Why is America on the Brink of Civil War?

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 make a good case. I can find no weaknesses in your arguments.

Well-done!

Civil wars occur when the population loses faith that the institutions of government are working for them.

It's not the riots, it's the lack of mayors allowing law enforcement to stop them.

It's not the courts, it's the lack of equal justice coming from the courts towards protected classes of people.

It's not the virus, it's the lack of governors making non-partisan decisions regarding schools, restaurants, and entertainment.

It's not Congress, it's the lack of willingness to make compromises that benefit both sides.

It's not the media... well, yeah, it IS the media.

Anarchists belong in body bags and not on the streets. As long as we tolerate them as protesters and not as the criminals that they are, we have a warring society aka civil war.

YOU CANT FUND CW~II WITH EBT CARDS and SATURDAY NIGHT SPECIALS. And you have to leave Philly and Chicago to come and get me!

I have real life “exceptional” credit. Legit savings in more than one real bank and have been buying guns and reloading my own ammo for over 25 years.

I accept your challenge!

Because the De.ocrat Party will.accept nothing less than total control. One Prty Rule is its goal. They openly admire Red China.

Partner, the DemonRat Communist Party wants the Communist party to rule the U.S.A.

We do not want this to happen.

There are outside forces wanting the U.S.A. to become a Communist country.

We want freedom.

LOL! Glad you’re back!

Because for Decades, Good Men were told to sit on their hands rather then enacting violence against the Socialist idiots now out in the streets rioting and threatening more of the same...

This "let the system handle it" only works when BOTH sides follow the system. The Left hasn't since the 60's in ever increasing amounts...

Now we've "lost" the Culture War and are actually losing real ground held by ENEMY COMBATANTS.

So... Yes... We're on the brink of another full on shooting and dying Civil War...

... And yes... I also know that for DECADES even talking about using violence openly has been castigated, censored, and even reviled...

How's that working out for us?

Mostly because of bloggers excerpting their own material.

Is that what you read on the restroom walls at Dollar General?

The counter to your quibble:

From the view of the left, the Right is already in power and already rules over the left. So from their point of view, the Right is controlling all aspects of their life and that is what they want to overturn.
