinos joined the dems for gun control , billions for Ukraine , and green energy balderdash ? I would rather be positive but reality keeps intruding on my psyche . As for civil war from what I can see the sheeples will be lined up to get their free cheese and bug burgers and much too busy with sportzball to engage the enemy , heh . Any with a presence of bravery and love of liberty will be quickly imprisoned just like the J6 folks while America watches The View .
