The great divide: The civil wars gripping America’s political parties.....

[Mister D]

I'm not exactly sold on the idea of a civil war. The system may be more resilient than we give it credit for but you are all imagining Armageddon instead of car bombs, assassinations and sundry terrorist acts. If you don't think the latter is something that couldn't happen in this atmosphere you're naive.

God you're moronic.

Did you have something to say or did some dumbass let you out of the Hole?

[Captdon]

You: We haven't reached a Civil War mood yet.
Me: How do you know?

After the right mood is set all that is needed is a spark. You don't know. No one does. Once the event that begins the civil war occurs it will be obvious to all that we had reached a civil war mood. Until then no one will know.

That's correct. We already know when it actually did happen.

In a metallic, ductile part, a Crack can form and the part resist rupture for many cycles, yet on each cycle the Crack will grow a little bigger. Eventually the Crack has grown to the size where the remaining intact material can no longer hear the stresses and the part ruptures catastrophically.

This is classic metal fatigue.

The sound metal that us America has been under attack by the Rodents for over a century now. The rupture is imminent.

The same thing can happen with a mind. You're an example of a cracked mind. Mental or metal can be fixed.

[Captdon]

So we should just focus on the Rodents ' permanent desire to re-impose slavery as the dividing force, just as it was in 1860?

Slavery? You really are goofy.

Another angle here is that if a civil war did occur neither the dems or repubs would be part of it. Why? Because neither of them truly represent the average American. And if people ever put their lives on the line for an ideal they will only include or follow true believers. In fact the more upset people get with the political system the more they will realize that the two major gangs have collectively failed us. Polarization will reach it's peak and then realizing the truth is all that's left.
I kind of get how young poor people think the Dems represent them and how young rich people think that the repubs represent them. But I am really shocked at how both have been able to garner support from so much of the middle class that neither comes close to representing. I also don't get how people can continue to support lying rhetoric after the party has failed to carry through on their campaign promises after multiple election cycles in their voting lifetime.

Only a Republican or a Democrat is going to win. That's a fact. You have a better chance reforming one of them than electing someone else.

Civil wars never turn out that way.

Historically that is true, however the level of technology we have now changes a lot of that - communications specifically.

LOL. I will try again. See if I get closer to the approved wording. No intelligent person would ever say, "We will never fight another US Civil War."

Can one peer into the future? Should one believe one can?
