More and More Americans See Civil War Coming
I saw on the news this morning that Pres. Trump went to a World Series Game in Washington D.C. and got booed. Then some folks started a chant, "Lock him up! Lock him up!" It continues to get ugly out there. I don't worry about Trump because I believe he loves the back and forth taunting that goes on.
So then I turned on Rapture Ready and saw this blurb from their weekly commentary called NEARING MIDNIGHT.
For the past couple years, the quarterly donation drive has been a good reference point to reflect on the rapid disintegration of our nation. We have had a couple upturns over the past two years, but the vast majority of quarters have seen the moral standing go from bad to worse.
We are quickly headed to the point where there will be open warfare. Partisan political division and the resulting incivility have reached a low in America, with 67% believing that the nation is nearing civil war, according to a new national survey.
“The majority of Americans believe that we are two-thirds of the way to being on the edge of civil war. That to me is a very pessimistic place,” said Mo Elleithee, the executive director of Georgetown University’s Institute of Politics and Public Service.
The political division is likely to make the upcoming 2020 presidential race the nastiest in modern history. The election is just over a year away, and it will be one of the most fateful votes in American history. If Trump wins, there will be chaos. If Trump loses, there will be an equal amount of bedlam.
We also believe that if something doesn't change that the small battles between Trump supporters and detractors might start with swearing, spitting, pushing and punching as we have already seen when Trump was here in Minneapolis. But soon those might turn into baseball bats, knives, Molotov cocktails and ultimately guns and cars mowing down those with whom they disagree.
All it would take is for our financial system to fall into the toilet, and massive unrest could be the result.
Civil Wars don't start overnight with the declaration of war issued by Congress. They start in the streets with neighbors pushing neighbors.
God help us. As we turn from Him as a nation and are determined to seek our own ways...increasing violence are a near certainty.

I agree that the level of unrest seems to be on the rise. My son and I went to see Dennis Prager and Larry Elder, two men that have strong views but are always the pinnacle of courtesy when talking with those with whom they disagree. I counted six plain clothes, armed security guards!
Thankfully nothing happened and perhaps they were just taking a "better to be safe than sorry" approach, but it is another example of how close we are to a boiling point as a nation.
