But he doesn't seem to get that there's another comparative example, at least as relevant as the American Civil War 1861-1865, the Spanish Civil War 1936-1939.
Hollywood, run by those same [REDACTED] people, gave its typical leftist take with the Ingrid Bergman and Gary Cooper film "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1943), after the novel of the same name by Ernest Hemingway (1940).

Hemingway must have heard of John Donne's poem. Maybe the film people knew of it, and stretched it into the red. Not sure what Donne would have thought of the 20th century reds.
No one seems to have considered that, after the Spanish reds killed 4,000 priests, bishops and sisters, maybe the other side wasn't necessarily in Hitler's camp, as Hollywood's broad red brush has painted it.
Think bloody Kansas circa 1850s when justice was null and void and cross border raids and massacres were common in the dead of the night. I've long predicted death squads forming in the US.
Direct DJT quote: "I exposed it all & I will be the one to clean it up"
If the Dems trigger a War with Russia to remain in power, that could have violent impacts here in the USA.
The War Between the States was just that. A war between two confederations of sovereign states. An actual civil war would be more akin to the war between Caesar and the Optimates in ancient Rome.
No. We are not.
Some folks in their own world think so.
They do not realize most of the country does not believe as they do.
Far left. Far right. Both minorities.
This internal conflict could very well start out as the civilized vs the uncivilized ...
We have been in CW2 for quite a while and they took first blood!
Who would expect a source named “Turth Jihad” to have a somewhat “extreme” position.
I see talk of CW2 on FR on a daily basis. I dont see it anywhere else. It makes me wonder who is going to attack whom? And will the rest of the country even notice? I think they are focused on their daily stuff.l
Normally one gets rid of traitors through court trials, convictions, and sentences for the traitors to be hanged, preferably in public. But when the Traitorcrats have filled the federal administration and the court system with traitors, applying constitutional justice to traitors becomes nearly impossible to do.
I think China is the bigger threat, Blinken just gave them the Green Light to take Taiwan with force recently. We have a treaty that says we will defend them. should be interesting
We’re no where near a “civil war” which BTW..is the desire of the UniParty.
From their perspective it would provide permission/cover for “death squads
Bkmk
"Soft Secession" by Conservative states.
We relentlessly seek a peaceful divorce.
Because, we cannot - and will not - live with the Political Left anymore.
I would say more akin to the French Revolution than Civil War
People need to take the constitutional option seriously. It has become difficult because of how invasive government has become, and how little privacy people now have.
One of the first things the left did was legalize prostitution and abortion, sound familiar?
“We” are not. It takes two sides to fight. We don’t have any fight in us. The Coup of 2020 proved that.
“Gahary says the current situation is much more of a civil war than The American Civil War, which Gahary says, as a succession effort, was a revolutionary war.”
SECESSION, not Succession.
In the Spanish Civil War, the Republicans (loyalists) were supported by France and the USSR; while the Nationalists (fascists) were supported by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy. The Spanish civil war was Germany’s and Italy’s attempt to spread fascism in Europe, with focus on overthrowing the Spanish Republican government. It was a very nasty affair.
And it gave Germany, especially, the opportunity to try out its new weapons and tactics.
They say Colombia’s civil war lasted for decades. Maybe the same was true of Lebanon’s. That may be what we’re in for. Not a war between states or governments, but between paramilitary factions, or between such factions and the local, regional or national governments. More like China in the days of the regional war lords than the American American or Spanish Civil War.
