If there is ever a civil war. America will never be great again. It is not 1861 anymore. A second American civil war will not play out like the first one did. Just look at every modern day civil war or wars from the far past when empires break up. That is what will happen here.
It will not be the Left wins or the Right wins, and the winner goes on to be the only power in the country. The end result would be the country breaking apart into multiple pieces. Divided we are not a super power. Divided we are at the mercy of other powers and global agendas.
If a civil war happens. We get decades upon decades of chaos and death. Our children dying for a future were America is never great again.
Not being a politician isn't particularly a negative. I'd argue that politicians along with their handlers are what created the mess to begin with.

I remember the Ronald Ray Gun era , he wasn't really a politician either but at least he had experience of politics unlike the apprentice who sits in the big chair now , no matter how I look at it this isn't going to end well for any of us.

Unless someone is going to fund people to get off their collective a$$, no civil war will happen. People love to remind everyone else how ready they are and prepared for civil war, unrest, national meltdown etc but talk is cheap. People out there will demonstrate as is their right to do so and I believe paid agitators will most likely always infiltrate. Portions of violence will almost always happen and I believe it's controlled and how long it goes on for media ratings and further reason eventually to strip away more freedoms. Just my opinion.

That's true to a degree. However, it's the height of arrogance to think the vacuum won't be filled. It won't be immediate, but it'll be filled.

If the US goes down, so does the whole world. US unrest and civil war is an international issue.

Naa, we are fine.
Back in 08-10, we had tea party folks with just as much ferver in opposing Obama as what the left is doing now. This is seemingly the norm now..if your party wins, you wring your hands at how horrible and anti-american the opposite side is, then if your party loses, you feel you need to "save" america from the obvious infiltrators and destroyers of the country that just snuck into the whitehouse.
Its all just a game of nonsense from the extremes, but war...it will be the war only the true nutjobs will show up for if there ever was.
In saying that, I think Milo should go give another speaking at a university in CA soon..but this time, dont hire rent-a-cops for security...hire the Hells Angels. Watch the fireworks

I'd be interested to know why specifically you prefer the Bible to the Qu'ran. In my opinion they are both outdated texts with dangerous ideas

A topic that has interested me of late is the anti war protests of the late 60's and early 70's. Would like to hear from anyone who was a part of that. The "hippies" vs the "patriots". Kent state shooting of protesters. Riots.
No civil war came of that and it makes these times look like Kumbaya.
