How Civil Wars End
By Douglas Schwartz
America has engaged in an increasingly robust civil war for decades. Beginning with the JFK, MLK, and RFK assassinations; extending through Nixon’s defenestration coordinated by the FBI; borking masterminded by Teddy Kennedy to stymie Reagan; lawfare waged against Trump and his allies by the DoJ; capped by the DHS-enabled assassination attempt. This uniquely American civil war, experiencing minimal bloodshed, is the antithesis of our last one. Ours is fought with absentee ballots, not bullets. Civil wars conclude variously: battlefield surrenders; wholesale desertions; or combatants slinking from the hostilities, pretending it was a misunderstanding, begging the victor’s forbearance. There’s also Mark Antony’s option. His suicide ended Rome’s civil war.
American political suicides occur when oblivious actors self-destruct, e.g., representatives Adam Kinzinger, Dan Goldman, Ted Lieu, Corie Bush, Liz Cheney, or Jamal Bowman. Kamala couldn’t sabotage her candidacy fast enough so she tapped fellow traveler Walz. Filled with joy, Walz can’t decide whether he’s auditioning to replace Ellen DeGeneres or Richard Simmons.
Marx was correct: history repeats first as tragedy, then farce. Kamala 2.0 runs against Biden’s record, not Trump. Her campaign plagiarizes the Theranos scam. Democrats are too incapacitated to even remove Biden’s name from their convention platform. Unable to define women, they conceal their crowded antisemitic wing. When Jon Stewart mocks your hypocrisy, it’s over.
