There's a lot of hostile tension between the right and the left in the US right now. It's even resulted in some violence and rioting.
Does anybody else feel that a second civil war might possibly one day break out in this country between the Conservative States and Liberal States? Just like the North and South? In this case the line might divide the North, South, and West.
As much as I am pissed off and disillussioned with my country I think that this would be a horrible thing. I mean just imagine how much of the country would have been destroyed and ripped apart during the first Civil War if we had bombs and airplanes back then?

I imagine that was the case during every war, but it's ultimately the governments who decide for us. They will do and say anything to encourage us to hate and fight each other when it benefits them.
I decided a long time ago that I would never fight in somebody else's war. If somebody tried to force me to fight I would choose prison or even death. I'm simply badass like that.

Parts of the country are already being ripped up in the name of a wall, various wildlife refuge areas and public land with important habitat is still under threat. So civil war or not, things are still being ripped up.

Agreed. The turmoil is very real. I'm even starting to see some of it for myself in both Florida and Georgia.

Read up on the various riots of the 60s.
If ever there was potential for a nationwide civil war, that was the time.
It didn’t happen.
What’s going on now is nothing compared to what was going on then.
I guess you're right, I wasn't alive in the 1960's. Lol
But am I the only one who finds it a weird coincidence that such a thing happened in both the 1860's and 1960's? History does seem to echo... Maybe what's going on now has the potential makings of another world war? Maybe by the 2030's we will have entered another Great Depression with this bad economy?
