Soon after the FBI searched Donald Trump’s home in Florida for classified documents, online researchers zeroed in on a worrying trend.
Posts on Twitter that mentioned “civil war” had soared nearly 3,000% in just a few hours as Trump’s supporters blasted the action as a provocation. Similar spikes followed, including on Facebook, Reddit, Telegram, Parler, Gab and Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform. Mentions of the phrase more than doubled on radio programs and podcasts, as measured by Critical Mention, a media-tracking firm.
Posts mentioning “civil war” jumped again a few weeks later, after President Joe Biden branded Trump and “MAGA Republicans” a threat to “the very foundations of our republic” in a speech on democracy in Philadelphia.
Now experts are bracing for renewed discussions of civil war, as the Nov. 8 midterm elections approach and political talk grows more urgent and heated.
More than a century and a half after the actual Civil War, the deadliest war in U.S. history, “civil war” references have become increasingly commonplace on the right. While in many cases the term is used only loosely — shorthand for the nation’s intensifying partisan divisions — observers note that the phrase, for some, is far more than a m

the LEFT is salivating for one
No mention of the 18 yr old kid murdered for being a Repub in WY.
the LEFT is setting the stage for a false flag
Both Yahoo readers totally believed the article.

Yep. Yahoo! stoking the flames of paranoia.
I wonder how many articles Yahoo! published discussing the online rantings of BLM and Antifa?
“This is the New York Times.”
The New York Times only reports that there are posts on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Telegram, Parler, Gab and Truth Social suggesting civil war.
A civil war does not end with each side eventually going their separate way. It is usually a winner-take-all.
That is why no Confederate States of America exists today.
Our CW was basically Dems v Repubs. They were just majorities in different states. Dems held the South. Only recently (last 30-40 years) have Repubs become the majority in the South.
Demographics change over time. A half-century ago, Cali and NY were staunch Repub states.
Trump supporters should recognize this, maintain operational disciple, and focus on voting and reporting vote fraud when recognized.
Please note that the article squarely puts the blame for the ‘Civil War’ talk on the right, even though it was the left that raided Mar-A-Lago and it was the leftest speech writers that put the words ‘semi-fascists’ and ‘threat to our democracy’ and ‘Insurrection’ onto FJB’s teleprompter for him to read to the nation.
“When near, make it seem as though you are far away. When far away, make it seem as though you are near.”
I have been investing in scopes for my hunting rifle. Rated up to Rhino. I keep trying to get more precision at distance, but 400 yards is about as far as I trust myself with a shot that mattered now. I would like to get that to 800 yards. The ethos of my generation took hold...
“Do unto others, then split!”
“Better you than me.”
Well, this letter should turn stomachs
The Red states control the oil, the agriculture, the manufacturing and the transportation. The Blues share bathrooms. You decide.
Only people talking about Civil War online are FBI agents and FBI moles.
No sane person would ever say ANYTHING online which in monitored by the DOJ, ATF, FBI.
So just say hello to the FBI agents provoking a Civil War discussion.
“Hello FBI”
The US couldn’t do it to the taliban.
Just sayin’.
Where do they expect this civil war to start?
Unlike BLM, I don’t see the red folks burning down their cities.
So, who exactly is going to lead this uprising and what will they attack?
Not a matter of “IF” at this point... Just “WHEN”.
Then again, I really thought we would have lit things off back over Algore’s stupidity during the 2K nonsense.
Not much civil war talk on this site.
The Left and the government class will not accept the result of the midterms (and things will get a little crazier)…but that won’t quite do it. What will launch the left and the government class into open, violent rebellion will be the election of Trump (for the third time) in 2024. Blue states will toy with secession (and a few might actually do it) and there will be riots and skirmishes across the land.
This is going to be extremely messy, but necessary if the people want to be out from under the federal government’s Jack boot.
Don’t forget the blm/antifa riots, the 2017 Inauguration Day riot.
Why do we hear nothing and see no video of the riot at the White House when PDJT had to be taken to the bunker and St John’s Church burned?
I think a good indicator is the obesity rate and income level vs obesity. If the poorest stop being the most likely to be obese there could be trouble.
