Related: About this forumCivil War? The REALITY You NEED to Understand - Adam Kinzinger
Is America really headed toward a civil war? A lot of people online are calling for it, but they have no idea what it would actually mean. Nothing we take for granted today would survive.
Before cheering for conflict, understand what youd really be asking for. The costs would far outweigh any so-called benefits, and in the end, the issues that divide us now would pale in comparison to the suffering a civil war would bring.
Lets fight our battles where they belong in debate, in democracy, at the ballot box not through violence. - 09/15/2025.

It's about time somebody pointed out the insanity of those who push the meme. There was a time when more people than today IMHO, actually thought about the consequences of their actions.
