If we wait too long the civil unrest in this country will effectively split the country anyway. It's coming.
The real question is when and how.
A civil war in this modern age would devastate much of the inner cities as cannibals with personal agin as their motivation would use the unrest to take and try for hold large pieces of real estate. The military would be thrown into the unrest and the inherent corruption in government would cause untenable disputes as to method, intention, and eventual goal.
Warlords would pop up and attempt to coalesce into para military forces which would tie up whatever local government was nominally in charge (think Nigeria) and the local population would suffer deprivation and violence unseen since the 1860's.
I don’t think we really want that. Up through 2019 the country was functioning very well despite our differences. Violence, hunger and deprivation are at an all time low given the whole history of mankind. We only imagine things are catastrophic (climate change! A new flu bug!) because all our basic needs are being met and we have to invent things to worry about.
The divide in this country has became cultural. It is not technically about religion but it is about faith and belief as the foundation of culture. One side retains classic belief in the roots of the country (individualism, hard work, nuclear family, suspicion of government) and the other has embraced economic collectivism, identity politics, feminism and a fear of imminent doom from climate change. The divide is about the the way the country is run which affects everybody, it’s about how power should be wielded to achieve which goals.
A man and woman cannot be happily married unless they share basic values and goals. Same with the two sides in America. The basic most important value of the right is to be free to work and profit, and pursue happiness as they see fit. The most important value of the typical leftist is to save the planet, because they’ve been brainwashed into believing we are on the edge of doom. If not climate change, then a pandemic, or overpopulation. Because doom is right around the corner they look to an authority to save them: Government. The elite in government don’t buy the doom lies but they use them to gain power over the whole country.
The liberals in the cities don’t have a problem with this because they feel that controlling the whole country will keep their basic needs met. The producers who are too busy providing for everyone don’t understand why the city dwellers insist on crippling their ability to produce because they don’t see evidence of this imminent doom (the sea levels haven’t risen).
The core belief about reality is different between the left and the right and like a married couple that won’t work. We need a divorce.
But is this really true? Or do most Americans just want to be left alone to work and enjoy life? Whether in the city or not? Many haven’t given it much thought but vote reflexively like their teachers or their friends or family tell them to.
We are being played! The elite WANT us to think we have irreconcilable differences. They want to push the right into violence so they can declare martial law, lock down the country and suspend elections (if they even have to given the cheating they’re planning in 2024].
The Biden admin etc want the right to try civil war. Don’t do it!
