Is America heading to a civil war. Apparently many people think so. See Rasmussen Reports poll. What do you think?

"Most voters fear that political violence is coming from opponents of the president’s policies, just as they did in the second year of Barack Obama’s presidency, and nearly one-in-three think a civil war is next.

Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters say it’s likely that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, with 11% who say it’s Very Likely. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% consider a second civil war unlikely, but that includes only 29% who say it’s Not At All Likely. (To see survey question wording, click here.)"

yes, for sure. but i think it'll be a civil war of race and maybe 10-15 years away. a number of black web sites are warning their followers against pushing white people until their backs are up to the wall. and i agree. i haven't seen racial tension this bad since the 60's. it was a scary time then.

 

[thousm]

I am not concerned about open battles but bombings and shootings like we had in the 60s and 70s.

There will not be a civil war.

I could see a small group of what will be called "terrorists" maybe putting bombs, but with the U.S government resources they will get destroyed pretty fast.

These things need backing from states or people with a lot of money and influence (for example, the Revolutionary War). Everyone is making too much money to get involved in this crap.

Remember that a lot of people saying this sort of crap just say it for attention. No one is going to read something that says "The country is fine, there wont be a civil war". You need to contradict something to get exposure.

 

[radioman]

There will be riots in the cities. They’ll burn their homes and businesses to the ground
as usual and this time suburbia will not rebuild it for them. Then we’ll see what happens?
1000’s of city dwellers homeless? Then maybe we’ll see some crap go down as the city
people look to the suburbs for relief. Tic Tok baby!

Now imagine the country in a depression, where people are losing their jobs and no longer have too much money to get involved.

A depression would also put the FSA's flood of handouts at risk, and if you have millions of pissed off deadbeats, there's your army.

Yup, and uncle Vlad will sell his favorite Maybach to see instability in the US - he will likely finance anything needed by radical groups.

That is a possibility.

 

[Waher]

I don't think we will see states' national guard units duking it out with the feds, but I fully expect a civil insurrection given the level of #resist shown by .gov employees and the usual circus of radical groups on and off campuses. Think of what Teddy Roosevelt had to deal with in terms of anarchist groups committing terror and international socialist movements fermenting riots in the awful working conditions of factories filled with immigrant groups at odds with each other. 1890-1910 style political and economic instability.

 

[Koolmoose]

Polarizing issues continue to grow. Eventually there will be a flash point that will ignite the left. Not sure what that will be but if the Trump Derangement continues to increase, new conservative Supreme Court judges coming with some reversal of social welfare law judgments, and a second Trump term it’s more likely coming than not.

The left is playing a dangerous game.
Good thing for them (and the country) that those of us on the right have remained calm and rational while they continue to throw their collective temper tantrum.
But they should be reminded that they can only poke the bear so many times before he bites them.
If they want to start a war, they're going to lose, because we're the ones with all the guns.
While they foolishly spent their time trying to disarm everyone, we didn't buy their BS and stood up for our 2A rights while they vilified us. If someone presses the "GO Time" button, those of us on the right will be prepared.

I agree. If anything resembling a civil war starts, it will require severe economic collapse. You need the division we see now so there is an enemy to blame and you need everyone to be really hurting economically. Right now most are living very well. Even those on the gov dole who are getting that free stuff from those that work. If all that goes away, and divided we stay, well there is your "war".

 

[AverageJoe]

No civil war. There may be leftist paid, astroturfed riots and uprisings, but the goal of the sponsors is just bigger government, more police powers. And the destruction of the 2A and what’s left of the Bill of Rights.

 

[Matt-CZ]

Civil war? I don't see it happening. I could see politics getting more violent like back in the 60's, but I wouldn't consider that civil war.

 

[Tim_McD]

*yawn*....more pants-pissing clickbait by a polling outfit to drive traffic and sell product. It comes around every couple of years, usually when someone with an agenda hires a legit polling company to throw out a skewed and wildly inflammatory public opinion poll.

They know that amongst the vocal minorities on each side of the political spectrum there shall be much rending of garments, weeping and gnashing of teeth...while the majority of Americans, who are not enrolled in either major political party, go on about their lives mostly ignoring the hyperbole generated by the MSM, ea political party and a few general a**h***s out causing trouble

So no, there will not be a civil war and outside a few pockets of moonbattery there will not be widespread civil unrest. Same as it ever was; a couple of marches that look like a BFD on TV, some shitheads f***ing up things here and there and the rest of us chug along

 

[Ink]

no. the indoctrination and behavioral conditioning is 100% complete.

 

[Daddy Mac]

Speak softly and carry a big stick. Sounds reasonable to me.

 

[1903Collector]

Meh, probably not but hey, good reason to buy more ammo.

So, as many people think it's "likely" as think "no way." Sounds legit.

 

[Paul455]

I think the reason for a lot of the dissent and diviison lies in the fact that the number of media outlets has risen exponentially.

The competition for views, ears and clicks is fierce, so sensationalizing everything to drive demand is the name of the game.

Take NESN weather....they over sensationalize everything, especially funnel clouds and thunderstorms. Why?

Because they are competing with dozens of weather outlets.

Add in the internet, and you have millions of data points coming in....and most of it less than accurate.

This is a big reason for whipping up the masses.....money and exposure.

 

[Uzi2]

Civil War? Unknown if it will happen but lots of indicators are pointing in that direction.

The question to be asked of yourself is: If it were to happen, two years from now, one year from now, next month, next week, tomorrow,,,,,are you as prepared as you can be? If your answer to that question is no, you might think about working on that....diligently.

 

[thousm]

I don't see a civil war. An organized fight of opposing forces. But I do see the possibility of civil unrest. Local attacks and possibly bombings. I think it is possible these anti Trump, anti capitalists protests could turn violent. Hope not. Will not effect most Americans or people on this page.

Aren't we in a "Cold" Civil War already...?

If it indeed does happen, even in the ways you opined on, it will effect everyone in the country.

Local attacks and bombings effect the entire country because nobody knows where the next one might be. Local where? Every place is "local" to someone.

How far will the loony left push their "civil unrest" ?? When property destruction starts, when people's ability to travel freely in their communities is threatened by riotous, unhinged democrats, when good people become fearful that their home might be the next one burned.....THATS EFFECT!!

The left is pushing their messages of violence further and further almost daily. The time will come when rooftop target practice will be organized by those who will not stand by idle and let the leftists take their society over.

Im going with this as well. People are too fat, happy and stupid for a true civil war. Leftists groups or individuals using terror tactics followed by right wing groups or individuals doing the same I can see. Too many people have full bellies and are more worried about getting a paycheck and watching the Pats on Sunday to support any type of full blown insurgency.That type of thing needs the support of the population to survive long enough to achieve its goals. Otherwise theyre just like mosquitoes living on borrowed time until theyre inevitably swatted.

 

[snax]

According to some people I've met from the south, the first Civil War is still going on... In their minds at least.

If there is some kind of true economic catastrophe beyond a garden variety recession or depression even, then things may deteriorate to that point.

 

[mac1911]

i dont see a WAR anytime soon , problem is who is the gov/mil going to side with or will it be a gov vs citizen battle.
In any event if a "war" does happen will there be a winner.

Even if there was a team fighting for the constitutional republic and a team fighting for communism/socialism what happens one side wins over the other.
Who decides who gets what rights if the anti republic win and the republic still ends up paying for the loosers if the republic wins.
What i do see happening if it gets bad is some serious population control.
