7 in 10 Think the USA is on Brink of Civil War

[Centuriator]

“The majority of Americans believe that we are two-thirds of the way to being on the edge of civil war. That to me is a very pessimistic place,” said Mo Elleithee, the executive director of Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service."

"... two-thirds of the way to being on the edge... " So, uh, where exactly does that put us? I'm having problems visualizing this.

 

[sirhrmechanic]

Let me know when it’s time for First Manassas...

have giant bags of popcorn at the ready just in case it does happen and a really comfy fold out chair like for movie night lol a few family packs of hot dogs for roasting over rivers of libtard tears and hip boots to keep me dry .

I think it's possible. It's not probable or likely. Most folks in the US have never had it so good and it will take a lot more than what is happening presently to get people to "throw down" and die/kill for present transgressions.

Besides, it's the fucking Government that needs purged not the citizens. No matter how much I disagree with my neighbors or folks of different political persuasions I'm not wanting to attack them physically. Marching about 2/3rds of The Government up a scaffold is what I see coming.

If it does come to civil war it will be after the Revolution when the US splits into factions/countries and folks fight over "the good stuff" and geographic areas that have more resources to form a self sufficient nation. IMO - but I'm not all that bright so YMMV.

VooDoo

Thats because math is racist! Haven't you heard?

 

[McReef]

"... two-thirds of the way to being on the edge... " So, uh, where exactly does that put us? I'm having problems visualizing this.

Seems pretty clear to me. We are on the verge of being on the verge.

Long story short, once we go over that edge, we will be right on the precipice.

Wait, now I’m confused too...

 

[Maggot]

Those stats sound contrived to me.

That thought is the furthest thing from most people I run into. Theyre too busy chasing the dream and the next paycheck,BMW/beach house, to be concerned. Just the thought of it makes them afraid.

I have never read anything more true than this.

 

[SD Carpenter]

Do you always just post random stuff like this?

 

[TonyTheTiger]

Its that or endless WTS threads.

 

[101stinfantry]

FFFuuuccckkkkkk! Are u kidding me? Most of the people I know wouldn't be able to sleep in the dirt half a night much less what it would take to mount an insurrection. Lol! However, I'm a jaded asshole, so what do I know!

 

[vh20]

Mo is a “Democratic strategist” Fox News contributor. In other words, “It’s Trump’s fault” propaganda.

 

[MadDuner]

Don’t forget that the media plays a HUGE role in all this upheaval and division.....
A purge of their ranks would go a long way also.

 

[Huskydriver]

10 out of 10 Americans think Hillary Clinton was going to win the 2016 presidental election according to CNN too... Polls mean nothing without understanding who and what was asked

 

[wildcats]

I'm a little more pissimistic about this...3-5 years at the most since we are already reaching the precipice.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

5 out of 4 people probably agree with the OP??

Tommorow ask 5 random people who the Vice President is then ask them who is the Secretary of State and for the finally ask them who's in charge of the country should the President and VP die in a plane crash.
If you find one random person to answer 2 if those questions you're lucky.
Then ask the random person who are the Kardashians fucking, who's on Dancing with the Stars and which bitch should be stabbed in the eye on The Wives of the NBA stars. I will wager you will get more correct responses to the second set of questions.

Most of the population is clueless and distracted.

 

[Cheyenne Bodie]

The Civil War was fought between states.

Mass unrest along constituent lines? Maybe. War of the Rebellion pt. 2? Nah.

 

[CSGambill]

Let me know when it’s time for First Manassas...

Sirhr

Don't the little antifa tantrums count? I believe it has started, just more of a slow burn or cold civil war.

 

[Veer_G]

Do you always just post random stuff like this?

You forgot to dramatically include "Discuss:".

 

[SilentStalkr]

So what? Like 1/4 of the nation thinks the earth is flat, 1/8th can’t figure out what gender they are, like 80,000,000 people voted for Hilary, well you get the idea.

 

[101stinfantry]

But it's so difficult............there's what? 63 genders now? I mean, no wonder it takes so much time and thought, no time for civil war, geez.

 

[MadDuner]

I thought there were 90 something?

 

[candyx]

Man I'm glad I brought all that ammo, I knew it wouldn't go to waste.

 

[armorpl8chikn]

9 out of ten people think they are above average drivers too.

 

[TheGerman]

7 out of 10 people think OP will be banned again.

 

[Huskydriver]

10 out of 10 people think OP will be banned again.

FIFY

 

[AIAW]

BUY MORE AMMO!

 

[Aries256]

Like Ive said ever since the antifa retards showed up, we are one taco bell fart away from a cold civil war going hot. No I dont think itll be a walk in the park like some think because the libtards will pull in the cartels from the south and china to do the fighting for them.

 

[FS1]

The other 3 out of 10 are buying ammo.

[Vodoun daVinci]

The US has been at/in a state of cold civil war for at least the last 11 years. Broken into factions, we can't agree on anything, No one will compromise on any front, we allow our Government to "tell" US how it is and be unresponsive to the needs and demands of the electorate with impunity. Unbelievable amounts of cold hard cash is finding it's way into the pockets of our politicians and the suppliers of that cash have demands. The US is being run/owned/operated by global cash being paid out to fleece The People of their personal savings, homes, retirement and college savings so that *trillions* in hard earned savings can be scooped up by global entities who are paying our politicians millions to get billions in return.
Half of Americans can't bend over and tie their shoes, run around the block, pay their bills/balance their accounts, read, write, or discipline their own kids and we think they are gonna start a hot civil war?

Not any time soon...it'll just percolate like it has been - nothing will change - until we have no money for health care/food/clothes/housing and necessities and then we'll have to resort to spitting and throwing rocks at our oppressors because their agenda is to disarm US so that when we are on our knees the coup de grass can be delivered without reasonable resistance.

I think it could happen (it's possible) but it's not likely (it's not probable) until we have been fleeced out of everything by our politicians and The Oligarchy. And then it'll be too late.

if it isn't clear, it could be the 'math-racism'

Civil war two...Redneck vs Manbun. Redneck, lets have at it. Manbun, hold a minute while I do my hair.

If the country every splits, states like West Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Oklahoma, Wyoming, North/South Dakota, Alaska and Kentucky are going to be calling ALL the shots. They have all the natural resources. Id add Florida to the list also. They have a fishing economy. California has fishing too, but not enough to supply themselves if shit went sideways.

The 11 i listed are all red states. We also have the highest population of gun owners in the nation in those 11 states.

I welcome a split. Lets let these liberal baggage states start carrying their own weight. Then we'll see if they want to cut down a tree or drill a hole in the ground.

 

[Inifinty]

9.5 in 10 can't even comprehend the brutal nature of what it is they contemplate or when a physop is being run on them.

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

9.99 out of 10 will just set down an cry when it comes to their door. My guess is their internet persona will still be intact for a few hr's after they find out it's on, or until their perception meets reality for the first time, in their lives

 

[remmynikon.308]

92.5% of all statistics are made up

 

[Bullfrog08]

11 out of 10 people will watch the civil war on CNN while the rest actually fight the war.

 

[SilentStalkr]

This is so stupid. There ain’t going to be no civil war.

Your right,.... as there will be nothing civil about it.

I heard a gate attendant recently say 'we are preparing to pre-board'....made me think of George Carlin. 'What does it mean to pre-board? Do we get on before we get on?'

Sorry. You're not random and using Google is like paying someone to get a better SAT/ ACT scores for a college entrance.

until last year, i was fine with just a 57 year old lever action hunting rifle, a shotgun, and a couple handguns for personal use/protection.
until last year.

 

[TheMammoth]

We are already IN a cold civil war. The left knows it, the far right knows it. It’s just the thick headed gd boomer conservatives who refuse to admit that literally everything that can be done to them IS being done short of sanctioned violence.

milquetoast shit is deplatformed from every possible information outlet DAILY, people are losing their jobs and families over memes, bank accounts shut down, payment processors stealing money and cancelling accounts, red flag laws being enacted in multiple states, defacto state sponsored violence by the far left due to lack of charges ever even being brought.

like what the fuck else has to happen for you people to acknowledge you’re in a civil war that you’re losing... BADLY because you won’t even acknowledge you’re in the middle of it since no one is lining up in rows and shooting each other.

civ nat boomers get thrown in the bog fucking WHEN.

North Carolina has more oil and gas than the Dakota's combined.
Unfortunately that bitch is turning blue

yeah, y’all are leaving some good states out of the list. I’m not sure whether to be excited about that or disappointed.

Be disappointed. They will never allow drilling offshore in NC.
