31% Think U.S. Civil War Likely SOon
Rasmussen Reports ^ | June 27, 2018

Posted on 06/27/2018 8:13:27 AM PDT by SMGFan

Most voters fear that political violence is coming from opponents of the president’s policies, just as they did in the second year of Barack Obama’s presidency, and nearly one-in-three think a civil war is next.

Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters say it’s likely that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, with 11% who say it’s Very Likely. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% consider a second civil war unlikely, but that includes only 29% who say it’s Not At All Likely.

DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT, we are better than this!

I don't think it's necessarily that we're "better" than this, but we certainly are "smarter" than this ...

They are already there in Texas. The demographics are changing at a rapid pace there. The Border Wall is extremely important to save Texas, as well as cutting WAY back on the “free $hit” that is given to the unproductive group. Thats why my state is still Conservative. We don’t offer much, and often, there is community work requirements to get some assistance. That is the key to stay conservative....NO Free $hit. Help those that Need help and require work to help them keep their dignity.

There will just be random violence, because nobody would know where the front is. Chicago inner city ain’t traveling down to Texas spoiling for a battle, and vice versa.

“No flame intended but how do we come together?”

When the news comes out as to exactly what appx. 70% of the Republicans and Democrats have been involved in, the public will turn away from BOTH parties in utter disgust.

Think Pizzagate x 1000.

What I see is not so much a Civil War as a revolution paralleling the French Revolution where the people revolt against a haughty elite who treated them with utter contempt. Sadly that type of revolution will be as violent as the events in 1789.

Would not take much to block off access to and from a city ... including food.

IIRC your basic siege tactics are:

Cut off the power
Cut off the water
Then roll in the artillery

Do not underestimate the Left’s relationship with gangs. A ready made armed and trained killing force. Ever wonder why the Left doesn’t come down hard on gangs? Now you do.

“When they take their masks off, most of these clowns are pimply faced “revolutionaries” who would, if they were confronted by a group of bikers or miliatary vets in a one-on-one situation, would run home crying and hide in their bedrooms.”

Here’s video proof of the accuracy of your statement.

Situational awareness, operational control, and proper timing.

There are FEWER high voltage lines

And even fewer water lines. The reservoirs are in Trump country.

No food, no power and no water. Chaos within days.

Haven't seen a likely candidate for a Ping recently; this one looks appropriate.

About the CWII Ping List

The CWII Ping List is short for Civil War II. It is NOT a list of people advocating another Civil War in America. It is a list of people who are interested in the parallels between the Civil War (or War Between the States, if you prefer) and our current situation, or more generally are noting the references to a 'coming Civil War' that are made in the press.

Of course sometimes this is merely a figure of speech, such as "The Tea Parties are fighting a civil war for the heart of the GOP". This would not merit a CWII ping.

On the other hand someone saying something like "The events in California are reminiscent of what happened in Yugoslavia in the period proceeding the Civil War" would merit a ping.

FR rules do not permit advocating for the overthrow of the Republic, and I am not aware of anyone doing so on the list. Still many do see that as the political climate worsens we may be heading in a direction that makes such a conflict all but inevitable, particularly if other avenues for resolving our differences are taken away. Such as widespread vote fraud by leftists making elections meaningless, or a small cadre of judges over-ruling all attempts to end destructive policies over the clear will of the people.

The correct keyword tag for the Civil War II ping list is "CWII". Please Freep Mail me to get on the list

anyone who was paying attention can see that social media was used to help remove all the secular governments in the Middle East and was clearly a warm-up for the ultimate goal, causing a war in the media savvy united states.

they didn’t count on the alt-right breaking the message cycle with memes, so they have outlawed memes in Europe and will likely try to do so here if they ever get in charge again...

Thanks for the ping, DW. It’s cold now but will probably get hot.

Don’t forget media outlets.

If CWII breaks out, the media - local and national - will be (must be) the first of enemy agents to fall.

About the same difference between a “radical” moslem and a “moderate” moslem.
