Poll: More than 1/3 think a second civil war is coming

Jazz Shaw Posted at 8:41 pm on June 15, 2020

How bad is the tension getting out there on the streets these days in the midst of all of the unrest, protests and rioting? According to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports, more than one-third of likely voters in America believe that a second civil war is likely within in the next five years. As depressing as that may sound, it’s an uptick from people who felt that way in recent years. And unsurprisingly, there are marked differences in the crosstabs as to who is more likely to feel that away along both party affiliation and racial lines. Considering how the first one went, I kind of hope that nobody is really seeing this as a good thing, even if you feel it looks inevitable. (Rasmussen Reports)

Quote
    With race-driven anti-police protests nationwide, one-in-three voters continue to believe America is on the brink of another civil war. Blacks are the least optimistic that the protests will lead to positive change but the most supportive of removing Confederate symbols from public display.

    The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 34% of Likely U.S. Voters think the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, but that includes only nine percent (9%) who say it’s Very Likely. This compares to 31% and 11% respectively two years ago…

    As recently as last November, 73% of American Adults said Americans should be proud of the history of the United States. But 32% of Democrats share New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s view that “we’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.”

I believe the second civil war is beginning.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I think the right will just roll over like a dead fish. With the few exceptions of course.

More concerned with terrorism than an outright Civil War.  War take guts and commitment above self.  The lefties just don't have it..

What you're seeing in politics generally isn't the right, it's the muddle in the middle that comes from decades of sucking up to moderates. Neither hot nor cold, it's lukewarm.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Not just that, but despite praying ardently for patience, I find mine wearing thin.

I can't say how sick I am of being lied to. It's an insult. Just how d@mned dumb do they think we are?

It's hard to imagine what an actual civil war would look like though. would it be divided geographically? Seems unlikely.But I can imagine increased violence.

There's sure a simmer around these parts... Wouldn't take a whole lot to bring on a boil.

We've been in a silent war for years.  It's here.  Ever since we elected Trump, it has come out in the open.  Think non-stop attacks that started even before he took office.  The crats have been apoplectic.  There will be no cease fire.  It's win or lose, winner literally takes all.  We must win.

It will be no contest as we can starve them out.

Yeah but you're not thinking this through, what role would the US military play in this? It wouldn't be just two quasi-organized tribes killing each other and the US military sits back and lets it happen.

With the left in charge of most civic institutions, military and law enforcement brass, most of the media, education, what else would anyone expect? Where is our organization? Leadership? I see very few of any consequence willing to stand up to the radical street freaks as it is, who are well funded and also relatively well organized.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure

Sadly,I think it will quickly devolve to becoming a race war,as the white left suddenly hear their mama's calling and run home to cower under their beds.

Which will leave the black all on their own because they have been conditioned to be the "disposable foot soldiers of the leftist revolution",and they are angry and motivated by their leftist masters.

Also,they can't hide being black,and there are going to be a LOT of pissed-off armed white people running around seeking revenge.

My sincere hope is that most blacks have the good sense to remain home and out of sight,and the outraged whites have enough sense to ignore the peaceable black majority,and go after their white and leftist masters,pull them out from under their beds,and hang the bastards from the nearest telephone poles or light stands.

Sady,there WILL be innocents of all races caught up in the violence,and they will die as surely as the guilty. Such is the nature of war and revolution,and the prime reason why both should be avoided if at all possible.

I THINK that if we are allowed to have honest elections that Trump will win,and gradually things will return to normal,but if the Dims manage to stall or steal the election,there IS going to be a revolution.

They no longer think about it....or care about it.   They are 'full steam ahead' with their agenda against America and that starts (continues) with getting rid of Trump.   I have a really bad, niggling and nagging feeling that they're going to pull something (surprise!) before November that would disrupt Trump's re-election.

Yeah, it will be a continuing onslaught of attacks. 

Can you think of 'any' politician that could have taken all of this BS from the left as well as he has handled it (unfettered tweeting nothwithstanding...lol)?   I can't imagine anyone (else) holding up that well.   Truly the man chosen for 'this' time in history.  I see that clearly now.

I cannot imagine anyone in any role withstanding the raw hatred and nonstop attacks he has. I wonder if it’s even possible to do for eight years.
