Is a Second Civil War Coming?
American Thinker ^ | Jeff Lukens

Posted on 02/28/2019 2:45:58 AM PST by RoosterRedux

The average conservative and the average liberal disagree on the vast majority of the issues, and in the few cases where they can agree, each won't support the other out of sheer tribalism for his side. Since Democrats can't win the argument with reason and facts, they try to intimidate us into silence. While Trump is their focus, we should know that the loathing is really against normal everyday Americans.

The Constitution plays a central role in the disagreement. On the right are those who believe in its use as a restraint on government that can be altered only by a broad consensus through the amendment process. Conservatives believe that natural rights are created by God and that government cannot invent or alter them.

On the Left are those who believe in the living Constitution. This is a notion that the document is outdated and should change easily. The main method for doing this would be judicial rulings bypassing Congress and the voters. Basically, they just make it up as they go along.

The Left's reach is broad. Leftists have been able to take over schools and indoctrinate our young people. They have taken over nearly all the news and entertainment media. The conservative side, conversely, has lost in these areas because it never fights back with the ruthlessness of the Left.

Lawlessness is now reaching across the United States, which the news almost totally ignores. The same networks that spent two years with wall-to-wall coverage to push the Russia collusion hoax are now refusing to report the documented attempt to remove our duly elected president by means of a Deep State silent coup.

If Democrats flame out in 2020 and have their AOC socialism rejected at the ballot box, you will see them go inside their shell like a turtle.....they did this during and after Reagan.

The Democrats were on a high after Johnson and the Great Society programs....they got Nixon and humiliated Ford.

Carter gave them the Deep State with unionization and baseline budgeting.

The election of Reagan stunned them. They tried to get him as well, but he was Teflon. So the Democrats went into their shell in order to hatch their comeback....that came in the form of the Democratic Leadership Council....that created Bill Clinton.

Clinton was just as socialist as anyone today, he just knew how to keep it hidden behind a moderate image.

That is what I expect to happen if the Democrats lose in 2020. They will quiet the outspoken socialists like AOC and try to find an unknown who can portray a more moderate image.

But make no mistake....they will never stop pushing for socialism....the only difference is if the effort is overt or covert....and that is why we must split now.

As far as universities go, stop supporting your alma mater financially, just because the football or basketball team is so great.

Yes, I do not understand conservatives who watch, attend and support college football and other sports. Those programs fund the indoctrination of children into socialists.

Cut university funding off and force them to reform. Then, support online education to destroy brick & mortar schools forever.

I believe what might upset the apple cart will arrive in November 2020. 12 states have now signed on to a compact to eliminate the electoral college. The compact allows the state to award their electoral votes to the winner of the popular vote. Colorado has legislation on the Governors desk to join the compact and he has indicated he will sign.

In this model, the President would be elected by illegal alien voting and ballot harvesting in California and New York.

While this compact is most certainly unconstitutional, the left won’t care and are not likely to accept a Supreme Court decision.

I’d expect the shooting to commence March/April 2021.

There is but a thin veneer separating our civil society from complete chaos. I once read there are 10 trains per day that carry food into New York City. This flow would be simple to disrupt for those determined to do so. How may days would New York remain civil with no food?

Scores can be settled when the President wins re election in 2020. There will need to be examples set and lines drawn. It can’t just be business as usual.

What sort of split do you envision?

“As far as universities go, stop supporting your alma mater financially,”

I agree. However, the real problem is government support and infinite loans to people who should never have attended college in the first place. (Because testing is racist, don’t-ya-know.)

As we type, the Democrat "News" Media, which is 95% Democrat, is attempting to provoke a nuclear war with North Korea.

For our own safety, these people will have to be dealt with.

Whoever controls the resources of the federal government at the time will win.

We have this Democrat state called California that is one law away from making it illegal for Conservatives to run for office. As it stands now you can have two Democrats running for the same office unopposed by a Republican. They legalised vote harvesting and look the other way when illegals vote in order to rid large areas of Conservatives of their representation. So what’s next?

They want to get rid of the electoral college turning this country from a Constitutional Republic into a Democracy. That way a state like California can trample the midwest states that vote Conservative. They can take over Washington and impose a massive tax increase on people and businesses. The economy will tank and we will end up with Socialism.

Constitutional Republic -> Democracy -> Socialist State...

“Support and Defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and Domestic.” That what the oath that everyone in government takes to defend our freedoms. Never forget that. The Washington establishment aided by their cheerleaders in the media and academia want you to.

No one questions that. But how will they be dealt with?

We are talking about the results of numerous generations of socialist/communist indoctrination of colleges and universities, the graduates of which are now tightly ensconced in the news, media and entertainment.

Exactly how do we deal with that problem?

The way the communists see this is that they cannot be dealt with...and the ultimate result will be revolution (i.e., civil war).

They are counting on it.

Shooting begins before March of 2021.
Ballot harvesting, voter fraud and illegals voting is currently in place
Splits are inevitable
The most obvious is California goes its own way. Washington and Oregon willl go with California,
The south seceeds, again, this time it sticks. The red plain states go with the south,, and the south is much much better off. We have the ag, the manufacturing and sane patriots.
Leaving the New England states with nothing but debt and desperation
Im excited too see it. Its way past time

Wait until the Dems actually do get back in to power. I don't think folks have a clue as to what is going to happen.

I can vouch for this firsthand.

“If they show up on my doorstep out in the country, there’s going to be hell to pay.”

The shits of it is their politicians and judges are slowly but surely, state by state, city by city methodically pre-pre-conditioning the battlefield by limiting magazine capacity, banning semi-autos etc. All part of THE PLAN.

The Spanish Civil War will be closer to what lies in store for the U.S. going forward.

Where is the arrest at Berkeley?

Why is Berkeley not accused of harboring a criminal?

Half of Americans, those who believe in the Constitution, are profoundly good.

Those on the Left are profoundly evil.

Spot on.
