Civil wars end when one side is forced to accept the authority of the other. The left expects everyone to accept its ideological authority. Conservatives expect the left to accept Constitutional authority. The conflict is still political and cultural. Its being fought in the media and within the government. But if neither side backs down, then it will go beyond words as both sides give contradictory orders. Indeed it will.

There has been a civil war going on for a long time. The problem is, only one side [theirs] is fighting.

No, the Civil War is not here yet.
Our country still functions on, and many cracks are papered over with, massive government debt, in a printed, fiat currency. That currency and debt is still accepted around the world - so the game continues, for now.
When that stops - then REAL choices must be made.

We have been fighting Jihad even before such a term has become fashionable. It is the leftist Jihad, not Muslim Jihad. You can't defeat it by economic policy discussions and elections alone. They have now taken over most government institutions. Now they pass themselves as 'rational mainstream' order fighting irrational stupid malcontents. This is rich considering that they were the ones who said,"Never trust anybody over 30's" and advocated dismantling all existing institutions back in 60's and 70's.
It is our time to trust no elites and dismantle their authorities.
PS: For those who cringe at any sign of boomer bashing, it does not apply to you if you were not one of them. If you were one of them and are no longer, don't be defensive. Some people are still subconsciously attach to the generational group identity. If you still has one, sever it now. It is not too late to do that.

A civil war has begun.
This civil war is very different than the last one. There are no cannons or cavalry charges. Yet. ping!

Thanks very much for posting this excellent explanation of what we are seeing right now. This is a must read for our side.
The leftist media is our greatest enemy. If the leftist agenda was properly exposed by an honest media, it would be rejected. That isn’t going to happen when the vast majority of the media supports and contributes to their common agenda.

Democracy IS a totalitarian system. The very reason the left calls themselves ‘democrats’. They are unmoored from the rule of law. Tyrannical little POS.

Call it what you want, but this is a fight for the country.
If they succeed in getting rid of Trump, we get no more chances. Traditional solutions no longer work in a system which is so corrupt even it’s intelligence agencies have been subverted, compromised and undermined.

The democratic system is totalitarianism. This nation never was a democracy. Democracy is a fancy way of saying mob rule.

It means that their first and foremost allegiance is to an ideology, not the Constitution, not our country or our system of governmentI think that they're mostly fighting for the survival of their party presently. They have been beaten back hard over the past 8 years. They're wounded, scared, and desperate.
They'll do whatever it takes to keep the Democratic party alive.

"

Read history from about 1852 through the start of the Civil War. Things now are not nearly as different as they seem on the surface.
There were groups battling of media, the big newspapers with well known names taking sides on issues and the small newspapers or pamphleteers publishing with a narrow focus, often deliberately trying to incite unrest and violence, plus weekly pulp magazines that would print anything, true or false, they could attach an eye catching image to (forerunners of they National Enquirer genre). Aside from the largest city newspapers, they mostly had small, localized, circulation but which often got a surprisingly widespread distribution through railroad employees and travelers carrying them around the country plus even sharing them via the mail.
I'd say wait and see if something similar to Bloody Kansas develops in the Southwest or in large cities from the clash between those intent on ignoring illegal immigration and those intent on stopping and reversing it.
That's where the fuse was really lit because that's where issue that could be used to hide the real, money issues, came to a head in a way that generated a lot of emotional energy.
