> Both parties seem to adore violence on their political enemies these days

Let's stop with the both sides are the same bit, m'kay? Plenty to criticize on the left but please stick to facts.




I welcome valid examples that prove me wrong. The concern is legitimate, not hyperbole.

And as far as Civil War goes, I'd posit that it's already begun.


Well I think many of welcome valid sources showing that “most Americans think civil war is on the way.”

If a civil war has “already begun,” I guess I live somewhere else, because I don’t hear any gun shots. Frankly it feels a lot calmer around here than it did a year or two ago.


Just as we're no longer using muskets and cavalry, the method of warfare has changed in other ways. Perhaps meld in aspects of The Cold War as well.

A key change this time is not to split apart, but to simply grab all the marbles and declare the game to be over. I wish I could be sanguine about this and would love to be proven wrong, but it's looking grim.
