Too many factions. It will be asymmetrical warfare.

An advantage...a BIG advantage...that the “Nationalists” will have is that a good percentage of them will have served in the Armed Forces while the same won’t be true of the Commies.

If armed conflict breaks out I will dub it the “6th English Civil War” There may be more depending on your view of English history.

The first three :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Civil_War
No. 4 was the First English Civil War in America (Revolutionary War)
No. 5 was the Second English Civil War in America (Civil War)
No. 6 if it happens will be the Third English Civil War in America.

No 6 will be fought over the same issues as 1 - 5. which is the basic issue “of Lex Rex” or “Rex Lex”. Will we be ruled by men or by law. Today the administrative state is the unchecked tyrannical Rex intended to break us to the hand of our betters.

I hardly consider defending one self against an advancing horde of statist Antifa to be "growing fiercer" but, well, if the shoe fits...

My parents were from the south, where names like Billy, Tommy, etc., are common, in adults. By the same token, formal names, such as James or Susan are also used, from babyhood through adulthood. When I was growing up, in the north, both the names ending in Y, as well as the more formal names, were considered “hillbillyish”, and in my town, southerners were looked down on. Now that I’m an adult, I don’t care two hoots what anybody thinks about my name, or anyone else’s. It’s said by psychologists, that a person loves to hear his name being spoken, whatever that name may be; denigrating another’s name is petty and biased. I would love it if my sister were alive, and she could hear me speak her name, again.

“When I was a kid we came together as a nation when John F. Kennedy died..”

I was an adult then and remember the phenomenon well. It was a different country then...still America. 9/11 sort of brought us together again for 5 minutes. But something has happened since which I fear is intractable.

I’m not sure how it would play out, to be frank. Only one side has the guns and most of the emotional support (but not the armaments) of the military (that’s our side), and the communists have the globalists and the enemy armies on their side.

You’re a lucky man to have such fond memories of your family. Mine was awful and I left home as a teen to set my own way. As a man I’m blessed with a family I cherish. The odds were against this happening for me and I realize it every day

The Wall Street Journal's a liberal paper - with a ‘sometimes’ conservative op-ed page. The paper should sell the op-ed page as a digital stand alone at a reduced price.

I would buy the 2 page op-ed. I have zero interest in the rest of the paper - the liberal stuff...

Matt Murray should try a little flexibility...

Actually,I’m a woman, and our childhood was pretty rough, but I guess it made me stronger, eventually. But I have a wonderful husband, children and grandchildren. I’m sorry you suffered as a child. It’s rough. But I’m glad you have a good life, now. Ozzie and Harriet probably do exist somewhere out there, but it seems like most people we meet had a less than storybook childhood, unless you’re thinking scary stories. But, “...let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1
FReegards.

Peggy, I hate to break it to you, but we went through a devastating civil war once. There’s precedence...not just in this nation, but in virtually every nation that’s ever existed. I don’t want to see it happen, but one can only compromise so much with people who want your dearest values eradicated from the face of the Earth.
