I personally feel that you raise a good question. I believe that the US is much closer to civil war than most realize, and the government is trying to prevent it by lowering fuel and grain prices, spurring economic growth without hurting the lower class anymore, and creating a common enemy(Russia). I know the only ones claiming Russian involvement is the US government and media.
However, I don't think it's a bad thing. Despite our issues, civil war would be a terrible, horrid occurrence.
- nkozyra 9y ago> I know the only ones claiming Russian involvement is the US government and media. That isn't really true, though. You could argue that our allies were just doing our bidding, but other countries definitely saw this meddling both in the 2016 POTUS election and other elections.[1] I also think statements like "US is much closer to civil war than most realize" needs some quantification or support. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/07/russia-us-election-hacking-uk-intelligence https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/07/russia-us-el...
- TheAdamAndChe 9y ago> I also think statements like "US is much closer to civil war than most realize" needs some quantification or support That's why I said "I believe," I don't have any evidence. I just find it incredibly interesting how at the same time we have a growing number of protests and most are experiencing a declining quality of life, food and gas prices are incredibly low. To me it seems like the government is trying to stabilize the population.
- Overtonwindow 9y agoI too believe we are closer to civil war than ever before. A powder keg is building.
