I have been making this prediction for a long, long time.

Because this country is so badly is divided, most likely there will be a civil war or revolution.

I have been making this prediction for a long, long time. Because this country is so badly is divided, most likely there will be a civil war or revolution.

I was reminded of that very thing while talking long distance to my (very liberal) dad a few days back. When we talk, we can't help but get onto the subject of current events, and no matter the issue, he perfectly parrots the left-wing talking points. Naturally, I pop every balloon he sends up, but after a while, it's exhausting.

In our last conversation, I finally had to tell him that I had to quit. There's just no use in talking about anything related to politics, because we're simply at opposite ends of the spectrum.

We're never going to agree on politics. Our positions are hardened like granite, and neither of us is going to budge. Things haven't been this bad since members of my family fought on opposite sides of the Civil War (brother vs brother).

There is nothing improving the dialogue. It's just getting worse with each passing month. That doesn't bode well for the peace of the country in the near future.
