Interesting commentary in questionable times:
While civil war hand-wringing might sound like fringe thinking, a 2022 poll by YouGov and the Economist found that 40 percent of Americans believe a new civil war is “at least somewhat likely in the next 10 years.” A Zogby poll found similar sentiments. That number drops to 14 percent when you only include those who “strongly” believe it. Last week, RuPaul drew headlines by declaring in a New Yorker profile that the U.S. is “moments away from fucking civil war. I’m fearing the absolute worst. All the signs are there.”
Civil war fears are enough of a concern that The New York Times has held a debate on the topic, while Politico announced in a recent headline that “the threat of civil breakdown is real.” Historians assure that an actual civil war “is really unlikely,” though one worrisomely added, “There are so many bad things that can happen well short of civil war.”
I am not surprised about the concerns over a civil war. When the government becomes a tyrant and seeks to crush a majority of the people
ReplyDeleteyea, something is going to snap and that is what the government want in order to justify cracking down on Conservatives that they already call domestic terrorists. I don't see any civil war occur unless the people no longer are able to work or carry on business, that is why the Powers That Be want to maintain the financial system and slowly crack down on us with inflation, stealing our wealth.
We also have the threat of Russia and China's hegemonic designs upon this country and the rest of the world. Our weakened and overstressed military and chaos in America would be the perfect opportunity for an invasion. A number of members have seen such visions and dreams of such.
Some of what I have read is coming from reporters who are already prejudiced against Conservatives in their analysis, as much as they feign objectivity. They will have no friends amongst Conservatives or Russia and China.
I would like it to be categorized as a second revolution. Prophecy tells us who wins. The second American revolution has yet to happen. We will throw of our oppressor's. Bu by Tares. A war against snowflakes and there ideas?
