The Alt Right has been drumming up the civil war card, but they use way more divisive and violent imagery than we do. They want us dead. They would commit genocide against us if they thought they could get away with it, And then I saw that article on Buzzfeed a couple of weeks ago about how kids were quoting Trump to bully their classmates. Combine those two things and we'll see the rise of a new breed of American fasicm by the time these kids are old enough to vote.
