Thoughts on The Kinetic Civil War

Civil War is here. It has been here but many of us refuse to see it. If the Associated Press does not call it...

This is called negative hallucination. We overlook what is plain to see. The lawfare waged against Michael Flynn, the shooting of Steve Scalise (where many other Republicans were targeted), the suspicious crash of a train loaded with GOP operatives on January 31, 2018, the burning of Minneapolis, multiple church arsons. One might see a pattern here.

Our first Civil War officially lasted four years, 1861 to 1865. Unofficially, it lasted about twenty years. The 1850s was a decade marked by civil conflict between proslavery and abolitionist forces. Bleeding Kansas earned this moniker for a reason but the Hawkeye State did not hold a monopoly on mayhem. In what was then Virginia, John Brown and two of his sons were hanged after capturing a federal armory and attempting to lead a slave insurrection. In retrospect, the official war was a long time coming.

Despite the sobering carnage and the economic ruin inflicted on the South, civil insurrections followed the stillness at Appomattox. The Ku Klux Klan was formed in 1865 and it was not long before they became famous for doing what Klansmen do. Historians like to write about the big war, of course, but President Grant did a masterful if unsung job of stopping insurrections before they resulted in a second Civil War.

Some grudges never died but 1876 marked an end to an era. Former Union General, Rutherford B. Hayes, won a corrupted election and his presidency was on shaky ground. He appeased the antebellum South and paved the way for segregation and what would become known as Jim Crow laws. Peace came at a price but the Civil War era had concluded.

Wars sometimes feature a long introduction and an even longer epilog. Civil wars, even more so. 

The following tweet appeared on November 20th. 

The Daily Dot tells us that this was a prank and we were fooled again.

A workmate, who happens to be a true believer in the extreme, in this sad case, a Kool-Aid-guzzling, woke SJW recently informed me that Antifa does not exist. I am ever so gullible.

In keeping with my gullibility, I believe that Antifa does exist and that they are to the new Democrat Party what the KKK was to yesterday's Democrats.

The "prankster" mentioned a tactic that has already been floated by the Anti-Democrats. Recall a previous post concerning a trucker strike to support Donald Trump. It was planned for now--more specifically November 26 to November 29.  

Bold of them to plan a strike on a four day weekend, long after the Black Friday cargo had been delivered, followed by a high travel weekend that has traditionally been a calm before the holidays. The halfhearted strike was proposed before the many revelations of voter fraud throughout the country. The next strike might be more serious.

When the war goes hot, supply lines will be cut. Unlike Antifa and their wholesale destruction, the Other Side will fight strategically. Antifa does not have the clout to cut off food, water, gas, electricity, etc., to strategic areas. The Other Side does.

We are a long way from national unity.
