“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.
Preservative or perspective?
