Were already in a civil war. Its currently a cold one, but make no mistake, we are deep in it. Until 2016, our side lost virtually every battle in the media, academics, and courts. However, we won a decisive battle with Trumps victory. Is this the start of a turn in war or a blip not offsetting the progressive road to ultimate victory? I cant say that I know just yet. If the Dems take back the government in November, conservatives and our views continue to be banished from social media and the public square, and the courts continue to take away our rights, im Not sure that 2016 wasnt just a slight deviation from the inevitable showdown with the totalitarian left.
We are not sheep. IT AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN THAT WAY!
A “cold” civil war, you say? Congressman Sinise begs to differ.
The first Civil War gives clue how this might play out—a series of provocations (intentional or unintentional) would inflame both sides—think Bleeding Kansas, the Dred Scott decision, the John Brown raid, etc.
John Adams and John Calhoun had a civil discussion about the possibility of civil war as early as the 1820s, but it took until the 1850s to make it happen.
I don’t think any comparable “incident” has happened yet—so we are probably looking at another ten years of peace.
Then—watch out!
