I have seen a lot of comments on Twitter the past few days about how people think we, the United States, will engage in another Civil War. I saw the same thing on Yahoo this morning and have heard general chatter saying things along the same lines. I saw something this morning that said it has already started. And I agree. People are so full of hate.
This country is more divided that ever before. I do not want to get into a big argument about who is right and who is wrong. Although, it is obvious who is wrong. lol.
Just curious what others think about this?
-
It is becoming quite uncivil in the political world of this country right now.
-
One side is pushing this, and it isn't the "right" or "Republicans.
You have to see who is chasing whom out of restaurants, and calling for stalking and screaming without reasonable dialog.
Immigrataion was handled the same way under Obama and Bush. It is only important to the Left for their bigger purpose.
There is no way to look at it other than those trying to split the country for their own purposes. Who is doing that? It is all political, and all about power and votes, not peace and harmony and reasonable diaglog.

It's already started with the people vs. president twitter.
-
I'm ready...bring it on..... :thumbsup:

I don't think they'll be divided long when everyone will be employed instead of sitting around complaining about why they don't have anything. Wise up people, The people who have jobs also have guns so get with it and cherish it because it won't be long before morons vote in a person who taxes the crap out of us again. And they'll sit and complain about that.

The country is already split. People are taking sides. It's like you referenced. A woman is told to leave a restaurant because she supports Trump. Can you imagine the protesting if a Republican had told a woman to leave the establishment because she supported the last president? OR if someone had said a pedophile needed to beat and rape his daughters? But yet these same people say that about President Trump's son? The boy is 12.
Every little thing that happens seems to make national news from neighbor disturbances to big things and then there is a huge debate online and everyone taking sides. Then it gets personal with your inner circle when you take an opposing side as a co-worker.
I have seen other stories just today where someone does something or says something someone doesn't like and some idiot with no job and a video camera on their nice new iPhone and then the video goes viral and people are calling for businesses to be boycotted and trying to ruin this person's life - all because you do not agree with something they said. But if the person with the camera has the same thing happen to them they call it racism. All I know is things can't keep going in the direction they are headed.

Everyone will never be employed. Too many people who want to ride the freebie train. They don't want jobs. They want a free paycheck. And the people with jobs - they go to work during the day and the people who ride the freebie train - they know your schedule. I have a neighbor who has cameras at her house and one pointed at the road. She knows when every person on the road comes or goes.

It is so sad that our country seems to be coming full circle. those who have want to control those who haven't and those who have not want all that those who it work for it to give it up. Sorry to say but so much of it was started in the last 8 years before President Trump took over. BLM is so ingrained in some now that I don't know where it is going to end. But don't really think it will al be very good.

“I suggest a new strategy, R2. Let the wookiee win.”

I certainly hope not that would be awful.

:( Why people do not get along?
Why are they so intolerant?
There has to be a better way!
Let us make "America Great Again".

I thought ant man and Spider-Man were both good in the fight scene.

I haven't seen any talk about a civil war. I agree that the country has a lot of hate but I don't think there is more hate than there used to be. Most of the hatred seems to come from false allegations and a victim mentality. With all of that, I do believe we are headed in a better direction.

You are correct. The last president is who is to blame for all this. But it is to the point now that everyone hates everyone else.

It hasn't been in the news. Not that it would matter. You can't believe anything you see on there anyway. I personally have seen talk online that people think this is where we are headed.
There is def more hate than there use to be. Part of it is the social media. It's like the woman who was kicked out of the Red Hen because she supports Trump then the scum who worked at the Red Hen follow her across the street and harass her there and have people protesting outside that restaurant because she is in there. WHY do you think you have the right to harass someone else because they support Trump and you do not? It is a big argument on Twitter with people attacking each other because of opposing views.
The point is everything little thing that happens gets national attention and everybody starts taking sides. People make their snide comments on social media just to stir the pot.
People who deal with the public think they have the right to not serve someone because they don't agree with who they support politically. That is no different than saying you won't serve someone for being gay, black, hispanic, white, or whatever. And YES it goes in every direction. You just don't hear about it unless it is against certain groups.

A lot of the left are spoiled children. I think so many young liberals spent their formative years under the Obama admin, and under a media who virtually never challenged him, so they view that as the default. Now they're throwing tantrums and calling for hate, violence and even assassinations because for the first time they're being faced with political outcomes they don't like.
Democracy: fair and square if your guy wins, but if the other guy wins it's fascism!

I think people are just fed up. I don't know that it would ever actually be a WAR but people are just fed up and a lot of the Conservatives are starting to fight back. Not in violence but boycotting and other non-violent ways. And it is working.
But it goes deeper because people share stuff on social media then the fight is personal. I have people who have not spoken to me in quite some time because we disagree politically. Their choice not mine. Smh. Oh well. Go to your cry room with your blankie and coloring books and when you feel better come and join the real world again. lol

we don't need to make other countries mad at us to point of starting wars. He needs to put his non knowing self back to his non governmental affairs. Stay with what you know, and running the world isn't it.

Giving your milk money to a bully isn't the answer either. I do not see how people can be so stupid as to think it is okay for other countries to tax the crap out of us to import goods from our countries and we are suppose to import their crap for next to nothing.
Trump isn't trying to RUN the world. But he is trying to make things better between us and other countries.

No nothing!

And a "CIVIL WAR" has nothing to do with other countries. A Civil War is a war within our own country. It doesn't involve anyone else.

Conservatives are the silent majority...we just want to be left alone and let us go about our lives without the Government and whiney Liberal/Socialists telling us what we should do.
Liberals are children of parents who had hippie parents who protested back in the 60's.
I was a kid back in the 60's and what a mess the country was in then until we got some Republicans back in power that lowered the hammer on some of that.
Yes, conservatives are getting tired of the mess that's starting again and like America before WWII, you really don't want to poke at a sleeping giant because eventually he'll wake up and slap you so hard you'll land a mile away... :thumbsup:
-
I think that each one of us is responsible for helping to make this world a better place by seeking to overcome the evil with good.

That is an accurate way to state it. I wasn't alive in the 60s though but have read about how the pot heads stood around staring off in to space protesting every thing in the world.

I agree. But it is going to come down to a fight. You have to many cry babies who want to protest everything and want to let everybody have whatever they want - well unless it is a white Christian then you are told to shut up and go away. Read a post a couple above this - the sleeping bear is fixing to rise.

All I can say is get out and vote. A change is needed sooner rather than later. :peace: :peace: :peace: :peace:

People are being over-dramatic. Some people need to log off Twitter and get out in the real world.

There are power that be that want to keep the People divided and constantly fighting each other... so we never turn our attention to them.

I agree, like gutting Social Security and Medicare (Paul Ryan says they are welfare programs. I thought I had been paying into them since my first job!) while we are distracted with other things. So that the very wealthy get tax breaks that will continue while lower brackets are temporary, because they say money will trickle down. Been proven time and time again it does not.
-
I don't see how there could actually be a civil war because the two polar political opposites and interspersed among all the states. You'd have to get one side to move to one party of the country and the other to another to be able to start up a war I would think.

Funny this topic came up because just day before yesterday I read comments from a Canadian citizen who stated that some Canadians believe we are headed toward a civil war. I am not going to get into the politics of this although some of you have, but I will state that division of opinion has always been here but the civility, bullying, nastiness, righteousness, and intolerance needs to change. Funny thing is, many of such comments come from so-called "Christians" who claim to follow the Golden Rule. Such hypocrisy!

You can thank the internet for the incivility we have today....you have cowards out there who say things to you/about you that they wouldn't dare say to your face because they'd get slapped across the room...keyboard bad a r s e s... :bad:

I don't hate anyone. God doesn't like that stuff. I just wish people would debate issues instead of bad-mouthing and bullying those who don't agree with them. Perhaps we're no longer intelligent enough to do that. After all, that takes time to explore the issues and consider the other person's point of view. :confused1:

Unfortunately, we live in a very divided country right now; hopefully things will get better but our elected leaders seem to make things worst, just not sure where we are headed right now!

Many in this world have the attitude as long as you believe in God and try to be a good person thats enuff!!
Well is it?How did Jesus feel RE the Pharisees?
https://www.jw.org/en/publications/books/jesus/ministry-in-judea/condemn-hypocritical-pharisees/
Yes its even in all your bibles!!
Jesus said in the final days of this satanic system there would be godly devotion but many would prove false to its power. The Pharisees example God used in the bible was to educate Gods true followers what to expect.Sheep in wolves clothing another way to put it.Rotten fruit.The illustrations are timeless warnings.

And your comment is a prime example of what I was talking about. He has done a lot of good since he went in to office. And you make fun of how he looks. But if someone done that to you I guarantee you would cry foul and say they were bullying you.

If Social Security is welfare then they need to stop taking money out of my check every week making me pay in to it. Social Security is NOT welfare.
I am not rich at all. But since the tax cuts went in to effect a few months ago my pay check went up because less taxes are being taken out of my check.

No you wouldn't. Everybody is already fighting with each other. Look at some of the middle eastern countries the whole country is fighting with each other. If you watch you will see it happening more and more. It's like when somebody gets mad at a business and they put crap on social media and the person ends up loosing their business. And the person running their pie hole may not even be telling the truth. Or they are just being stupid and trying to cause problems.

I didn't start this to get in to a political war of words but yes that is exactly where it went which proves what I am saying is true.
The things is use to people disagreed and that was the end of it. Today you disagree and people try to get you fired from your job, make you loose your business, burn your house down when you aren't home or even if you are home, shoot at you, try to run you out of the road, and on and on. It is to where if someone disagrees with you then you think you have the right to physically punish them. It is ridiculous. Or putting stuff on the internet to try to ruin their life.
As for insulting Christians - just because someone says they are a Christian and does something ridiculous doesn't mean they are. Most likely they aren't. And just because a person is a Christian doesn't mean they can't be pushed to the point of being upset or defending themselves.
Honestly, like someone on Twitter said - the civil war is already here. And I tend to agree with that. It's like all the restaurants and businesses who are refusing to serve anyone who supports Trump or Republicans. That's find but the welfare bums can't keep your business afloat. And these same people who scream and protest if a restaurant owner refused to serve them for being a democrat.

If he had good sense, and just stop making other countries the center of controversies and picking fights, starting wars and putting illegal aliens out of this state, we wouldn't be have to start making plans to make shelters in case of mass destruction. Leave those other countries alone.

I don't see a Civil War happening anytime soon. Even divided as we are now, our country just has too many weapons and big military and surveillance that would shut that down. I do think it's sad we're moving into a more divisive time though. We should be coming together more.

He who? This has NOTHING to do with other countries. Do you even know what a Civil War is? And the "ILLEGALS" need to be put out of the country. Everyone who says they need to be able to come and stay needs to be required to take in a family and YOU keep them up yourself. You provide shelter, food, medical, and whatever else they need and you provide it YOURSELF!
Immigrants are welcome here but need to come here legally. Not try to sneak across the boarder and then sign up for welfare.
The thing that is going to start a civil war was started by the last president not the current one. obame has done more to divide this country that any person or group of persons in the history of being a country.

It's already happening in a way. Look at the crap shared on social media. Then everyone takes sides. People have lost their businesses because some idiot gets mad and then slams them on social media or posts a video or picture or whatever. And most times even with a video it doesn't show the whole and true story. It may not be an actual civil war but I think we are going to get more and more divided. People are going to continue to choose sides. People are going to be like before the actual Civil War in the US where this group won't buy from that group. This group won't purchase from that business because a person works there that believes different. So what happens? That person looses their job? People have to have livelihood. I don't condone illegal activity to make money but if you cannot get a job you are going to do whatever you have to in order to survive.

Yeah, I am curious about this one myself!
