Murmurings of Civil War Are Becoming Commonplace
If Trump wins and the riots in cities and towns increases exponentially, could citizen militias feel the need to come out and put down the violence?
If Biden wins could those same militias decide that they won't even suffer one term under the Leftist agenda and so mobilize and refuse to submit?
It's possible that we are in the final weeks of relative calm before the inevitable storm breaks out in November.
Here's one more article that speaks of potential mess scenarios that could play out. Also please note this is written by a black author.
Last week in this space, I illustrated how liberalism has been nothing more than the soft-socialist wedge radical leftists have used over the last several decades to incrementally advance a megalithic socialist state. Further, that our 50 years of employing tolerance, fair play, guarded rhetoric and capitulating to liberal demands has given rise to the radical factions that are spearheading the budding communist revolution we see taking place around us, the most notable example being the violent demonstrations that are taking place in many of our cities.
Early on in the process, I pointed out the imperative for President Donald Trump handling this unpleasantness with extreme caution, lest his action or inaction be interpreted as tacit support for racism and police brutality against black Americans (the pretext being used to justify the rioting).
Recently, the failure of Democratic governors, mayors and other officials to act against rioters in these beleaguered localities prompted conservative commentator and film maker Dinesh D'Souza to address the issue in starkly sobering fashion. In an interview earlier this week, D'Souza said that ongoing rioting could lead to the rise of citizen militias if societal tensions are not quickly deescalated.
Stressing the fact that he was predicting this possibility rather than advocating for it, D'Souza pointed out that otherwise law-abiding citizens will soon have no other alternative in the face of local governments and state governors allowing the rioting to continue (due to their ideological kinship with the rioters), ordering law enforcement to stand down while hiring private security teams to protect their persons and property.
D'Souza's admonitions aren't at all out-of-turn, either. As the rioting has continued in our major cities and expanded to many others, murmurings of civil war have become almost commonplace.
At this juncture, I am quite certain that many Americans would like to see someone – even citizen militias – decisively neutralize Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters. I would also not be surprised in the least if meetings have been taking places in community centers, churches, garages and other locations across the country in which distressed citizens are discussing their options. It is my considered opinion that citizen militias have not yet arisen for many of the same reasons that our president has been markedly reserved in meeting force with force, respect for the rule of law being chief among these.
I hold a couple of beliefs that I'm sure many of my fellow citizens will find controversial, even in the face of the communist revolution taking place under our noses. The first is that civil war – and all the unpleasantness this conjures – would be a far superior outcome to radical leftists gaining ascendancy. The second is that it is time for those perpetuating violence in our cities to be neutralized with extreme prejudice. I'm not going to attempt to justify these positions; they're simply offered to provide context.
Given the unprecedented level of antipathy leftists have demonstrated for our president, the illegal attempted coup (impeachment proceedings) against him, the ginned-up anti-racism movement and the protracted rioting, it doesn't take a political strategist to see that Washington Democrats and their surrogates (including the radical factions fomenting violent demonstrations) do not intend to suffer another Trump term, regardless of what the electorate has to say. Whether or not the rioting is halted prior to the general election in November, there's every reason to believe it will either escalate or erupt anew when President Trump secures reelection.
Still, the possibility of citizen militias mobilizing to combat our internal enemies carries severe implications. The rise of citizen militias may in fact be the quickest route to touching off the civil war most of us would rather avoid.

Yes, I think we would all like to avoid a civil war. But I don't see how the win of Biden or Trump is going to pull the country closer together. It would appear that we are in a lose-lose situation. The best outcome might be if Trump can win by a wide margin. If he ends up winning with 60% or more of the popular vote, even his ardent haters might see that they overplayed their hand and pushed the socialism-racism-hate Trump rhetoric too far. It would prove that even the middle Americans who don't like Trump believe that law and order are the foundations that HAVE to be maintained to have a civil society...and they voted Trump because they see him as the man most capable and willing to keep the peace.
Pray for America. And maybe get out and enjoy these next 7 weeks of pre-election peace. Because things could really choppy come November.
