re: Give it to me straight baws, are we on the precipice of a civil war?

No, because literally half the population is nearly, functionally illiterate and are primarily driven by what they absorb from tiny screens and not their own critical thinking.

Most of the other half are either fully indoctrinated or disinclined to be impolite.

This leads to a special kind of atrophy that thwarts cohesion and action against forces of true evil.

JMO…
