Okay...let’s think about it: If there is a ‘hot civil war’...how do you tell who the enemy is? In case you’re thinking that I’m picking on someone, I’m not aiming at anyone in particular. This is for everyone.

In the 1st Civil War, it was pretty easy. The Union soldiers wore blue uniforms and fought under the Star and Stripes. The Confederates wore gray uniforms and fought under the Stars and Bars. It was pretty clearly delineated who was fighting who.

Fast forward to now. What uniform does the enemy wear. What’s that you say...they DON’T? Then how do you tell if they’re the enemy?

You say “Liberals and Democrats are the enemy!”. Okay...how can you tell a liberal from a conservative?

Clothing?
Ethnicity?
Skin color?
Language?

Which of these is the ‘bad guy’? How will you tell?

What is the methodology for deciding who is the enemy? Don’t give me the line “If you don’t know by now...” I want to know: How will you decide who is the enemy?

Great post and I can’t tell who the enemy is because many of them are ignorant not malicious. Many are products of a poor education system or open indoctrination but with some education and motivation may well swing the issue back to a more conservative outcome. If we openly attack them they are our enemies for a long time. I only feel true dislike to a few POTUS and VPOTUS and REID Pelosi and their minions. Most voters are ignorant and need to be led and informed not harmed or attacked. Naïve maybe but war is nasty and if you think you know how it will end tell it to the Headstones at Little Big Horn or the bleached bones on the Kabul Jalalabad road.
