Various voices, including the Republican and Democratic politicians, scholars studying civil unrest, and extremists of the left and right factions. Now they accept this view: civil war is either imminent or inevitable. The evidence they put forward seems very convincing: a series of threats from agents, judges, election officials, school board members, and election supervisors; It shows that many Americans expect violence.

But it is also easy for us to draw such a conclusion: the warnings of the right -wing extremists, the warnings of mainstream media concerns, and the large number of threats and personal attacks after the Federal Investigation Bureau searched the Trump Private House Haihu Manor this month. These are all these. Farly with the terrible prospects of the civil war.

Those who followed such threats said that the reproduction of violent activities against federal officials and government agencies this summer means that people's anger is again worrying again. However, the anti -defamation alliance and other supervision organizations did not see the specific action plan of the armed elements and the extremists gathered online. This situation was very obvious before the riots on January 6 last year and the white supremacy of Sharotitzville in 2017. Essence Olun Siegel, deputy chairman of the American Anti -Defamation Alliance Extremeist Center, said: "I did not see people organized as organized as before January 6."

"Fire" and "Civil War"

This difference in the threat of the civil war is another example of the severe division of the United States. Some people say that the United States is moving towards the civil strife, and some people say that threatening is mainly limited to small and unorganized groups. Their scattered behavior does not constitute civil war. Both types of analysts believe that organized violent attacks on the government, or the possibility of fighting against the federal government is very small. However, there are still serious differences in the conflict between more and more individuals and small -scale attacks that will accumulate into a war conflict that destroys the stability of the country. Both parties agree that a disturbing trend is that in a serious damage society, trust, hope, and belonging are generally lost.

Today, the "Civil War" is a combat slogan. Some Americans print it on a T -shirt, and others use attacking weapons. After the Sea Lake Manor was searched, the "fire" and "civil war" became a hot topic on social media supporting Trump. The warmaking has also become part of the daily campaign of some Republicans. On various social platforms that support Trump, people talk about buying ammunition and training to fight federal agents.

One of the main critics of Trump's political parties, a member of the Representative Adam Kimjjin, warned that he should not support the civil war. However, since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the purchase of guns in the United States has almost doubled, mainly due to concerns about rising crimes, political turmoil, and unsafe life in the era of epidemic. In such a country, there are almost no effects like Kinjinge. War speech is more common than war itself. Over the years, the language of violence and darkness has been the core of Trump's attractiveness.

It's worse than the 1960s

Canadian writer Stephen Mickey said that no one would call the conflict of the 1960s as the civil war. "There was a huge violence at that time. 140 cities were burned. But at that time, people still had a certain degree of trust in the system and could reduce violence." However, he believes that people's trust in police, news media, churches, and government institutions have now collapsed, making this country more vulnerable to internal attacks. But Siger still had hope, he said, "I am more worried about what I can't see."
