Is America about to face its second civil war? The Portland antifa ally suspected of shooting a Trump supporter said a civil war was “right around the corner.” Former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta war-gamed the 2020 election and suggested that Joe Biden may cry foul if he loses, starting off a chain reaction resulting in secession and a civil war. Far-left groups recently came together to prepare for a civil war.
While many fear a civil war may be in America’s near future, in some senses, the civil war may have already begun. When South Carolina seceded from the Union in 1861 and officially kicked off the Civil War, Americans had already been fighting one another for years. The decade of the 1850s has a great deal to teach modern Americans about how a civil war happens.
The Civil War wasn’t as clear cut as we think
In the September 2020 edition of The Atlantic, anti-racism author Ibram X. Kendi compared Donald Trump’s presidency to the 1850s, the decade leading up to the Civil War. He suggested that Trump has proved that America is still racist and that he has inspired a backlash of mass protests, “an anti-racist revolution.”

Yes.
Oh, we won't be nearly that lucky.
Ours is going to be more like Bosnia....

So my vote for Trump was showing I'm still a racist? You Leftist fling that word around so much it really has lost it's value.
Yeah, I'm a racist. Just like BLM, just like the democrats and just like 90 percent of black people. Y'all need to stop it throwing that word around like it means something.
The BLM/antfa anarchy will end on Nov 4th. So will the Corona hoax. The Democrat mayors and Guvs will crack down on the rioters, lift the lock down and open schools because there will no more political capital to be had form continuing this crazy BS. The MSM will pretend like none of this even happened.
Take OR, they have the votes necessary to get the entire state to secede, so yes it could happen.
If any state wants to leave the USA then they go with my blessing. Vaya con dios. AMF.
So was it legal before 1869?
Pray for a peaceful secession because we cannot go on like this much longer. The 50 are reaching critical mass.
Secession does not mean war. They are different things.
No
If just the police would get out of the way it would be a dead bang!
Why yes it has.
Sesession is not likely because all of the states that would secede are in the position of Virginia in 1862. Virginia was able to split because the pro north pouulation was all physically apart from the Southern loyalist population and geographically separerated. If the modern day seceders managed to split their states they would be only the cities with no hinterland. If they carry the whole state into secession they are immediately involved in internal opposition to the occupiers of most of the land and holders of most of the guns.
