How serious do you think is this notion of civil war?
It caught me rather by extreme surprise.
The last time I listened to such a thought was back in the mid-seventies. An otherwise bright, wannabe radical student was prepared, he claimed, to go to the barricades. He didn't. And, the world went on about its business.
With all due respect, at the moment, the contest is between Congress and the President. Obviously, it is largely partisan politics at work, but the present and future stakes are constitutional. Once that's resolved, well, once upon a time our forefathers did claim a right to revolution.
There is this nasty thing about rights, though. They only exist when you can assert them, and then you must accept the consequences of a probable denial of that particular right.
I, for one, would do everything possible to deny that right.
It would be one where they disable the Republicans in the courts, and then turn their attentions to the suppression of folks like us, with force if necessary.
They only want power. None of them are patriotic. None of them can be trusted.
