Is America headed for another Civil War? It's very possible. Here are some things to consider right now....before a civil war would start:
It doesn't matter if the Republicans are the government at the time or if the Democrats are the government at the time.....the scenario would play out similarly either way. Generally the rebel side feels that it has had enough from an overbearing government. Combatants from its fringe element strike first....(a lot of people cheer)....remember.....either party could be in power. The government then must show that it is in control.....and comes down with a heavy hand.....but in the process ratcheting up the stakes. This pushes the rebel side further....and they....encouraged now by the righteousness of their cause.....take the rebellion into genuine warfare. The government now is operating on Marshall Law....mass numbers of people are arrested....and confined who knows where....prisons can't handle this amount of people.
Here's where you and me come in. It's not a 'north/south' thing but more of a 'city/rural' thing this time....and maybe a Bolshevik thing. Half of the population may still be working with some kind of salary....but with only 10% of the stuffs available to purchase....and at a hyper-inflated cost....if your business is not in selling essentials....you are in trouble....nobody is going to want a condo on the beach....or a 56" television....while the other half of the population will have their jobs on at best 'temporary' hold....which could mean four or five years.
There's are no more professional sports teams operating.....if its fall....no NFL...not for years to come if that....if it's summer....no MLB. Those guys making tens of millions a year might as well start looking for something to do once the hostilities end.....and at least sell their mansions at a 'fire sale' price.....for nothing is ever going to be the same.
Before the hostilities began.....the rebels....from whatever party they were from....were beating their breasts......ready to 'get it on'....but....not so much anymore. Food supplies to either the cities or the country are low......electricity and running water is in short supply......and there's no television except that which the government broadcasts.....whatever government that may be....and radio is government content.....no more Rush or Sean or Mark. All the Hollywood people are all of a sudden waking up to realities in life....and no one would care what they say anymore anyway.....if there was any way for them to have their voices heard.....which there wouldn't be. There's no movie for them to work on for a virtual reality fix. There are no 'safe spaces' anywhere. The only people with guaranteed steady employment are the military....and the Congress.
Well that's the 'good' scenario.....that's right....that's only half the story....now for the really 'bad' scenario. Forget your pension check....if they ever come back....and forget your 401k....and CD's....that stuff is going to secured for your benefit. Our government and economy were relatively independent the last time we had a civil war.....not so this time. We have enemies now who will strike from all sides when we are down. When the civil war does end....no matter who 'wins'....(in reality both sides lose)....there will now be a world government.....a 'New World Oder' if you will....and it won't matter which side was the government and which side was the rebels....for we will all be slaves now....under one man.....no courts....no justice......no free speech.....no ownership of property.....(except for those at the top of the new world government)....and no freedom of religion.
Folks....there is a 'right side' and a 'wrong side' today....but that doesn't ameliorate the situation....and even the 'right side' has its problems....for neither side seeks God's wisdom. Both sides in the 1860s thought our Civil War wouldn't last but a few months. We need to understand that in a polarized society such that we have....no election will be the answer.....while either side winning only infuriates the other side more. There is only one answer.....but that usually comes to us only when in the crucible.
I have a question along the lines of the message of this post: I was walking by the radio this afternoon about a quarter after 3 PM....and had the opportunity....so I reached for the power button....and I looked at my watch....Sean Hannity would be on....for a moment I asked myself....as I've done dozens of times before over the past two years....why listen to him....it's two years into this mess and he will be talking about FISA warrants and the dossier....but I pushed that button anyway....and Sean is talking about....FISA warrants and the dossier! How can this be if President Trump himself....the most powerful man in the entire world....had not commissioned......(folks when you sit in that Oval Office something must happen to you....how else could hard core generals and Steve Bannon and John Bolton sit quietly in meetings with Jared Kushner and not ask why he is there)....commissioned Sean....as one of his top three generals.....to talk for as long it takes on the witch hunt.....and the FISA warrants.....and the fake dossier....that's his orders? Rush has his own orders....as does Mark....but back to the 'witch hunt'....(a phrase of which President Trump has tweeted at least once every week....and sometimes five and six times a week)....why....what's the purpose....the info is good....we needed the info....many of these folks are criminals....but every day for two years? Why? The Mueller probe is not going to be erased! Legal or illegal....it's going to come out. So why? Yes the conversation....(but it's not really a conversation....it's scripted diatribe)....does keep all of the heat off of President Trump....and controls the narrative away from his abandoning of his conservative base....but it also just stirs up the crowd more and more. It's not motivating them....they don't need motivated...it just builds on the anger. It gets more bazaar as Sean complains....and I mean he does so with righteous indignation....that other networks ignore or hide stories that would be negative to their candidates....when we do exactly the same thing with Donald Trump! What has happened to our honesty?
