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

Saw some convoys on I-80. NOT! “They” will obviously use the “threat” as a pretense. Hmmm? Remind me again of who did that sort of thing............. 😵💫🐂💩🤡
New York Times is regurgitating governement propaganda for an excuse to crack down on conservatives.
Ridiculous. IFirst off it would have to be a guerilla warfare on our side and even then the military would still be able to destroy us in a second. This isn’t like the 1860s where both sides have nothing but rifles and cannons. The only hope we would have is if currently serving vets followed their oath of enlistment and went after those destroying the constitution, but I can’t see how that could happen with woke leadership in charge.
I smell B.S.

I have never ever seen a president demonize a previous President. Joe Biden is straight up evil and a petulant child. Classless.
Never seen a President claim that all the voters of his opponents, which he stole the election from, are enemies of the state. Yeah, a Civil War will likely happen.
Exactly. I was interested in the article because the writer had obviously done something I did. About five years ago I put ‘civil war’ as a saved search term on my twitter account. When things get heated I look at it. If ‘Master of the Universe: Civil War’ is the dominant trending topic, I consider things calm.. if not... things look bad. Recently there have been far more bad results ... who knows, maybe the movie is less popular now?

Yes. The model would be more like Rwanda in the 1990s, or Spain 1935. Instead of clubs Americans would be using guns. The left would automatically turn it into a race war, which would probably devolve quickly into an ‘every man for himself’ situation...

Proving once again the 2020 election WAS manipulated and rigged by the workings of the DOJ & FBI. Biden family's business associate Tony Bubulinski exposed the whole thing once again on Tucker Carlson Tuesday evening!

Nah. Just do it the Viet Cong way. No one knows who the real combatant is until he/she fires a round or two, killing the onesy or twosey target. Grab their gear and disappear.
The real trick is making sure you don’t tell anyone else. Never know who is on the other side.
