This is an important topic to talk about. I've mentioned before that not all wars are bloody. I'll post what I wrote at Never Trump Blog next, but I believe Civil War 2.0 started on January 6, 2021. Talk of Civil War has been ramping up since the death of Charlie Kirk a few weeks ago. The Catholic Church was unified until 1054, if memory serves me correctly, then there was a Schism. The bishop of Rome (aka the Pope) tried to excomminicate the bishop of Constantinople, and vice versa. This was the beginning of the Eastern Orthodox Church. There was actually a period when the Papacy was relocated to France, it caused division, and there were three guys claiming to be the Pope! Like I said, this is from memory, but I think the facts are pretty close. The point is that Schisms happen. Large bodies of people split off, and there's no mending their differences. It's my observation and belief that America is in a Civil War. At the very least, it's a Schism which will not be reconciled. There's constant talk about it, and it's not difficult to see that damage has happened beyond repair. In 1987, there was a miniseries called Amerika starring Kris Kristofferson. Aided by the Soviets, the United States is broken up. A new country formed in the Midwest called Heartland. The divisions in Amerika remind me of the blue state/ red state maps we see on a regular basis. Texas National Guards invading Illinois territory? That ought to tell ya' something! Yesterday, I was listening to Tucker Carlson talk about this current American Civil War. I disagree with most of his premises, but I don't disagree that it's happening. The Left doesn't like the Right, and the Right can't stand the Left. I've lost family members over squabbles regarding political policies during these past few years. That was a big deal in the Civil War of the 1860s. It was brother versus brother. I almost let it go, then I came across this video today. It's not just me. This idea is viral. We don't like each other, we don't respect each other, and America will not be a unified nation in spirit ever again. I don't expect this to get too bloody, but there's been a rash of mass shootings these past couple of months. I know there's a lot of people on the sidelines who want no part of it. I tried to stay independent, but it seems to be beyond our smart phones, tablets, and TV screens now. It's on the city streets, and ir's spreading around the world ...
