The radicalization of the Democratic Party is transforming everything that happens in America into another battle in our unending culture war.
Is there anything left in American public life that isn’t an occasion for political rancor and division? NFL games are now nothing more than crude pieces of political theater. On Sunday even Vice President Mike Pence got in on the act, showing up to a Colts-49ers game then leaving after a few players knelt during the national anthem. Next day was Columbus Day, which the cities of Los Angeles and Austin decided this year to replace with “Indigenous Peoples’ Day,” because Christopher Columbus is apparently the new Robert E. Lee. And it’s only Tuesday.

It should be obvious by now that our culture wars will henceforth be constant and unending; the next battle could be triggered by almost anything. Whether it’s the reactions (or non-reactions) of Hollywood celebrities to the unsurprising news of Harvey Weinstein’s sexual misdeeds or the outraged calls for the repeal of the Second Amendment the instant news broke of the Las Vegas massacre, very little can happen in America now without it being an occasion for an appeal to one’s own political tribe. No matter how tawdry or horrifying the news, there is vanishingly little room for solidarity because there is no appetite for it. Not even late-night comedy shows with their shrinking audiences can resist the urge to devolve into partisan political rants.

I'm hearing that noise from leftist family members too. 'If the alt-right doesn't cut this crap out we'll have another civil war on our hands' etc etc.

I want everyone to take a good look at California. That red part? Thats the area that has people with guns and mountains.

Lefty's in CA wouldn't even be able to win a civil war within their own state.

Heck...my county is blue, but I'm still not too worried about it. :D

When both sides begin grumbling about the possibility, history is full of instances where one seemingly insignificant event plays more of a role in deciding the fates of men than it should.

This is the one time I wish I had access to Canada so I could find the post I wrote in the bureau of land management thread where I wrote “when the embers of discontent are smoldering what sets them ablaze is seldom a bright bolt of lightning but what upon reflection appears to be only a small breeze” or something like that.

And the parts about the minstrels. I’ve been sitting here for 5 minutes trying to recreate it and can’t.
 
History is filled with what appear to be small events that seem to spark war. If you look at just that one event you might think “Well that hardly seemed worth all of the bloodshed” but in fact it was just the final small event that pushed an unstable people over the edge.

History tells us that neither side in these events are clean and we will be no different. I have been waiting for awhile now wondering what little seemingly insignificant event will send us into battle.

There have been a few events that I thought were it. I geared up and ran out into the street but I was the only one there so I realized it wasn’t time yet.

But, I wish they'd get on it already.

I've been going back from time to time to edit my content in little bits....I'll see what I can find tomorrow.

Shouldn't be too hard to find - that place is so inactive it's like they left the rooms exactly as they were when we left.

EDIT:. Disregard. I see @BigWaylon has already rummaged around the place....

Good. Anybody want to ask my WHY I say this is good?

I'll go ahead and save you the trouble.

One of the biggest problems with respect to the "liberals" and the "conservatives" in this country is that it's nearly ALWAYS been heavily weighted for the liberal political spectrum and against the conservative spectrum. It's a fact that supporters of the liberal spectrum are pretty much all the people who support one liberal aspect or another, period. The Democratic Party thus enjoys a HUGE level of support from all kinds of liberal people and organizations of every flavor.

Contrast that with the conservative end of the spectrum, where conservative supporters of the Republican Party tend, by and large, to be conservative in a much more broad spectrum of issues. This is why the Republican Party tends to be more fractured, while the Democratic Party tends to be more unified. Conservatives will disagree amongst themselves on nearly anything, while the liberals will support the H*ll out of each other, regardless.

So this "radicalization" of the Democratic Party? I day GOOD. Let them have a taste of political division amongst themselves which cuts down the Democratic Party's power a notch or five. It was bound to happen sooner or later as more and more liberal groups with radically different viewpoints started coming out of the woodwork faster than the DNC could (literally) control them and bring them into the fold.

The more hate and strife they stir up, the more it'll fracture and divide the Democratic Party's power.

Lol either I posted that phrase a second time in another thread or they really edited the crap out of it the first time. Because it was originally about 3 paragraphs.

Was that in the bureau of land management thread?

I searched for the word embers and found it. When I limit it to embers and your username, I get that one result.

But, I also know you're a lot more eloquent than that at times...so I searched again. This time for the word "discontent". It led me to a thread which contained a post of yours that probably should live on for posterity's sake. :D

If there's another post in a BLM thread, I missed it.

BTW...you do know how to use Google to (sometimes) find that kind of stuff without actually searching their site, right?

I couldn't find that post using Google. But sometimes certain forums are invisible without being logged in and/or having special permissions.

For anybody else that doesn't know, type the words you're looking for into Google and also include site:carolinafirearmsforum.com (or your forum/website of choice). It's about the only way I can ever find anything on ARFCOM.

For example:

The irony is ripe, I agree, but make no mistake...they have shown they are willing to do just that. The right hasn't shown anything in response. The left has shown power, organization, communication, and most of all the willingness to be violent.
 
The powers that be will take two steps back. Let the hot heads duke it out till they're bloody, tired, and their numbers are decimated. Step back in and it's business as usual.
 
My thoughts are its going to take considerably more before the right instigates a war. The left is itching for it, but they're idealistic. (much like the soviet revolutionaries) The right on the other hand, is pragmatic, and seems determined to resist resorting to violence as much as possible. (which I think is a good quality)

Ruby Ridge and Waco didn't start a shooting war in this country. Foosballers and confederate statues won't either.

If a war happens, it will be because the left started it. I'm almost certain the right wing will finish it.
 
IF the left starts an actual shooting war, do we really think they will be fighting it themselves. It won't be the right-wingers who know how to shoot, etc. fighting the snowflake leftist college brainwashed useful idiots, antifa, etc. Wouldn't the left use a proxy of some sort (police, feds, army, foreign force) to actually fight?

And who on the right would even know who/where/what to attack or defend, other than our family/friends/neighbors? Would they go after Soros and Bloomberg types (seize their money at least), major media/broadcast centers? Protect energy, water and food production and sanitation capabilities, hospitals, medical supply production facilities? Along with transportation and distribution of such essential items?

Will they bring down the institutions that have been brainwashing generations of young Americans, along with MSM? Not just the colleges themselves, but the schools that turn out all the teachers that execute it. Not to mention all the organizations that push the regulations, curriculums, policies, etc. What and who do you replace them with? Not to mention all the gov workers and departments that would have to be completely overhauled, restaffed or just done away with.

Not even getting into leadership and communication and logistics, etc.

The whole idea of an actual shooting war is terrifying in its complexity and far reaching effects. I don't know how many people think about this stuff, or if I am just over thinking it...
