Has the New Civil War already started?

[Stinky The Clown]

I'm not saying it has. I am saying it might have.

1. Did the old one ever end?

[democratisphere]

3. NO.

Many, many died. Racism still thrives in America.

[oasis]

4. The confederates of the past were just racist/traitors. Today's Rebs

are racists/traitors AND cowards.

[BlueJac]

5. no kidding

[CottonBear]

9. No. The South just continued on and persisted in its racist ways.

The North should have utterly destroyed and occupied the South.

2. There's been a Civil Cold War for some time now...

...depending on how you want to define it, for a decade, or for a quarter century, or even a half century.

6. It's non-ending and then when you mix in Idiocracy I doubt there's a sensible and

peaceful solution. The US is out of control and sliding deeper each day.

7. The one never ended. I say this as a native, white Southerner.

The question is, who will be the 21st century’s Lincoln?

[Tipperary]

8. I live in the south.

What nonsense.

Every day I see posts here about racists in CA, PA, NY, NJ, WY, ID, OH...just to name a few.

Sick of this crap.

[CottonBear]

11. Oh, there are racists in every part of the country.

I live where people still fly confederate flags.

I have been shot at because I was with a black man.

Racism is pervasive in the country as a whole and is still quite evident in many parts of the South.

10. HOLD ON TIGHT, IT IS GOING TO GET UGLIER.

[Achilleaze]

12. Hold on Bright! It's going to get better, better, better!

13. When treason goes fully un-addressed and/or unpunished....

.... more treason is what one should expect.

What is the risk, what is the danger of perpetrating treason - if you are never made to answer for such a despicable act against one's country and its patriotic minded citizenry - both of which you bring irreparable harm ?

[Skidmore]

14. I categorically refuse to feed RW violent fantasies or use their

rhetoric. We should not engage.
