Fintan O'Toole: Americans need to stop fantasizing about a coming civil war

That'd be one man's opinion. In truth, the country is already at war with itself. The media is causing it. Soon enough, the only choice left to a lot of us will be to submit to the Left and their media OR begin to refuse to obey them or their edicts from DC, regardless of the legislative process. Screw them. They can't imprison millions of refusers. How far that resistance is taken depends entirely on their willingness to use force to compel our obedience.

Nobody intelligent enough to understand the horrors of war wants a war. But anyone who's read a history book knows we're following all the parallels.

Well we don’t have to have a war, just a divorce. Let the blue states go and form their own little Bolshevik Nation. Then we can all watch and laugh as they instantly collapse.

There won't be any "Civil" War. We are going to see more of the Jan6 crap though. And the more it happens, the more the authorities are going to start shooting to kill. While the Federal Military are barred from going against US Citizens, they are NOT against going against domestic Terrorists and that is exactly what would try such a stupid thing. Taking arms against the Duly Elected Federal Government or State means you pretty well forfeited your citizenship. You are no longer protected by the Constitution nor the UCMJ.

Who would be on sides in a "civil war"?
Does it depend on which party is in the Whitehouse?
Will it start out as militias vs antifa?
I'm not seeing a white v black "race war", but the political extremes fighting each other.

Thoughts? The MSDNC just promoting more government control? Gun control? The FBI clamping down on militias?

Then when Republicans control the government, they squash wokeness and Leftists?
