The radicalization of the Democratic Party is transforming everything that happens in America into another battle in our unending culture war.
Is there anything left in American public life that isnt an occasion for political rancor and division? NFL games are now nothing more than crude pieces of political theater. On Sunday even Vice President Mike Pence got in on the act, showing up to a Colts-49ers game then leaving after a few players knelt during the national anthem. Next day was Columbus Day, which the cities of Los Angeles and Austin decided this year to replace with Indigenous Peoples Day, because Christopher Columbus is apparently the new Robert E. Lee. And its only Tuesday.
It should be obvious by now that our culture wars will henceforth be constant and unending; the next battle could be triggered by almost anything. Whether its the reactions (or non-reactions) of Hollywood celebrities to the unsurprising news of Harvey Weinsteins sexual misdeeds or the outraged calls for the repeal of the Second Amendment the instant news broke of the Las Vegas massacre, very little can happen in America now without it being an occasion for an appeal to ones own political tribe. No matter how tawdry or horrifying the news, there is vanishingly little room for solidarity because there is no appetite for it. Not even late-night comedy shows with their shrinking audiences can resist the urge to devolve into partisan political rants.
For all his eagerness to wage the culture wars in his improvised, bombastic style, this didnt begin with Donald Trump. It didnt begin with Barack Obama, either, but a recent study by Pew Research Center found that divisions between Republicans and Democrats on fundamental political values reached record levels during the Obama administration. .. {..snip..}

There will be no civil war between States or regular civilians.
All it take is a President willing to use the military to take out Congress with a MOAB, martial law for a year or two, any troublemakers get locked up or disappeared, illegal aliens, communists, and reporters at the top of the list.
Very simple solution to a complicated problem.
The US Government is dysfunctional and a parasite on the backs of regular normal hardworking American citizens.
Not salvageable via the political process, it is time to start from scratch.
It’s gonna be even worse thn that our side has guns & knows how to use them the other side is confused as to what toilet to use. when the shootin start for real a whole lot of folks are gonna be surprisd at the4 results.
only because the Russians gae them away to any group that expressede even the slightest interest in socialism as long with a boxcar of ammo for every case of rifles
In 1981, George Bush tried to murder Ronald Reagan. LBJ did murder JFK.
So the civil war has been going on for awhile.
Bush was in Dallas on November 22, 1963. For thirty years, he said HE DID NOT REMEMBER WHERE HE WAS that day. He was almost 40 years old. Talk to anyone who was five at that time, and he will tell you where he was that day.
“Nope. But do we have the anger to shoot our Progressive neighbor in the face? The War Between the States was not a civil war.
We stand in line at the grocery store with people who are the enemy of our American exceptionalism and personal freedom. We work with them. We say hi to them as we pump gas.
And they think that we are the enemy of global security, a safe climate, and financial security for all people.
A civil war is inevitable with these people (or they will enslave us), but I do not look forward to it or think it will be easy.”
We’ll spoken, these poor saps who underestimate the carnage are going to be frightfully surprised...
That DI was a very intelligent man.
Aimed fire ALWAYS beats massed fire.
America will be attacked long before the Civil War Comes.
The rights shopping habits, guns and optics, suggest that when the Left starts our next Civil War, we plan of winning. It would be prudent for them to back off from their totalitarian goals. Too bad socialists are not known for being prudent.
Hey Rosie, I thought was a priest, not a truther.
For LATER...
Bad time for me
To have a
Civil War right now.
Nope, I want to see each round hit.
