Attacks on Power Stations Are More Evidence the ‘Civil War’ is Upon Us
Headline from Business Insider: “The far right is calling for civil war after the FBI raid on Trump’s home. Experts say that fight wouldn’t look like the last one.”
The New York Times: “Is Civil War Coming to America?”
The Washington Post: “Is the United States headed for a civil war?”
What the media is anticipating seems to be a shooting war like the one that ripped the country apart from 1861 to 1865.
But if we step back and consider the general definition of small-c civil war, we might realize it’s already started.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines “civil war” as, “A war between factions or regions of the same country.”
So maybe this headline from The Guardian is the most accurate: “The next US civil war is already here — we just refuse to see it.”
We can’t say we weren’t warned.
Two years ago, election deniers were hanging their hopes on statewide audits, like the farce perpetrated in Maricopa County, Arizona that confirmed — again — Joe Biden was the undisputed winner over Donald Trump.
Just because they failed doesn’t mean they were going away.
