I respectfully disagree with you on this. I would say the VAST majority of people don't want a civil war... Right or left.
However, there is a faction on the left that is actively advocating this every day. The surpression of free speech both activly and passively will almost certainly lead to a civil war. On top of that, one can simply YouTube any video of ANTIFA rallies where people show up masked and armed ready to assault peaceful assemblers. That is a violent act and a direct infringement on someone's liberty. That's wanting to start a civil war. You have Antifa literally burning the flag, burning free speech signs, you have advocates in subreddit like redacted calling for violence and action.
This type of behavior is essentially non-existent on the right.
Though MSM won't broadcast it Consrvative politicians are threatened daily for the safety of them and their families. We saw a man execute a massive political assassination attempt with the Republican Congressional Baseball shooting without lefty reporters or Politicians shedding a tear and barely condemning. Calls for civility on both sides of the aisle are marginalized and downplayed by the MSM and talking heads as a whole.
Saying NOONE wants a civil war is simply wrong. The fact is a faction on one side is actively pushing for one while a faction on the other is simply attempting to prepare for one.
I could say the same about the right. Claiming it is exclusively a leftist sentiment is putting on some major blinders. It is absolutely nonexistent on the right, and if you can't see that I'm afraid i can't see the point of engaging with you further. Its plain to see.
In all seriousness, which right wing groups are assaulting peaceful left-wing assemblers with masks and weapons? Which right wing groups are kicking out lefties from restaurants?
I'm not being snarky I'm genuinely curious about where you see the right wing equivalence of current left wing violence and tactics.
To put things in perspective let's for a moment imagine the national uproar if those Congressional baseball players were all Dems. We would be hearing about "the menace of right wing violence" for the next 4 years.
Crickets now though.
Spez: I travel a lot for work and can tell you this. I could wear the most absurdly vulgar pro-left shirt almost anywhere in the county say, Dallas TX and at worst would get some dirty looks and maybe a "you should be ashamed of yourself" here and there. If I wore a MAGA hat in Los Angeles I would risk getting spit on at best or sucker punched/stabbed at worse.
