Do you see the U.S. being headed for a second civil war?

I see to many people who are think it is nothing to be worry about. That they will always be able to speak freely have justice. These are people who never studied history or cared.

This country is full of selfish spoiled citizens. Who will cry only when it effects them personally, caring little for others pain. Never placing blame on themselves but choose to place on any innocent "others".

We I'm afraid are going to get the country we deserve.

Not the one our parents, grandparents fought and sacrificed to leave us.

DickTator Donald is now Pro-Vaccination (according to yahoo news).

I guess the ultra-right will have to leave their ARs in the truck, go in, and get a shot.

He's already said he'd gotten the shot. I saw a video clip where some of his supporters were saying they trusted him and in a neck snapping change of direction said they didn't believe everything he says when the interviewer told them he said been vaccinated. You notice it said he and Bill O'Riley were booed & jeered when they said they've gotten the jab. Bet on many in the cult continuing to take their belief to the grave.

Unrest and trouble. Beyond that very hard to predict. If the right is perceived as committing atrocities, they will be opposed. If the army is perceived as over-violent in reaction, long term guerrilla opposition could ensue. My best guess is a long period of 'troubles,' never getting as bad as our previous civil war, or full-blown civil war as in Spain or Syria, but bad enough. Dueling paramilitaries, death squads, terror, neighborhoods divided with walls and wire, all that fun stuff. How we come out on the other end is anyone's guess.

I'm concerned that too many Americans are oblivious to the existential threat that radical Republicans pose to our democracy.

We've never had a pure democracy in the USA.

The United States, under its Constitution, is a federal, representative, democratic republic. Meaning that we get to vote for people that are supposed to represent us in the decision making.

More or less. Take for example, our votes for President of the USA. It's done by an electoral college. My presidential vote gets tossed out in Kansas, unless I vote for the Republican candidate. It's been that way since Eisenhower was elected.

So off my representatives go to Washington. You think they care about what I think ? I'm working class poor, most likely I'll end up homeless thanks to all this upheaval. Money wins the elections, greases the wheels (and look where the money comes from).

IMHO, Joe Biden has the most integrity of any President since Jimmy Carter.

And he's going to get crushed by circumstances, just like Carter, inflation, etc.

Personally, I think this is the beginning of a new phase of the Biblical Tribulation.

(edit---Ronald Reagan had a lot of integrity, but that show was ran by George H. W. Bush).
