I agree with many people that we have the right emotional conditions for a civil war.
Personally, there are many times in the past 5 years I would have gone out with a rifle and pistol to shoot the ‘woke’ media and government people.
Elon Musk and others are right; we have been ripe for a civil war for many years.
I didn’t go out and shoot people because I could never find the right person or place to shoot that would start the civil war.
The actual American Civil War had a geographic point of origin.
“The war began on April 12, 1861, when the Confederacy bombarded Fort Sumter in South Carolina.”
The public attitudes were geographically divided into many Northern and nearly all Southern states. No such distinct geographic division exists today between the ‘woke’ and the anti-woke. Even the core of cities versus the rest of the nation is a poor division of ‘woke’ and anti-woke.
At one time I was tempted to call on my fellow patriots to meet at the newest federal government building on Mission St. in San Francisco and begin shooting anyone who went in or out. But that would have killed many of my own compatriots. It wouldn’t have worked.
The new civil war can not begin until most people on each side are geographically separated.
