Distinguishing Civil War from Social Anarchy
By E.M. Cadwaladr

The antics of the left since the 2016 election have proven beyond any doubt that leftists are not going to give up their agenda quietly.  Their street activists have shown themselves more than willing to engage in violence – creating a mob to evict a Trump rally from Chicago even before the election, beating up Trump-supporters on numerous occasions, and threatening members of the administration in public.  Leftist-dominated universities have long had the habit of lionizing 1960s and '70s domestic terrorists – in some cases granting them professorships.

Also worth mentioning are various "lone wolf" assassinations and attempted assassinations almost certainly inspired by leftist rhetoric, notably a string of police killings by the Black Lives Matter movement and the shooting of Republican House whip Steve Scalise.  Antifa is no more a "protest organization" than Mussolini's blackshirts were.  Assaulting people in the streets doesn't normally fit under the constitutional rubric of "free speech."  Antifa's goal is to influence politics by creating fear of bodily harm among its opponents.  That is the very definition of terrorism.

Nevertheless, mob violence and even political assassination still fall far short of an actual civil war.  In the increasing volatile and dangerous atmosphere of our time, we cannot lose our heads. We must, despite provocations, do our best to understand clearly what is happening around us.

Oh, stop your whining and lighten up, E.M., let’s get back to some real fun: mocking and criticizing Donald Trump. That’s what the democrat Left really wants from us, isn’t it? Conservative defectors.

See, how else are they gonna get rid of President Trump, except to sway republicans into joining in the fun? One way or the other they’ll be rid of Trump. Through direct action or with a little help from their friends, the nevers.

As the article says, some folks just refuse to see past the politics. They weigh everything they see for its usefulness in validating their political point of view.
