One nation, divisible: 2 in 5 Americans say a second civil war is likely, poll finds
The New York Post ^ | 08/30/2022 | Mark Moore

The majority of Americans believe political divisions have worsened since the beginning of 2021, a new poll finds — and two out of five think a civil war is likely to break out within the next decade.

About two-thirds — 66% — say Americans have become more split politically since the start of 2021 and they are largely pessimistic about the future of the United States, with 63% saying they expect the separations to increase and 62% predicting political violence will worsen over the next few years, the YouGovAmerica poll shows.

***

Asked about the likelihood that the country will be riven by a second civil war in the next 10 years, 14% believe it is “very likely,” 29% say it is “somewhat likely,” while 24% opt for “not very likely” and 11% say “not likely at all.” *** The poll found 79% of Republicans believe the political divisions have worsened since President Biden took office in January 2021, compared to 59% of Democrats and 65% of independents.

Biden’s Reichstag speech didn’t help that’s for sure.

Since it wasn’t on any of the major networks, who exactly saw it?

Guessing 90% still don’t even know about it and if they did probably wouldn’t care.

Succession is the only way - there is no reforming wicked libtards

I would rather build a separate country apart from their ilk

Polls used to say at various times that a certain percentage thought the economy would go into recession, for example, and it did even though well under 50% thought it would.

Possibilities remain:

Secession (but who pays the defense and income taxes and how are they funded if state leave?”

Cold War (what we have today. Hatred, hostility, BLM riots, slander on news media, banana republic kangaroo court trials)

Hot Civil War II.

You’re right. Americans are too apathetic and distracted by today’s versions of bread and circuses to ever get off the couch to defend their rights and liberties again, much less fight each other in a civil war. We’ll just follow the Roman path to gradual collapse.

Full Blown CW2? I personally have to say probably not. It is nice to own AR15s with FRT’s though :)

“Succession is the only way - there is no reforming wicked libtards.”

Succession, as in a trust? Are you implying that the country is an asset or holding in a trust? If so, who is the successor?

After China takes over the first island chain, will it be hungry for more?

We always skip over state by state secession and jump right to war. Why is that? It doesn’t HAVE to be war. It could be peaceful separation, at leas at the state/federal level.

It is spelled secession, and you sir are correct.

If the PLA landed an army I would be tempted to view then as liberators. I have lived in China. It is less repressive in some.ways than here. And they don’t put up with the “Woke” agenda.

Go Fund Me Fundraiser:

Goal: 1 Trillion

Purpose: Since the Biden administration on Sept 1, 2022 has declared 1/3 of the nation dangerous to "his democracy", and has in the past stated that we would need nukes and F-15s to resist the imposition of "his democracy", we're looking to aquire either equal items or acceptable countermeasures. Goal is by January, 2023, since the election might not fit the idea of "his democracy".

"Succession is the only way - there is no reforming wicked libtards.

I agree, how can you possibly have a business relationship, or even a social one, with someone who has no morality and who lies to you with every breath..
