Could this be the next Revolutionary War????

How do we line up.......North vs South, Klan vs BLM, Rich vs Poor, White vs Other Colors, Christians vs Other Religions, and whatever else division that separates us. HOW DO WE ALL COME TOGETHER??????

1. What war are you expecting to occur?

[a kennedy]

3. What should it be called, I mean what war is it we're going through right now???

Right???? I mean these times.....tRump in absolute power, what do we call it. I’m just asking.

13. I've never been a fan of political hyperbole...

Trump isn't in absolute power. The fact that Pelosi is House Speaker and we have Governors making rational decisions on COVID and you have then right to publicly complain about Trump points to that.

2. If one happens, it will be like the breakup of Yugoslavia.

Very messy.

4. Do you mean Civil War?

[a kennedy]

5. Yah, perhaps, Civil, Revolutionary, a WAR HERE AGAIN.

[LiberalArkie]

6. As it always is, rich vs poor

[BGBD]

10. It's never rich vs poor

It's rich vs rich with the poor ones doing the dying for both.

16. Excellent point.

[Hekate]

7. Cold Civil War

[misanthrope]

8. Yep, it never stopped

Anyone who has lived in the Deep South knows as much.

11. I have not lived there, & it wasn't until Trump that I knew the Civil War never ended ...

I have not lived there, & it wasn't until Trump that I knew the Civil War never ended ...

...for quite a chunk of what I had always thought of as one nation, indivisible.

There's a passage in Neil Gaiman's "American Gods" that at least prepared me to accept this dismaying revelation when I read it years ago. The two main characters, Shadow and Wednesday, arrive on a sunny day in San Francisco from a frozen Northeastern town called Lakeside.

"It's almost hard to believe that this is in the same country as Lakeside," Shadow said.

Wednesday glared at him. ..."It's not. San Francisco isn't in the same country as Lakeside any more than New Orleans is in the same country as New York or Miami is in the same country as Minneapolis."

"Is that so?" said Shadow, mildly.

"Indeed it is. They may share certain cultural signifiers -- money, a federal government, entertainment -- it's the same land, obviously -- but the only things that give it the illusion of being one country are the greenback, The Tonight Show, and McDonald's."

15. Perfect illustration

I've said this plenty of times here but it always bears repeating: if you haven't read Colin Woodard's "American Nations," then you should. It breaks down the eleven regional nations that make up the United States, how their distinct cultures developed and why they act and react in the way they do.

It will give you a better insight into what your aforementioned characters summarize and into the political history of the U.S. The Civil War never ended and the South, now, is in the most ascendent position it has enjoyed since Appomattox.

9. Have you got your wars mixed up?

Do you mean Civil War?

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Probably Not

The OP mentioned absolute power, as in King George.
That said, it's hyperbolic.
Right now, PINO is paralyzed by this situation and is floundering.
Absolute power is the opposite of the current situation.

[Wounded Bear]

14. Want to say urban vs rural...

or maybe coastal vs flyover country.

17. Pretty sure I'm trapped behind enemy lines and in danger of friendly fire if that's the case.

I'm a white Christian man living in a rural part of the deep South. Most people would probably assume I was a Trump supporter until they got to know me better.
