A civil war between the left and right is a wet dream that right-wing nut jobs hope for, but it will not happen. In order to have a war, both sides need to be armed. When one side is armed and the other is not, there will be no fighting. This is common sense.
My daughter is 20 and I know most of her friends. They are mostly liberal and progressive. They are sweet kids, whose hearts are in the right place even if they have not fully thought through their views. Not a single one of them has ever fired a weapon… think about that. Not only do none of them have firearms, but even if someone gave them one, none of them know how to shoot one.
So for all the right-wing nut jobs that think the college kids and hippies are going to rise up and fight them, dream on.
If there is fighting, it will be between the police and patriots. The police have the best weapons, body armor, etc. and they are the only ones that have a chance of dividing and conquering free Americans. The police do what they are told, they will not stand up to the politicians and lose their paychecks and retirement. If the powers-that-be start targeting the right, it won’t be kids with mean words for the conservatives, it will be SWAT teams taking out “leaders” and “influencers”. Once that happens, they will search door-to-door confiscating weapons for “our safety”.
