And you've yet to explain how this whole civil war thing is going to work. How are battle lines going to be drawn up and how is this going to be fought? The country is not drawn up by red states and blue states that can fight each other. This is a country that is well blended and where enemies would literally live next door to each other. How does that turn into a civil war.
There are lots of tensions in this country, but I know no one that wants a civil war. Yeah, people talk a lot of #### about politics and act all tough, until you remind them they would have to kill their neighbor, because they have different political views. The problem is not the people, the problem is our media and the unregulated bull#### that flows from it. The reason there is tension is because the two medias can't agree on the facts. The conservative media is so detached from reality and has made so much money stoking fears of the other side that they have created a segment of the population willing to do the unspeakable to their opponents. It's tribalism in action, but if push comes to shove every single one of these idiots will turn tail and run back home to their Fox News bubble the second anything resembling danger arises. Just like the people they watch in the conservative media, they are chicken hawks and will immediately backdown when the #### gets real. A few wingnuts may do something stupid, but the vast majority of the country will remain sane and quickly throw their support behind putting the nonsense down.
