Joe diGenova warns America is too polarized, suggests on brink of a real ‘civil war’
February 22, 2019 | Tom Tillison |

There’s no denying that America faces a serious cultural divide today, with left and right more angry and polarized than at any time in recent memory.

Some believe there is a cultural-driven civil war of sorts underway, based on severe social and ideological disagreements, but Joseph diGenova, the former U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, believes that divide will eventually result in violence.

Appearing on The Laura Ingraham Podcast, diGenova said our differences go beyond civil discord and that it’s going to result in “total war,” saying people should take care to properly arm themselves.

On Thursday’s show, Ingraham was discussing how the left used the alleged attack on actor Jussie Smollett to distract from the disastrous blackface scandal in Virginia — Gov. Ralph Northam is still in office, as is fellow Democratic Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, who faces sexual assault allegations.

Worrisome when public figures are saying this kind of stuff out loud.

War is what happens when one side says 'my way or the highway', which is exactly what the left has done.

Staging a coup, massive corruption in the DOJ, wanting to change the electoral process, swamping the country with illegals, asylum seekers and refugees are all part of the leftists attempts to bring this Republic down.  No longer are we protected by the ballot box as the leftists continue to try to win by corruption.  The 2A continues to be under attacks.

What choices do we have left to save this Republic?

Been expecting it for some time and as ready as I can get.

You mean... when they finally get the nerve to state the obvious.   Yeah.  It's a worry, but not a surprise.  It's an impending reality that many of us have been facing for some time now.  The radical left will never stop trying to take over.  They're kind of like radical Islam re: that.

Why not start electing Pubs who want to allow States to opt out of the Union? I know it sounds crazy, but why do we have to stay one country.

I would proffer that the "new slavery states" (blue) and the "traditional freedom states" (red) are actually engaged in a "civil cold war" right now.

How long until it "goes hot"?
Don't reckon I know, but I think we'll find out within 10-15 years.

A question I dare anyone reading to answer:
What would it take to bring the leftist-democrat-communists back into the realm of a traditional-minded America...?

I can't answer your question, because I don't have a legitimate answer. However, your estimate of 10-15 years is very generous.  I'd say it is going to depend on who wins in 2020.  The leftists have been geared up and have done everything they can to delegitimize this presidency.  If Trump is re-elected in 2020 you are gong to see the left become even more unhinged.  We are on the brink.  1-5 years tops.

It's tough when you run the Presidency, US Senate, SOTUS, majority of Governors, majority of State legislatures and legislators.  How in the Hell are you gonna get anything done without shooting the Americans who disagree? /sarc

Di Genova is another creature of DC and hardly feels/thinks as plain people do.
The vast majority go about their daily lives concerned about family, friends and job.
The inference that they are mesmerized about a coming civil war is paranoia.
The upheaval scenario is the pre-occupation of the Establishment; political
assholery, the msm, the pollsters, the agitators and the rest of the swamp critters.

If Joe's gonna lay it on polarization, yes, that's right, and Anyone expecting conservatives to 'meet the bleeps in the middle' is way too far gone themself as anything more than part of the Problem rather than the solution.
