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.
