    One of the reasons it is so unlikely is that the country is divided ideologically, but not geographically. There is no "Mason Dixon Line". Left and Right live next door to each other in every city and town in the country. The reality is that despite political differences, most of them are friends who interact every day. The extremists who would want violence over their political differences are really few and if they weren't so loud and given so much press, could be easily ignored.

    I can look at my own circumstances. Where I am, a Conservative is definitely a political minority, but I know this... if one of my Leftist friends or neighbors was threatened with harm by someone on the Right, I would be standing watch on their house to make sure it didn't happen and I am certain the opposite is also true. If I were threatened for my political views, they would come to my aid (although I would probably tell them to go home and let me handle it).

    That is the way it is across the country. there may be some violence at some point. There already has been. There won't be a "civil war".
    Who's going to fight this war? Today's young would dessert in a week if you simply cut off their internet and or power. Although if these kids ever figure out how screwed, used and manipulated they have been by the Donkephant has a whole and the left wing currently controlling the media and universities specifically.
    That might piss them off enough to show up at some career politicians homes demanding some of their money back.

    The left can talk the talk. But they can't even stumble the walk.

    When I listen to Democrat members of the House and Senate, the question that always comes to mind is "Do Democrats have some kind of affirmative action policy for drooling idiot politicians that forces them to elect these people?"

    I mean really. Hirono, Hank Johnson, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Swalwell, Schiff, Nadler... the list goes on and on. It is like Democrats deliberately seek out mental deficients to represent them in Congress.

    I skipped this cartoon when posting Political Cartoons and Memes this morning but it seems to fit:
