The recent clandestine FBI raid on the home of President Donald Trump leaves little doubt that America indeed is in the midst of a second civil war. The war thus far is a non-shooting war with multiple "fronts" of attack waged and supported by both domestic and foreign enemies. If they are successful, they will have effectively nullified America's constitutional republic and negated most, if not all, of Americans' cherished constitutional rights and freedoms.
This civil war is being waged successfully against the American republic by multiple organizations and numerous powerful, very wealthy people

The actions of the Left and the Dems are both subtle and insidious. They and Satan have had very long range plans many of which are becoming ever more apparent in real time. But these efforts began as far back as Adam and Eve and are intrinsic to all our individual and collective fallen natures. We are in a war not just of political processes but of spiritual battles. And if we neglect the latter then it won't (and hasn't) matter in the long run. Wars are not won when we say so but when one's opponent begs for peace. Satan will not give up until the end of time and those inspired by him whether knowingly or simply his pawns will not be swayed no matter this Fall's 'Red Wave'. In that vein the author is correct, we must fight on every front with every fiber of our beings to have even temporray success.

The big fight is over how we define ourselves - either as individuals or as the Collective. Collectivists are hostile to the very notion of a Creator God. Our rights, to them, are based on our group membership, not on our individual worth. That is why they hate our Constitution.
This is good vs. evil writ large. May God protect us and our beloved nation. And God bless and protect our 45th President.

There's the rub #2. We must act collectively in order to preserve the right to live independently. Authoritarian collectivists will have the advantage of numbers. Recall that 60% of the subjects in the Milgram experiment were willing to follow authority and electrocute who they believed to be the innocent subjects of the experiment.

Divide and Conquer is an article of faith, and most powerful tool of the Evil Left; whether Global Communism, Marxism, Progressivism, Democrat....whatever label they wear. In a country with tremendous poverty, and a super-rich elite (think Venezuela) class warfare serves as a wedge. In a country with different ethnic groups, that can be used to create tension. In an all-Black African nation, tribes can be turned against one another. In other places, differing religions, or subsets thereof: Sunni, Shia for example, can perpetuate strife and disunity; in that case, for centuries. In the USA, those situations not being of critical mass, race is the wedge, and so 'Racism' must be used as an unrelenting drumbeat of resentment, envy, hatred, and, most usefully: disunity. QED, Divide and Conquer. There's always something that serves this purpose. For those who would rule, without offering a better life to any but themselves, the solution lies in creating division.

Good on you #4 for mentioning the Milgram experiment. I'd forgotten about this experiment until you mentioned it. I remember the discussion about this experiment in several classes I had in college decades ago.

They don't realize how close we are to the "shooting war" part or they would not be so publicly brazen. Some events that will bring us closer will be food shortages, higher inflation, hostile gun confiscation, massive cheating in November, moving illegal immigrants to flyover country, another attempt at lockdowns, more FBI raids on innocent people, big city crimes moving to the suburbs, IRS attacks on middle class workers. Yep, we are close.

The first Civil War took rights away from the States and created the massive federal government we have now. Maybe the second one will restore those rights back to the States as the founders intended.

I’d just stock up on whatever ammo I can get and draw a bead on anyone with a man-bun I see!

The Republic of Texas approaches.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of.
California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

There also needs to be a way to nullify the Left-leaning media, which is nothing but the PR branch of the DemoRAT Party

It's just so confusing...I thought we were to keep our powder dry. What's going on here? Conservatives to do something? I'll believe it when I see it. Anyone wearing a "Free the J6 Political Prisoners" t-shirt?

One of the many beautiful things about the foundations of this country, individuals united just enough to collectively act against the abuses of the state-- the king--- the swamp--world economic forum
The government was only a means to an end, to protect individual freedom, not stomp it out. The understanding that left to one's own devices, man is a selfish unit of government in need of a moral compass which directs that selfishness toward something greater than himself. Do we need to discuss how that can only be God, or, if we have turned our backs on God, and we have, we are marching toward real evil. AND WE ARE
So we have a government so large that it has room both for marxists and an oligharchy of monopolists and elitists with no appreciation for democracy, populism and the equality of all created human beings. Two aristocracys accuulating power and wealth, not an ounce of religious faith among them.
