If America Goes Socialist, Is Civil War Inevitable?

“In Defense of Rural America”
“In the middle of the nineteenth century, the United States embarked on a new relationship with death, entering into a civil war that proved bloodier than any other conflict in American history, a war that would presage the slaughter of World War 1’s Western Front and the global carnage of the twentieth century.”  —Drew Gilpin Faust, Contemporary historian

"The warning from Mr. Faust should tell us that embarking on a civil war, no matter how wide is the gap between us, should be avoided at all costs. Those that are calling or yearning for a civil war and oiling up their guns have conveniently forgotten our bloody and savage history.  But what is the answer when are differences slowly but surely evolve into animus and rising violence, as they are now?
"Democrats are vehemently opposed to anything conservative and are employing all the dirty tricks they can invent to stop a conservative movement under Trump. Some Democrats are calling for open violence against conservatives, or impeachment of President Trump even though the President has done nothing that would warrant impeachment.
"Republicans take opposition with anything that falls under the Progressive banner.
"Blacks and Latinos take aim at Whites.  Whites aren’t very fond of Black and Latino intransigence, or the Black Lives Matter movement.
Mention the words abortion or gay rights, or gay marriage and the battle lines form quickly.
"Nominate a conservative Supreme Court justice and liberal fear mongers fill the airways.
"Oppose open borders and illegal immigration and you are called a racist. Follow immigration law by the border patrol and ICE, then detain and deport illegal aliens and the human rats come out from behind the garbage dump to protest a legal government policy, not because they care about illegal aliens, but because they want to tear down President Trump.
"Implement a travel ban on immigrants from Muslim countries for national security reasons and Democrats become apoplectic and go straight to U. S. District Court to challenge it, even though the President has constitutional authority to impose such a travel band, no matter who is president." . . .
Democrats want to repeal the Electoral College thereby turning America into mob city rule.  If they are successful the 15 most populated states will rule America from a socialist platform.
For many older Americans, the memory of leftists cheering for the Communists of North Vietnam to defeat America and even for the more recent praising of the murderous dictator of North Korea has left a deep wound. TD
