Why is America on the Brink of Civil War?
Flopping Aces ^ | 09-17-20 | Vince

Posted on 09/17/2020 9:18:37 AM PDT by Starman417

If you’d have asked me even six months ago what the chances of the United States being on the verge of a civil war I would have said probably under 1%. Today I think that number is much closer to 25% and maybe even higher.

Why is that? Simple. Democrats, media and academia…

I grew up on the Navy base on Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It was a small base but there were a million things to do. Horseback riding, year round sports, a bowling alley, four pools that I can remember, game rooms, gyms, motocross, hiking, scuba diving, surfing, half a dozen outdoor movie theaters – it almost never rained! - karate tournaments and spectacular parades and midways for 4th of July. Cable TV hadn’t reached us and of course the Internet hadn’t been invented, so we spent our time actually doing things… I loved virtually every minute of it, but despite being in something close to nirvana, there were people who hated it and were miserable. We find what we're looking for.

We often get out of life what we are expecting... are you a glass half full or a glass half empty person? This question explains why America is at the brink of civil war.

We look around and see people burning down our cities, destroying public and private property, disrupting life for millions of Americans who are simply trying to go to work, eat their lunch or shop at a mall. We see people chanting “F the Police”, “No justice, No Peace” holding up “Black Lives Matter” signs and calling everyone and anyone who doesn’t agree with them racists. We see in New York, LA and countless other cities thugs shooting cops, beating civilians and feeling entitled to do so the whole time.

How did we get here? Very simple. We’ve had decades of the Democrat / Media / Academia Industrial Complex telling Americans that the country is racist. That Republicans don’t care about the poor. That Christians are homophobic. That whites have privilege. That America is rife with systematic racism. That cops hunt down and kill unarmed innocent black males with impunity. And of course that if you are a person of color you have no control over your life and the system will not allow you to succeed, regardless of the hard work you put in, the education you achieve or the virtuous life you lead. In essence, they have been proffering the notion that not only is the glass half empty... but that the other guy took your glass and poured half your water into his glass and then poisoned what's left in yours.

It is upon this decade’s long backdrop of despicable lies that the same group, along with the Obama holdovers in DOJ, has spent the last four years telling us that Donald Trump is a racist bigot. That Donald Trump was bought and paid for by Russia. That Donald Trump is guilty of abuse of power with respect to Ukraine. That Donald Trump is a power hungry fascist who seeks to make himself king by stealing the election and disenfranchising minority voters.

Of course, none of those things are true. None of them. But that has not stopped the media, academia and the Democrats from shilling each of them, repeatedly. And the result is, you have young people – mostly young, but not all by any stretch – who today see exactly what they have been told to see, exactly what they expect to see. If you are told that you can’t succeed regardless of the life you lead, regardless of the hard work you do, then it’s not unexpected that you would want to tear down the system that has boxed you in.

The fact that all the bile that the Democrats have been spewing for decades is not true is of no consequence. The fact that the media blatantly paints a picture that is demonstrably false 24 hours a day, seven days a week is of no consequence. The fact that leftist hack academics have rewritten American history through the perspective of their 21st century woke lenses, is of no consequence. The only thing that is of consequence is power… Democrat power. Nothing else matters. As such, if burning down cities is the cost of power, so be it. If putting targets on the backs of police is the cost of power, so be it. If undermining the basic elements of common courtesy, politeness and civic order are the cost of power, so be it. If destroying the life's work of shopkeepers and the jobs of workers trying to provide for their families are the cost of power, so be it.

You are assuming the military is on the side of the traditional, free USA and is anti-communist. Are you SURE about your assumption?

Thanks I enjoyed it. Did anyone hear the interview that Douglas Murray did with and Alex Marlow. Here’s an interview with Mr. Murray.

All empires split up eventually. Repeal the 17th amendment and we may have a chance.

Decades of leftist control of academia and the entertainment industry combined with loose immigration got us to this point. The Left is an evil, malignant force that only knows how to destroy and long ago it should have been treated as the enemy to progress that it is.

Will we be issued uniforms so that we can tell who to shoot?

Civil war?

I don’t think so.

This is a very small group of people acting like the tail that wags the dog.

Who are these anarquists and violent demonstrators? they are only about 200-300 people and they get bussed or drive to a target city, they bring VANS with purchased bottles, sticks, fireworks. they bring walkie talkies to coordinate attacks, they bring people with some knowledge of first aid and call them medics, they bring their own filming crews hoping to catch some poor victim defending themselves against their attacks.

They are NOT LOCAL to the city they protest, they go in, take over, perhaps, peaceful demonstrations, they incite a riot and violence and then leave. Then they target the next town.

It is not difficult to arrest 300 people. It is not difficult to get ONE of them to flip and provide information on their organizers and superiors and backers. It is not difficult to arrest the backers and financial supporters as accessories to a crime.

We don’t need Civil War for that.

why? because we cannot coexist with marxists and their insurgency.

Bingo! That is calling a spade a spade, in large part everything else misses the mark.

The International Left, with China notably in the lead, is on the move around the globe. The DNC and its Democrat voters, globalists and sadly RINO's as well, are simply "useful idiots" for the Left.

Many or most of our largest institutions are shot through with Marxists/Maoists; we are an easy target. We have a very capable military but it is subject to civilian/political control and in that regard, we have let our house fall into disorder.

At the moment Trump is sitting on our behalf in what could be called a crooked card game - it appears he holds the strongest hand, but it will be interesting to see if he can pull it off.

(Hence my screen name, selected during the Clinton fiasco.)

Wouldn’t be much of a war - really, the Marines against the college professors? Not hard to guess how that will turn out,...

He who controls the A-10 Warthog ... wins.

You spelled “14th, 17th, and 19th” wrong, didn’t you?

You spelled "Trident missile subs" wrong, didn't you?

Eric Swallows-well, while running for the PRESIDENTIAL nomination of a major party, said out loud, for public consumption, under his own name, that he wanted to nuke his political opponents.

Only two problems.

1) Nukes work on point targets like cities, and Trump voters aren't the ones piled on top of each other in the cities.

2) Trump is President, and he has the briefcase.

Because we aren’t.

The disturbances are fairly small and limited. I know if you are in the middle of it, it doesn’t seem that way.

We will be in a civil war when we see the skirmish line in Kenosha turn into a real skirmish line—and the dead laying in the streets.

Today is the anniversary of Antietam. You think “this” is a civil war? Come with me to Maryland. I will show you what a civil war looks like.

Actually the Civil War started long before that.

Go back to World Trade Center bombing in 1991. THis was clearly an attack by mooslimes. In fact after capture it is documented the person responsible was flying in a helicopter with an FBI agent. The FBI agent looked over at the mooslime and laughed and said it, the WTC, is still standing. The mooslime in cuffs looked at the FBI agent and said something to the effect, for now.

The 1991 WTC bombing is pertinent to the OKC bombing as well as Clinton being in office. Clinton was dealing with a terrorist Sheik named OSama Bin Laden when the OKC bombing occurred. After the OKC bombing occurred, people were quick, and rightly so, accused Islime for the OKC bombing. The Lame Stream Media started out with this narrative but it was quickly squelched by the Clinton Administration. The real culprit was found out not to be a mooslime.

Then when 9-11 happened, the media narrative went from Islime was bad to Islime was hijacked and the culprits were radicals of Islime. It was these events that cemented the events of all LSM marriage with the far left. However, CNN had cemented this marriage when the Clintons were in office. The media has not always been truthful with Americans however, there were few stories that changed journalism forever to be on the left’s side.

The media during the advent of the internet, by 2001 the internet was not even 10 years old at the time, found out what power they did have to control the narrative or even change it. This is widely evidenced on how the media pushed to have “all of islime is bad” to “islime was hijacked by radicals”. Once they found out the power of this that is when the LSM has tried to control the narrativve.

The LSM had an enemy in that individual bloggers and with Youtube, vloggers, as an enemy. Later it became through Congress that Facebook and Twitter were born that are continuing this struggle of controlling the narrative. Thus the Civil War started long before the riots. It started off as an information war during the Information Age.

What started off, modified and adapted did not occur overnight and it will not be taken care of overnight. There are no absolutes, black and white. Information, if not overtly shocking, takes time to disseminate and people to digest and trust. The next part of the Civil War transitioned from information to culture. And that is the stage we are currently in. It is now transitioning from culture to physical violence.

The rise of the Nazis before World War II took years to come fruition. The fall of America’s left will not be overnight.
