(PJ Media)—The conversation about how divided we are here in the United States of America is a never ending one now. Twenty or thirty years ago, talk about “two Americas” was about economic status. Now it is about the great Red/Blue divide. It’s a bit much when people blather on about us being more divided than ever before, but that’s what you get when public schools stop teaching real American history.
A lot of participants in this conversation bring up the specter of a new civil war breaking out here in the Republic. I am not a big fan of throwing around “civil war” like that, but it is being used a lot. Most people don’t flesh out exactly what this civil war might look like. It’s been bouncing around in my head a lot lately, however.
It’s this kind of mental activity that will eventually drive me back into the frustrating and expensive arms of golf. Better to obsess about my horrible short game than the country splitting apart. Then again, pondering gloomy topics for columns is a moneymaker for me.
While nothing can be ruled out, I can’t see things deteriorating to the point where we see nationwide violence in the streets. Yeah, the lefties like to get their riot on when they get angsty, but they never do it in places where the locals are allowed to fully enjoy the protections of the Second Amendment.
In fact, they tend to only get tough in blue cities where progressive politicians have sufficiently neutered local law enforcement. My once-beloved Los Angeles is a perfect example of this. Lefties there are in complete lunatic meltdown mode because President Trump sent in officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and allowed them to — SHOCKER — do what they were hired to do. When the riot progs thought they could get tough with ICE, Trump sent in more people with guns.
