To be honest it was the same with Bush and Obama

Fema camps for instance.

The US has I would say from the Clinton admin forwards has become far more divided politically then during any time after 76 ( after Nixon and the Vietnam war era). With far more extreme concerns regarding "opposing" politicians. It is not a left or right, liberal or conservative, democrat or republican thing, but from both sides doing it

I think civil war is wishful thinking for those that feel their way, religion, politics are the only way. There is a growing number of people in this country and the world in general who have lost the ability to empathize, compromise, or see things from another's perspective. Intolerance is becoming the norm because far too often tolerance is viewed as weakness.

I agree with that but that has nothing to do with people going off the deep end in regards to conspiracy theories.

But that is nothing new

from 9/11, to the birthers, to Fema camps, to what ever the current one against trump is

I recall many people claimed Bush wanted to bring in a fascist state into the US, the same vs Obama (fascist and or socialist/communist) and now the same vs Trump

Normal people are supposed to be level headed. Just because there are some wackos doesn't mean they need company.

We are not exactly in "imminent" danger but it is not wise to open our doors to people from terrorist countries that cannot be vetted properly. That is actually pretty stupid. It is what Europe does and they have terrorist cells everywhere.

Is america heading for a civil war? Historically the country has not been this divided since the civil rights movement, but more troubling is that the govt itself has not been this opposed to or disruptive against a president since lincoln was elected.

It feels like the cards are falling in place, the wheels in motion, and the hamsters spinning those wheels working overtime. With govt officials in the white house even opposing trump and leaking information that should not be leaked, it seems the govt itself is divided, and I wonder how long before people start taking sides and fighting it out.

We are not HEADED toward civil war. We are in one. I notice 43 people voted No. I think they may not have thought it through.

What's happening right now is that extremists are leading the charge, with media cooperation, toward their ultimate goal of toppling The White House.

It is the only way the United States will ever have a civil war... not with guns... but through extremist activism.
 
Liberals are too sissified to do anything but riot and loot.

There's going to be lots of butthurt but no war.

Civil war? Really? I don't think so.

Europe is reaping what it sowed because a lot of those alleged terrorist countries were their former colonies.

extremist activism for too long leads to fights with guns at some point. I personally think it will happen but not right now, like I said in a earlier post it took decades of political divide between two sides of a country before a civil war finally happened.

So far we just have had bush obama and now trump, each time the opposition getting louder and worse. My fear is when trump leaves office republicans will try to one up trump derangement syndrome, then democrats again after a republic win. It is simple partisan divide, with end results that can be not so simple.
