As of the November elections, the nation is at war. It’s a 21st-century war, so it’s very different. Because it’s new, the scope and magnitude aren’t easily understood. It hasn’t been declared. It may never be. Hence, for many millions of Americans, perceptions are clouded or lagging. In human affairs, with change, this often occurs.
It’s the second American civil war, and its origins predate the November elections fraud, which seems on track to steal the presidency from the rightful winner, Donald J. Trump. The genesis of this civil war is the ideo-cultural war that has waxed and waned

Another guy who says we can get it back in 2022. Stolen, fraudulent elections. Craven cowardly Republicans. More believe in the system nonsense spoiling an otherwise good piece.

I do not get the same sense from this article as poster #1. It reads to me like he is convinced that there will be a violent Civil War at some point in the near future.
In 2016, I thought that the American voters were choosing between who would be our dictator going forward. Trump's failure to seize power as a dictator is why we are now in the situation where it looks like Joe Biden will become America's first dictator.

The writer is unduly optimistic. Americans will adjust adjust to the new order as they have to face diapers. It may look like your grandfather’s America, but it no longer is.

Actually, we are at war with China. The democrats are allies of China. The shooting hasn't started yet, but all the precursors are falling in place.
The China virus, cyber warfare, election interference and fraud, suppression of Constitutional freedoms, propaganda and misinformation/lies from the political media, violence on the part of the democrat base, and all the rest. When will it come to a head?

I know way too many Trump supporters who are bummed but don't see the implications of this theft. It's like I'm the crazy guy on the street corner.

Those who aren’t blind can see that COVID has been used as a tactic against America. We know we are in a battle to sustain liberty and God in our Republic. Patriots might lose the war but we are confident that our fight is noble. The first American Revolution was not fought by the majority of citizens but with relatively few. Indifference, deceit and propaganda were rampant then as they are now. Those who didn’t fight either were beneficiaries of Great Britain’s presence or were indifferent so it wasn’t a numbers game but a game of will. So it is in our time.
Americans are not naturally warlike or bloodthirsty but if we are to win our enemies will, in all likelihood, force our hands. Are we up to the challenge? Because a physical battle of terrifying proportions looks like it’s coming if we resist. And we know the names of our countrymen who are to blame.

The Democrat Party socialists are trying to take over this country with the funding and support of the Chinese, Russian, and European socialists. It is a revolution, not a cake and cookies gentlemen's election. We have to understand the Democrats will stop at nothing including removing us from the living.

There is nothing phony about this war. The shooting has not yet begun but that's only because people want to exhaust all of the other potential fixes before going to the ultimate fix-all. America's mess did not begin with Donald Trump, it began in the last half of the 20th century with our surrender in Vietnam, the war on Poverty, Foreign Aid, the war on Drugs, Affirmative Action, Women's Lib, the takeover of our public schools and universities by screwballs with LSD hangovers, the Nanny State of overreach in safety, the sissification of Real Men, Hope 'n Change, the positioning of blacks on the Sacred Cow list, the incredible and unsustainable growth of government and the national debt, the transfer of our business and technology to China. Everything from John F. Kennedy on has gone in the wrong direction. Will one big blowup fix it? Maybe, maybe not, but we know the path we are on now and are ready to take one less traveled.

The coup has been planned since President Wison's regime, it was furthered by FDR's regime. Obama pushed it further than Wilson or FDR ever dreamed. Hillary's loss enabled the reconstruction of how to accomplish the coup through a vote. The machines supported by liberals counting was the key. The pandemic was a good time to introduce the mail-in vote for a sure bet to get a socialist democrat in office, no matter the mental stability of the candidate. The coup was successful.

#9, the shooting stared with Scalise. And several more this year. But except for self-defense, by Rittenhouse, it has only been one side doing the shooting. Too many 'patriots' have kept their head in the sand, or are too cowardly to see things for what they are, which is probably what #5 is seeing in their acquaintances.
