CNN's Michael Holmes talks with Professor Barbara Walter of the University of California San Diego about her work on a task force that tries to predict where outside the US a civil war is likely to break out. Walter says the two best predictors of whether violence is likely to occur currently exist in the US and have emerged at a "surprisingly fast rate."

(6,265 posts)given the racist fascist fears fanned in the last 4 years before our current POTUS. He brought to the surface all that has been bubbling below the surface in this American crockpot.
IF something like this should happen, every death and wound will be added to the daily count he's racking up with Covid. TFG is a devil in human form. Too many Americans are hateful and vicious when it comes to fears of losing supremacy, RACIALLY-culturally over the 'others'. The devil's minions that surrounded him in the West Wing Miller, Bannon, Kushner, Ivanka et al. knew exactly what they were doing and who they had sitting in the chair in the Oval Office. A compromised(Putin's puppet) and malleable clown who wanted power for power's sake. I bet he screamed at the ghost of his racist father, look daddy where I am, every damn day.
That he could be voted in as a POTUS showed me almost 5 long years ago, we were in a place where we would be an extreme danger to each other. American fought American once 161 years ago for 4 long years over whether to enslave brown-skinned people and so-called states rights. Now it will be over white supremacy nationalism. Who coulda figured? Those who forget are doomed to repeat their mistakes...a liberal paraphrase of a well-known quote.
Thank you for this.
