Could be. When one side is wrong, but won't admit defeat-. How do we usually move on?

It's been brewing for a while, and is actually what the powers that be and media want. If we are fighting each other (over crap they instigated and created), we won't unite and go against them.

No. We will experience a VERY difficult year, financially, while Biden and his crew of clowns eff up our country...right up until next November.

Landslide votes will remove the Democrat/Socialist Marxists from the House and the Senate in next year's midterm elections. We can't remove Biden from office for now...but in 2022 we can try to impeach him for breaking the law.

His compromised son, Hunter, advised him just prior to Biden's talks with Xi Jinping, and in that, he definitely broke the law. He can be removed by a Republican House of Representatives and voted out by the Senate.

Civil strife and the fact that America is almost like two countries forced to live with each other is nothing new, has it boiled over into civil war in the past? Yep! With the first war that succeeded and the second one that didn't, but it takes some kind of grindstone, an issue that affects more than one aspect of life. I mean we had the want of self governance by a people similar to a landed aristocracy who didn't want to have to pay taxes, so they got everybody worked up with patriotism and set the dogs loose. That one succeeded. What was it George Washington said, that he didn't want to be "England's ni##er '. They preached liberty and equality but that was bullshit, because if you were lower class, black, female or native American you didn't count. Then the next one, SLAVERY!!!! Which most reasonable countries outlawed without too much of a fuss, but this got everybody worked up and reminded the nation again that they were two countries forced to live with one and other, each with their own view of the future. One half rebelled and they lost, good, good. So now it's 2021 and we have Democrats and Republicans representing the two different sides of American life. So what could remind these two sides of how much they hate each other, and make them feel like they're each being victimized by the other enough to start a war. Well, Trump nearly did it and there was civil strife enough under him, but not enough for a war. I mean he got a few morons to storm the capitol, but that didn't achieve anything. Racism? Well that's always been a good excuse as any for people to kick the shit out of each other in America. Not a bad excuse considering how bad it can get over there. Social inequality? A good old frog style revolution against the rich? Nah. You need people to be starved for a good long while for that to happen and Americans are generally pretty fat and happy. That's another thing, you have the government which has the army, one of the best in the world, at least in fighting battles if not in finishing campaigns to a positive conclusion, but you have a well trained army, bloated by cash and filled with patriotic vigor and who is their main threat at home? Well, their main threat at home are a bunch of fat, white, bearded nutjobs off in the hills somewhere or roaming about in Texas. I mean if you wanted to beat them just make them run a few miles down the road, there'd be cardiac arrests every couple of miles. But Texas!!! If Texas decided to break away from the United States could that lead to war? Yep, but do most Texans want that? I don't think so but I could be wrong. Would the rest of America have a problem with Texas breaking away? Probably not, they'd probably laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh. It'd be like if Florida decided to break off, I mean Florida is a joke, just as Texas is and all it would take is an armed incursion from the north, a few black eyes, a few arrests and it'd be over within the week. So no, I think America will continue to limp along as it has since the last civil war with its usual problems of too many guns, too much inequality and too many racist, fat white guys with beards with nothing else to do, but hang around in the hills scratching their balls, and making up conspiracy theories about UN boogey men coming to take their guns away. So until something new comes along, I don't think there will be another civil war anytime soon, I could be wrong!!! The orange bonehead wants to try and run again in 2024, so that might do it, but I doubt it. His followers couldn't organize themselves out of a paper bag. But then again the Christians in the early days were pretty useless, and look at them now!!! Bloody churches everywhere.

@Allelse Right on!
Oberon1 · 61-69, M
@Allelse 1- The fact that the some of the elect of God exist within the borders of this nation is the only reason it still exists as a nation. 2- Trump did not instigate the mob activity on January 6th. That was a clever but very treacherous operation by the same democrats who created the Russia hoax. 3- Biden Incorporated has not yet destroyed the fact that minorities have more opportunity, acceptance, and freedom in the USA than in any other country on earth, but they are fast approaching the point of that no longer being true. 4- Trump was, as good, or better than Reagan at rescuing this country from pseudo democrats. He had everything going in the right direction, and if Kamala and Joe would have just gone to the beach, this country would be in a lot better shape.

@Ducky We haven't always been this divided, the intensity of bickering has really gone up since about the late 90's, which, incidentally, correlates with the birth of Fox News. But apparently if you mention Fox News in a conversation about how the country has become more divided they assume you're looney. "No, Fox News hasn't done anything to make me madder, I'd be this mad without Fox News."
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@Theyitis But other opinions need to be aired also, and there are more conservative TV stations coming on, and liberal talk radio is almost non-existant. The democratic party is being run by the extreme left fringe, and until the party bosses stand up to them, bi-partisanship will be minimal

If they ( the Biden gang) cut off the flow of oil to the us , or deny food , etc over bogus vaccine mandates , etc… I suspect violent pushback will occur
carpediem · 61-69, M
Media is certainly pushing for it. Imagine the ratings then!
We already are...it's simply an informational war. The division is quite real, and the divide is greater than I've ever seen. A shooting war is obviously quite different, but it is exactly what the cabal wants. They want Americans to believe there is no other option. Pure evil.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
The Left is pitting people against each other using the media, hyped-up news stories of racial or ethnic conflicts, etc. They want people to be miserable enough to fight. We’ve had rioting and looting in many cities last year and random attacks against people who were just minding their own business and not bothering anyone and what the hell did that accomplish? Nothing. This is not how to get ahead in life. The media could be showing stories of communities that live in harmony and help the downtrodden or build bridges between groups but they choose to focus on the negative things. People need to wake the hell up and see how they are being manipulated in order to fragment society so much this nation can be taken over easier. Don’t give them the power to do it.

@cherokeepatti The Cloward-Piven Strategy:

(This is a real strategy developed by the far left).

Healthcare– Control healthcare and you control the people.

Poverty – Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

Debt – Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

Gun Control – Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

Welfare – Take control of every aspect of their lives. (Food, Housing, and Income)

Education – Take control of what people read and listen to us“ take control of what children learn in school.

Religion – Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.

Class Warfare – Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor.


(Also...see unlimited illegal immigration, open borders, and paying illegals welfare.)

More like a quick coup. The military won't stand for much more of this BS. There are some 'American Marxist' brass, but the vast majority of the military will step in eventually if the left doesn't stop with the nonsense.
It's either that, or this country will fade into history like the Roman Empire.

Theyitis · 36-40, M
Don’t think so, I don’t think there’s an appetite for war on the left. We’ll protest, but I don’t see us wanting to kill anyone.

I wouldn’t say that our positions are becoming more extreme, at least not symmetrically. What’s really happened is, it started with Fox News in the late 90’s, they made a killing providing alarmist entertainment that passed for news that targeted white men and convinced them that the government was screwing them in favor of women and minorities. So it’s not so much that the right moved right as it is they became more pissed off and less civil, and they started believing in alternative sets of facts that created an alternate reality for them. Now Newsmax, OAN, and others apparently do a better job of what was started by Fox.

What’s about to happen though, is Trump loyalists are setting up to steal the 2024 election by installing Trump loyalists in positions to count the votes and by delegating power to Republican-led state legislatures to override the will of the people by a simple majority vote, no explanation or evidence needed. From there they can pass even more laws to tighten voting restrictions in the name of “election security” to make it impossible to vote them out. We’re headed for permanent one party rule, and that one party is in the minority but really good at consolidating power.

@Theyitis They are maybe the 2% of media that occasionally leans right. As opposed to the 98% that blatantly cheerleads for the other side
Theyitis · 36-40, M
@SW-User Today you see it that way. If you took a poll back just before Fox News had started most Americans would not have said that 98 or 100% of media leaned, let alone blatantly cheerled for the left.
SW-User
@Theyitis So Fox illustrated that for them?

Good for them
dancingtongue · 80-89, M
The optimist in me sees it more like sequel to the 60's social turmoil over the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement, where you had some domestic terrorism, a lot of protests, and polarization. Until everyone grew weary, Nixon declared victory in Vietnam and the last few to escape clung to helicopters flying out of Saigon, just as Biden did in Kabul. So ultimately no civil war, but no resolution either, people just grew tired of it all and sought some pragmatic middle ground to go on with their lives.

The pessimist in me sees it more like the lead-up to World War II since, as someone else pointed out, the polarization and xenophobia is happening world wide and not just in the U.S. Again, no Civil War. When the bombs hit Pearl Harbor all the America First isolationists and Fifth Column supporters of fascism in Europe disappeared overnight.
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
This is a phenomena that is all over the Western world. I can't see the two camps coming together.

It does scare me. I do see changes of the partisanship happening in my own family and friends. Countries that went into a civil war started off slowly like today until finally the division has been normalized.

@IrishRover1981 Seriously how often have we been united. Most of WWII and a short while after 9/11 is all that comes to mind. The rest of the time has been pretty rancorous.

And what do you expect. Bring in masses from every group from every corner of the world, everyone with competing agendas, and you expect harmony? Unity?

And set the system up so that horrid demagogues can grab unlimited wealth and power by keeping everyone at each's throats.

Every country that has a relatively peaceful population have a manageable, homogenous population. And many of them are idiotically commiting suicide by bringing in masses of savages with no skills and no desire to assimilate
SW-User
No, I don't think so. The fact is that the two major parties in the U.S. mostly want the same thing; they play up the conflict over wedge issues to win elections, but neither party wants anything to fundamentally change. I think those who want a civil war will continue to try and provoke violence, but I don't think that's a majority of the population. Most of us just live our lives without hating everyone around us.

The only thing that might save having a Civil War is a Congress of States that out number the leftist / socialist states. With that it is possible that things might change with out having a Civil War or coup. But I am not holding my breath as the super wealthy elitist socialists pulling the strings in this country will not give up and if things go badly they will probably move out leaving desolation behind them.

@ElwoodBlues Tell me you don't inhabit my country. That you are a forlorn foreigner.

I'm sick to think I share a country with you. Anyhow. Anyway
@SW-User Why do you beg for lies?

Well, if you really like lies, here's a nice pack of lies:

Jan 22 “And we have it totally under control... It’s going to be just fine.”
Jan 24, he tweeted “It will all work out well.”
Jan 30: “Well, we pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
Feb 05 CDC started shipping test kits. They didn't work.
Feb 10 “Looks like by April, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away,”
Feb 19 “I think the numbers are going to get progressively better as we go along.”
Feb 23 “very much under control,”
Feb 26 “We’re going down, not up. We’re going very substantially down, not up.”
Feb 26 “...when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
Feb 28 concern about coronavirus “is their new hoax”
Feb 28 “we’ve lost nobody and you wonder the press is in hysteria mode.”
Feb 29 said a vaccine would be available “very quickly” and “very rapidly”
Mar 02 “We’re talking about a much smaller range” of deaths than from the flu.
Mar 04 (to Hannity) “It’s very mild.”
Mar 10 “And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.”
Mar 13 “No. I don't take responsibility at all.”

Trump, Feb. 07 to Woodward: “It goes through the air. That’s always tougher than the touch. You don’t have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that’s how it’s passed. And so that’s a very tricky one. That’s a very delicate one. It’s also more deadly than even your strenuous flus.”

Trump June 20: "Slow the testing down, please! ... By having more tests, we have more cases!"

Not in the sense of the last civil war. But there is already a Cold war of sorts. In the end, the result will be the same as last time for the same reasons. Money means control.

I think that USA should do away with politics all together and trim the fat. Without this puppet government we may have a chance to come together, not as political parties or their influences, but as Americans. Then perhaps we'd have half a chance at starting over, but I fear it may be too late. There's too much greed, and poison in our blood. We need to learn how to love each other, and stop this unending senseless war, and work on a better world in unity as humans, but that's Wishful thinking, right?
