That carpetbagging squatter in the Governor's Mansion needs to take a really long walk off of a really short pier. Preferably, an oceanfront pier. During the next hurricane.
As far as a 2nd civil war; well, not counting Bacon's Rebellion, we haven't had the first one, yet.
While I won't go as far as to say that a civil war is inevitable, it wouldn't surprise me if it happened, either.
The far left is becoming increasingly polarized and more violent. Eventually, something is likely to break. It's not really the "safe-space snowflakes" that concern me. They'll limp home as soon as they stub a toe. Or, sneak off for another bong hit in the safe room, where they can meditate with their teddy bear and fuzzy blanket.
I am concerned about them co-opting gangs, though. The violent gangs already operate as mini-dictatorships, so they've got a hierarchy already in place, along with the weaponry to do some real damage. I suspect that we've already seen them sneak in (or, just as likely, invited in) to some riots.... sorry, "peaceful protests", and just didn't realize it. And, I can see gang leaders temporarily putting their differences aside, if they all believe that they will come out with more power. They may all plan on a later betrayal, but I think that they'd be inclined to work together for the purpose of tearing down Whitey's country, and making it their own. And they'll gladly use some stupid, bleeding heart, liberal whitey's to their advantage. Just because one is barbaric, that does not make them inherently stupid. Ignorant, perhaps. But not necessarily stupid.
Oh...interesting times... we'll see what happens.
