“Detroit? Baltimore? Chicago?? “Cities destroyed and thousands dead” ARE happening in slow motion in what is an ideological war, but it just has no front lines. And it may never have a front line as in the first Civil War.”
Gang violence =/= civil war, nor is a degraded neighborhood = a destroyed city.
It helps to keep things in preservative. People go to sporting events in downtown Detroit on any given day. Hardly an example of a even a slow motion war.
When you have people going about their mundane lives in these same towns, and business is normal, it makes a lot of the alarmist talk sound kooky.
like I said, these little street fights in a couple of college towns are being overblown into something they are not.
Not saying the nation doesn’t have some deep divides, just that we have always had them, and they were far more pronounced at other points in history.
Bingo
Nope.
A civil war, like the last one, was based on geographical lines and very segmented cultures. You were from the south, or you were from the north.
Those do not exist. Someone from MA is not going to go to Texas to “join the cause.” Sure, you will get your “Davey Crocketts” but you will not get masses of people.
Finally, snowflakes do not have the heart for the fight (as a cohort—I am well aware of the small percent that have gone to war over and over.) Think about the first day of Antietam: Could the US even begin to conceive of that many war deaths in a single day?
Once it started to “hurt”, they would quit.
And folks our age would get tired.
You don’t think in the last 8 years we have lost our jobs, mortgages, cars, RVs, toys, etc??? Um,,, because we HAVE. Just not enough to reach critical mass, but we are getting there....
Obviously vetting would be needed... but the libs that flee to Oregon, Colorado, Arizona etc & try to replicate the destruction of California elsewhere should be sent back if California got booted.
Trump’s presidency is already lost man, face it, no wall will be built, sanctuary cities will be unfazed, nothings going to change under him, nothing.
Sanctuary cities will be fazed when a few vigilanties get revenge on the mayors etc for a dead or raped relative.
People in power “care” more about the people they hurt, when the people they hurt demonstrate an ability to hurt them back.
You’re dreaming, will never happen, sorry, the havoc done by illegals is immeasurable and nothings been done, nothing will be done, it’s the way of weakness
The Founding Fathers fought back under much less. We should be ashamed, calling ourselves "patriots". May our chains rest lightly.
That’s only because someone like me hasn’t lost a family member due to their policies. When that happens and such a person loses a family member (as opposed to a mangina or cuck losing a family member), then its going to be a real shock to those who think they have power.
I have a totally different opinion. The republican goop in congress is trying to hold on to the global paycheck and keep the demonicRats form blackmailing them.
Yeah.....man caused drought

I beg to differ.
bump
Isn't that what Democrats and other liberals want?
Pure insanity thinking California has a chance to “exit” the union. This talk is worthless. South Carolina secession was based on very legitimate grievances. California is run by a bunch of leftist imbeciles who think Brexit was cool but have no understanding of it. If anything break the state up.
Preservative or perspective?

Perspective. :-\
