I'm with the seven

Seven out of ten polled believe America is nearing the edge of civil war

Partisan political division and the resulting incivility has reached a low in America, with 67% believing that the nation is nearing civil war, according to a new national survey.

“The majority of Americans believe that we are two-thirds of the way to being on the edge of civil war. That to me is a very pessimistic place,” said Mo Elleithee, the executive director of Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service.

And worse, he said in announcing the results of the institute’s Battleground Poll, the political division is likely to make the upcoming 2020 presidential race the nastiest in modern history.

“Two-thirds of the way to being on the edge of civil war” is not the same as being on the cusp of such disaster, thank heavens, but I have an uneasy feeling that something wicked this way comes. And if Trump wins reelection, keep your powder dry.
