It feels like America is more divided than it has ever been. On a government level, on a state level, even within cities, we’re politically, religiously, and ideologically divided. Is the US on course for a second Civil War?
How this could happen – and how you can prepare for it and survive it if it does. Ideological differences are tearing this country apart… what will it look like if this spills over into widespread violence?
How to prepare for and survive a civil war in America
Definition of Shakedown: A radical change or restructuring, particularly in a hierarchical organization or group.
When ideological differences turn into hatred and compromise is dead…WAR
Many of you in the general public can feel the escalation in conflicting ideologies in this country. There is a schism between conservatives and liberals that isn’t getting any smaller, and it’s manifesting itself across all aspects of life. This ideological divide has been drawn across not just political lines – these lines are cultural, religious, behavioral… and they’re at a fever pitch. These ideological conflicts could cause a complete breakdown of government at some point – which would likely lead to either civil war or a fundamental restructuring of the country.
Not to mention that there are clearly foreign agents and influences at work here. Whether it’s America’s old foe in Russia or its new adversary in China… The bad actors from America’s rivals are salivating, spreading hate and discord both online and on our shores, hoping to open up a rift so large that America will never recover from it.
American Shakedown
It’s possible that you’ll wake up one morning to find the country that you lived in is gone. The news media on both sides profit directly from tension and eventually this tension will reach a breaking point. That breaking point might also mean the breakup of this country. Division is profitable after all. For more than two decades now the media and technology have been used to tear this country into two – along financial, racial, ideological, political, and religious lines – and we might be nearing the breaking point right now.
A Lesson From History
The death throes of the U.S.S.R.
The Soviet Union split up after a losing effort in the proxy war in Afghanistan. American military and economy strategy pressured the Soviet Union to a point where their economy became completely uncompetitive which left their citizens hungry and wanting more. And then…
The Crumbling Of The Soviet Union
The failure in Afghanistan destroyed the morale of both the leadership and the people of the Soviet Union, and cost them too much to recover from. Calls for independence in Poland, East Germany, and other Soviet states shifted the landscape of political power almost overnight, and the USSR was eroded from the inside out and collapsed. The most shocking thing about this is that very few people saw it coming (at least as quickly as it did).
America Divided … And What Could Happen
So – if America collapsed from within.. What would it look like?
A Peaceful Separation?
The “ideal” scenario would be if it were a peaceful split – the West and East Coasts would each split off as their own entities, and the South and Midwest might choose to form one larger nation-state or also split into two. America as we know it could be divided reasonably easy into four independent entities each with their own political, economic, and social philosophies. It would be complex to divide up the “assets” and “liabilities” in a way that all the new entities would agree to – but it’s doable. Again, in this situation, a peaceful transition would be ideal. Ideally, there would be at least an initial period of free travel between this entities – more conservative folks uncomfortable with living in a more progressive environment could migrate, and vice versa.
A Country Divided
However, given the tensions that currently exist in this country, it’s possible that things will no go so smoothly. Which of these entities would the military support? While it’s true that on average, members of the military tend to be conservative leaning, it’s doubtful that soldiers will want to give up their family and friends in their own home regions – so the military will likely be divided just like the rest of America. Could open civil war break out? Or would it be like a cold war, with each border heavily guarded by soldiers of each side, like the border between the two Koreas or the border that existed in Germany where the Berlin wall once was?
If it’s open hostilities, then nobody is safe. A genuine second civil war in America could have a huge death toll. The use of nuclear weapons would be highly unlikely, as the effects of the radiation alone would be unpredictable and could backfire onto each new country’s own citizens. So we’re talking about a war of conventional weapons.
Don’t forget, the original civil war was a devastating one, but the weapons they used were trivial compared to the weapons we have these days. Who knows what the death toll of a new civil war would be?
How to Survive A Civil War in America
So, what do you do if you’re caught in the middle of all this. What if you’re just a regular family, living your life, and the country is getting torn apart around you? The truth is, the vast majority of us are somewhere in the middle – we might not agree with the far left nor the far right. We just want to be able to food on the table for our families and lead “normal” lives.
How do everyday people keep their families safe from war in our own backyards?
The very first thing to do is to be prepared. Preparation is absolutely key to any proper survival plan. What does prepping mean in this context?
Stockpiling Resources to Ride Out a Civil War
It’s always true that supplies can’t hurt. Food, water, and medical supplies. Start stockpiling now. If you’re starting from zero here, I highly recommend you look into this Stockpiling Challenge. It’ll get you up and going with a decent stockpile quickly – and save you a ton of money in the process.
If you decide to try the Stockpiling Challenge, you’ll learn the following:
- How to carefully spend every penny so you save at least 40% than what most uninformed people pay for survival food. You can start with a budget of $10 per person per week and never have to increase that budget for the entire duration of the challenge…
- How to harvest and store an unlimited amount of FREE (yes, I said “free”) water. Plus, I’ll show you how to hook up this “secret spring” to your pipes right now to cut your water bill in half starting today… I assure you this is something even a 12 year old can put together.
- How to fight the 5 food storage enemies: light, humidity, temperature, oxygen and pests. There are simple things you can do to keep each of them off your stash. If you don’t, you might wake up with algae and bacteria inside your water, moths inside your food or even with all of it eaten by mice and critters.

If you want to stock up without any guidance, I’d recommend you at least read our article about the best survival food to stockpile. Also, if you want to jumpstart your supplies of food, getting a few freeze dried survival food kits is a good idea. We recommend the best survival food kits here.
The first 72 hours after a disaster are the most critical for survival. Enter your email below to get a checklist of essential items you need in your 72 hour emergency get home bag…
As for other supplies – for water, unless you’re literally caught in the middle of the fighting, your tap will likely still work, so you’ll still have access to water – but the quality of the water might be compromised. This may be because your local water processing plant has stopped, or perhaps chemicals and toxins are leaking into the water supply from broken pipes and other damaged infrastructure.
For this reason, you’ll want to stock up on water filters or install a water filtration system (or learn to build emergency water distillers). It’s also not a bad idea to buy bottled water in bulk – store brand is fine. This is just your emergency water ration in case things really get bad.
Next is medicine and first aid. If you’re living in what is basically a warzone, you’ll definitely want a decent supply of first aid supplies on hand. See our article about the best first aid kits for survival as a starting point. You’ll also want a stockpile of medicine – whatever prescriptions you or your family members have, ideally you’ll find a way to get at least a months worth of supply of those in addition to your regular prescription. How you do that is up to you – but a civil war will definitely disrupt the supply chain, so any essential medications that you or your family rely on should definitely be stockpiled if it’s at all possible.
Fortify Your Home
A second civil war in America won’t be like any other war you can think of. It won’t be life as normal at home while the troops fight the enemy overseas. This isn’t going to be like Vietnam or Korea, or even WW2. A civil war means fighting all across the country as new factions vie for resources, territory, and leverage for future negotiations. This will have knock-on effects on every aspect of everyday life. Almost all goods, including food, will be scarcer and more expensive. Luxuries will disappear. People will go hungry and crime will be rampant as each faction in the civil war devotes resources towards winning and away from everything else, including law enforcement.
So – not only will resources be scarce (which is why you need to start stockpiling now) – you also need to figure out how you’ll keep your family safe from looters, criminals, deserters and so on… Which means you’ll need to figure out how to better safe guard your home.
Normally, we’d recommend things like security cameras, alarms, and so forth. (To see the kind of recommendations we usually make for home security, check out our article on what to do in a home invasion). However, in a civil war situation, we anticipate that law enforcement will be stretched to their limits, not to mention that some areas might be completely lawless if they’re in contested territories. So what to do?
You need to go a step beyond typical home security and make your home bulletproof.
What makes a home “bulletproof”?
These are ideas that work to defend your home in a situation where “normal life” has gone out the window. For example:
- Do you know why you should never put a tall fence around your house?
- Do you know why placing your stockpile in the basement is a bad idea?
- Do you know why loud security alarms are a bad idea?
This guide (put together by a former US Army Officer with experience in Egypt and Syria) will lay out why home defense in times of peace and in times of war are completely different… and how you should be preparing for a potential civil war.

Gather Barter Commodities
If there is a second civil war in America, you can pretty much say good bye to the economy. The US dollar will likely lose almost all of its value (why would it have value if the USA as a country no longer existed?). That means your savings account, your retirement – none of that will mean very much.
What you want in situations of extreme economic change are barter-able commodities. Useful things that people need, or things that people have valued since the beginning of time.
Your food, water, and first aid supplies might come into play here – other people won’t have prepared as well as you have, and you might be able to trade favorably if you’ve done a good job with your stockpile.
Beyond that though, you should also be thinking about collecting long term commodity goods that are useful. Basic things like fuel – charcoal or gas would likely be extremely valuable in this civil war scenario (charcoal double so because activated charcoal is a super effective water filtration material). Ammunition and weapons will also be highly valued, although you’d have to be careful that they don’t get confiscated by the military to serve the “war effort”.
Basics like salt, pepper, and other spices would likely be highly sought after as well, as well as scrap metal which could be recycled into useful tools for a new kind of life. Luxuries, like alcohol and cigarettes would also be desired by many people (who wouldn’t want a good bottle of scotch or bourbon if the world was literally collapsing around them?)
Then there are precious metals and gold. These are good things to have if you can afford them. The thing about precious metals, gems, and so forth is that when times are at their worst, they won’t seem that valuable – gold is meaningless to you if you have a starving family or a sick child. On the other hand once things have calmed down a bit the economy will take many years to recover – that’s when things like “survival” gold and silver, precious gems and precious metals will be valued at their highest. If you have the patience (and the cleverness to know how to conceal your wealth), with some planning you could come out the other end of this “second civil war” a truly wealthy man if you played your cards right.
The 5 Worst Places To Be If / When America Splits Up
Big Cities
Cities are by their nature dependent on large institutions. One very clear example is food – there is no agriculture in New York City or Los Angeles. They inevitably get their food from other more rural areas. Their populations tend to be liberal-Progressive and will be hostile to the conservatives of all stripes, including Christians from the heartland. How will people react when there’s a food shortage and a couple of million people to feed? Suddenly, the progressive ideas of sharing with others and giving up everything you have will turn into “every man for himself” very quickly. Local gangs, anarchists or other groups may mark anyone who opposes them as enemies. Crime and outright violence between gangs and criminal groups may surge seemingly overnight. It wasn’t that long ago that many cities in the USA were considered pretty dangerous and unsafe – and without easy access to the infrastructure that currently supports them (including agriculture, transportation, energy, and so forth) they will inevitably collapse and likely fall into a state even more dangerous than the where they were between the 70s and the 90s.
Rural Areas With High Crime Rates And Drug Use
Country living is no guarantee of safety or security. The fact of isolation and minimal police protection can encourage these places as gathering points for drugs, gangs and persons with dubious morals. It’s well known that an opioid epidemic has torn up a huge swathe of the country, particularly poorer, rural areas – this would be exacerbated as logistics are disrupted, these opioids become less and less available, and gangs and addicts start fighting over them.
The first 72 hours after a disaster are the most critical for survival. Enter your email below to get a checklist of essential items you need in your 72 hour emergency get home bag…
Also, don’t forget that folks in rural areas are much more likely to own firearms. Obviously on this site we believe in the right to bear arms, but the reality is in an environment where everybody has a gun and people are getting increasingly desperate, it’s easy to imagine violence breaking out and escalating quickly.
The West Coast
The West Coast is in the crosshairs of a longstanding social engineering process. Oregon has legal marijuana and assisted suicide. Recent rioting by anarchists has shown the depth of the unrest. Washington State mirrors these issues in most ways as well from social unrest to drug and high unemployment in several regions. California’s state government is in serious financial crisis; illegal immigration remains a huge issue and the state is governed by erratic and questionable officials. There is a small but growing movement within California to possibly secede from the nation. (dubbed “Calexit”, after Brexit). The west coast will likely become an area with a lot of unrest as there are still a lot of rural folk living out there away from major population centers who don’t agree with the liberal, progressive agendas of their state governments.
The East Coast
The East Coast and inland to the Midwest is the most densely populated, interconnected and socially liberal region of the current United States.Food production and even commercial fishing have declined due to population growth. Ivy League colleges and other public institutions have become hotbeds of social activism and elitist concepts that serve the liberal elite and nobody else. Public libraries offer programs aimed at social engineering at taxpayers expense.
With few exceptions, dependence on Federal funding keeps most afloat. If you work in a big city on the east coast, there’s a decent chance that saying you’re conservative at work would cause you to be shunned by your colleagues.
Southern Border Areas
Southern areas along the border are at risk of becoming extremely high crime areas. The border areas in Mexico are already virtually war zones, and this violence has already started spilling over to the US side of the border. Areas around the border between Mexico and the US will always be where a large amount of drug trafficking occurs, and where there are drugs there will be gangs fighting over who’s in control of those drugs. If tension and conflict increase in the country as a whole, there’ll be less law enforcement and less attention on any crimes happening along the border. This in turn means increased lawlessness and the potential for a very high level of violence as criminals take advantage of the general lawlessness.
Be Ready, Be Informed And Prepare And Plan Now
Tensions are rising in this country. It’s hard to think of a time in recent history where we’ve been more polarized than we are now. There’s virtually no political cooperation happening on the federal level, and many people on both the left and the right feel like there is an existential battle going on – both sides feel like they’re fighting for their way of life, and neither side is likely to give up easily. Each side demonizes the other completely – for liberals, President Trump is completely irredeemable, and for conservatives, President Obama was the same.
When you can’t see the humanity in the other side, then there’s no reasoning with them – only conflict can resolve the differences.
You need to be prepared. Remember the lesson from the breakup of the USSR – very few people predicted it would happen, but once it got going it happened extremely quickly. If you want you and your family to make it out the other end without losing everything, you need to take decisive action now before it’s too late. Follow the advice we’ve given in this post, start building a stockpile, fortify your home, and start gathering useful barter commodities.
A Note about Political Discourse
Here’s another thing to think about. A second civil war is good for nobody in America. It’s good for China. It’s good for Russia. It’s good for Iran and North Korea, and all the other countries that envy the USA’s power and influence on the world stage. America ripping itself into pieces from within would make every single one of our enemies extremely happy.
So why are we doing this to ourselves?
Surely if we can’t agree to anything else, we can at least agree that we don’t want China and Russia to be the “winners” of this century?
If you’re one of the people who feel like “the other side” is totally evil – you should take a breath. The likelihood is that the media is trying to turn your emotions up all the way. We’re talking about both “old media” and social media. News media nowadays, whether it’s cable news or the stuff you see on Facebook – it’s specifically designed to get a reaction out of you. That’s what keeps you watching, keeps you clicking, and keeps you angry.
Take a step back. In the USA, we have a long history of being able to disagree strongly with other Americans without resorting to violence. We need to go back to our roots and start using politics to resolve our differences again – and more importantly, we need to re-learn how to accept losing on the political battlefield. I don’t care if you’re liberal or conservative – if you can’t accept losing in a political battle, then eventually you’ll be helping turn America into a very real war zone.
We don’t want any kind of violence to break out on these shores, so we’re urging whoever’s reading this article to consider cutting down the “news” they get in all forms – get off Twitter, get off Facebook, stop watching cable news. Maybe stick to your local newspaper or watch a half an hour of news after work everyday at the most. Modern news is designed to make you angry or fearful.
Act Decisively
Finally, act decisively, today, to be able to survive should that day come. Across SecretsofSurvival.com we have multiple articles about prepping for and surviving anything from natural disasters, to martial law, and out right war and post apocalypse. In a best case scenario, these articles just serve as interesting reading today. In a worst case scenario, these articles help get families, individuals, and entire communities prepared to survive a dark future, perhaps a day without the power grid and food supplies, perhaps a day with a fractured and splintered U.S. military and government unable to defend it’s people … should that day come

Why You Can Trust Us
Secrets of Survival has been around since 2002 (almost 20 years) and our survival knowledge is the real deal. We were writing and discussing survival and prepping before people even knew what the word “prepping” meant. We also preceded the trendiness of survival media nowadays… for example, we were arround before Bear Grylls filmed his first episode of Man vs Wild.Our contributors and writers over the years have included survival experts of all stripes – including a Green Beret Special Forces Medic, a former Navy SEAL, a leading survival instructor who’s been featured on National Geographic and PBS. Every article is either written or reviewed by someone who is an expert in either survivalism, prepping, or homesteading (or all three) and our goal is to be as practical and educational as possible.
While some of our writers and contributors use pseudonyms in order to protect their privacy (never a bad idea in these times where out of control surveillance is a growing problem), you can trust that everybody who gets to write for us has been vetted for their knowledge and passion when it comes to survival.

Thanks, Tom , while Im a liberal and not a god fearing person , I thank you for your work on the possibilities
of what lay’s in front of us as a nation. I have found your piece interesting and possible!
Im not sure what I will do to prepare for any disruption but I feel in my gut that there is no way out !!
Please continue to share your insight with us !
Thank You !!!!
Dick R.
I think there are ways out. Every side needs to respect the process more, and media pundits on any side need to stop casually talking about ‘civil war’ in metaphorical or other terms.
Fast forward 1 year from when you wrote that and the left is burning down it’s own cities because, apparently the politicians it keeps electing keep using their police to kill black people. Try respecting that. Let me know how that goes.
Wars are always underway before the first shots are fired. We are already at war in this nation and battle lines have been drawn. History will confirm this after the dust has settled upon a new landscape. Just as America had to build up a military for years before D Day, we’re building up our efforts now. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.
You are correct I am well prepared I am a good shot and have a good stash but if war does brake out than we will be using guerrilla warfare tactics ware I come from.
This train of thinking is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I grew up in California and NO we are not over-run by illegal immigrants. Undocumented immigrants work their butts off from sunrise to sunset with little pay and sometimes no benefits at all. The notion that large cities are Liberal simply because they rely on subsidies or handouts is also a lie. Americans living in large cities understand that a rich diverse population makes us stronger, more educated and more tolerant. Keep in mind that under full Democrat control, California’s economy has grown from the 8th largest to the 5th largest economy in the world. California’s economy is stronger than that of the country of France or England. California is also the state the contributes the most amount of NET federal tax dollars of any other state. It takes the poorest 25 states (all red states with the exception of New Mexico) to contribute what California alone contributes. The reality is that California is subsidizing other states via Federal contracts and grants. Do we really think that Idaho or southern states have the economic muscle to fund our trillion dollar military complex? C’on guys. If Conservatives manage to destroy California, America will implode but not because Liberal policies didn’t work, but because Conservatives fulfilled their self-fulling prophecy of the American collapse.
These are all valid points. I myself didn’t write this article, and there are multiple here at SoS with various political/religious beliefs. I don’t consider myself a Democrat or a Republican, but there are definitely things that California does very well that many other, much more conservative states don’t do well.
I could not have said it better myself. My sense is that this article is not as factual as it may seem. The description of the East Coast, for example, is pure bullshit. As a retired librarian, I laughed out loud at the social engineering comment. I would also like to add that there is no evidence that Jihadists are pouring over the border from Mexico. There is plenty of evidence of issues, unrest, and happenings that indicate the possibility of another civil war. I’d have fewer criticisms if you hadn’t gone after inflammatory low-hanging fruit.
Jayzee you are delusional. The fact is leftist policies enacted by leftists are destroying California, not the conservatives you so ignorantly proclaim. Illegal immigration, tent cities of thousands of homeless all over, used drug needles and human excrement all over the streets, gang graffiti, parts of L.A. and San Francisco look like a third world country, massive debt, and thousands of Californians are fleeing your mismanaged state. You can lie to yourself and others and try to paint a rosy picture about whats happening in Californistan but the rest of the nation knows the truth.
Sarge do you live in California? If not, you should listen to the people who live there, and consider their perspective. This is the way to stop a way.
I’ve lived in California my whole life and I’m 32. Grew up in socal then recently moved away from that shit hole up to Northern ca 3 hours passed sac. I’ve never been political but from what I’ve seen, liberal politicians and laws have completely fucked California for years to come. I work in mortgage and know there is a mass exodus of the middle class underway leaving California indroves for surrounding states . Then, the dumb asses that leave ca due to the shit liberal politicians they elected and terrible leftist socialist laws they vote in, move to another state and vote for the same stuff that ruined the sate theyre running from. Shits unreal. And for you to say California is doing great you are either fucking blind, ignorant, or lying to yourself. Ca is in the worst shape I’ve seen in my 32 years here. Pretending everything is fine and lying on prepper forums won’t make everything dissappear you cuck
Illegal immigrants simply take resources from citizens. Whether it be water, timber for houses, sewer services or vote share since everyone of them that comes in and gives birth to another US citizen anchor baby dilutes the vote of the citizens already here. They have wrecked their own countries to the point they are no longer willing to live in them and now, with your enabling and excuses, they are wrecking this one.
You’re running the Colorado dry and STILL insist on letting in more illegals to use, on average, another 30,000 gallons of water each per year.
You have some of the worst wealth inequality in the entire country so only the top of the income earners are benefiting from that economy you are so proud of.
Your state is bordering on being a police state. You have to practically beg your officials for the basic right to be armed for your own protection. Your businesses have been forced closed by your dictator of a governor over a glorified cold virus that based on anti body testing kills only 1 in 1000 that it infects.
You have to shut your power off just to avoid starting fires. I don’t know how to tell you but in the rest of the country we actually have power grids that function without setting everything on fire in the first place.
Your cities are burning and being looted because, if we are to believe the leftist narrative of unjustified police killings, the Democrat officials you elect keep using their police to kill black people and your governments cannot insure law and order in the ensuing fallout. I guess they are too busy targeting the citizenry over malum prohibitum violations that hurt nobody. .
Finally, I hate to break this to you, but if any group of people more than about a dozen strong seriously wanted to destroy CA, they would easily. They would simply wait till a good dry fire season with high winds and start driving around chucking simple home made incendiaries out the window and burn the damn thing down, literally. It would take any serious terrorist or insurgent group literally about 20 seconds to conclude this was the way to go since it really doesn’t get much more obvious.
As one of the writers on this site, you can probably guess that I am very far from a ‘leftist’. However your level of hysteria and susceptibility to false information marks you as just as gullible as ‘the other side’.
“Do we really think that Idaho or southern states have the economic muscle to fund our trillion dollar military complex?”
Uh I hate to break this hard cold piece of reality to you but nobody is funding it or much of anything else. Your first clue on this would be the 27 trillion national debt. It’s all a ponzi scheme and it’s all going to collapse. The way to make it collapse even faster is to keep giving the ever greater and greater entitlements people like yourself demand to an ever increasing number of immigrants, legal or illegal.
Right, that’s is why responsible middle class CITIZENS are fleeing California. That is why crime is off the chart, that is why violent felons are being released by the hundreds, that is why San Francisco, a once beautiful city is plagued with filth, crime, and drugs, that is why ANTIFA and ANARCHIST and BLM are burning down businesses and looting.
Wall off California and let people like you have it. Its disgusting and needs to slip into the ocean. Thank you San Andreas Fault. (funny how socialist Newsom is begging President Trump for federal money because your liberals have failed to maintain the forests. Its not global warming, there are no fires in Canada, its land mismanagement).
You sound a bit unhinged my friend. There are plenty of conservatives who live in California who would tell you otherwise.
As a state it has it’s problems but you are straying deep into blatant falsehoods.
I think it’s funny that we as Americans are still so arrogant that we believe that liberals or conservatives are going to get their way after this. We are divided, becoming more divided each day, and countries like China and Russia are wringing their hands in glee at our childish antics. They are waiting for the day we break and implode and they can come take America and they will when that time comes. We have destroyed America by our child like violence with one another and our ungrateful attitude towards our own country and how blessed we are to live in America. We could defeat them together but we will never be able to divided and we are divided past the point of no return now. Better brush up on your Chinese and Russian.
We are more divided because the left has no self preservation instincts and wants to drag everybody else down with it. Case in point it is burning it’s own cities because, if we are to believe the leftist narrative of unjustified police killings, it keeps electing politicians who use their police to kill black people. It ain’t republicans electing the city council and mayor of LA, Chicago and NYC, or 90% of the other places these killings keep happening, sorry to tell you. Sorry but I don’t want anyone so stupid they burn their own cities over the actions of the officials they themselves keep electing, making decisions for me.
It’s 2020, I see the unrest across our great land. I see democratic states and cities letting lawlessness continue and grow stronger. I see even on this site people disagree with what is happening with the nation we grew up in. Our children and grandchildren will not have the luxuries we had nor the memories we had, unless we come together as Americans. Love, respect and GOD is the answer. If you don’t believe in GOD, then we can at least all agree on love and respect for each other. Why are we letting our politicians divide us ? These very things is how this nation was born. We left a nation of tyranny to form a free nation and now we go back to that same place that we allow our leaders to take us, all for the sake of their power over us. We all should wake up and see what they are doing to us as a free nation. Before it’s too late.
I suggest you direct your admonishments about how we really don’t want civil war to the left wing terror mobs burning buildings, vehicles, and anything else which will take flame all across America.
Unfortunately, in my personal opinion, I feel like America has passed the point of no return. Its like a sickness, once a disease has manifested itself into the body, if not seriously treated, it kills the host. We have forgotten we are ALL people, and everyone is sick with hate. If the hate don’t stop………..forget the virus, its humans that will be the disease.
