A movie is about to hit our screens about an imminent Civil War in the world's second biggest democracy. A few years ago the prospect of another conflict like the 19th century cessation by the Confederacy would have been laughed at but now Americans openly speculate.
The November presidential election may see rioting and unrest regardless of who wins. Americans are drifting into two or three political tribes but I can't see the states themselves or the nuclear armed US military divide and fight among themselves.
One result of the on line age is an increase in rage and polarisation. Ronald Reagan was literally Hitler among leftists. Then George Herbert Bush! Then the son. And finally the real Hitler , an ex Democrat with Orange hair and a huge ego who lost a subsequent election and his power. Not that he went gracefully but Berlin 1945 it wasn't.
I don't see a Civil War in the old fashioned sense least of all because it would be over very quickly unless the losers launch a terrorist style guerilla war. I ll still go to the movie though....
