November 3rd, 2020 culminated years, no, DECADES of straying from the civic foundation of our nation. The journey has been an incremental one, but has accelerated to one of giant leaps and bounds in recent years away from the Godly, Constitutional REPRESENTATIVE republic we began with. So, why do I say we are headed for a civil war?
In a word, UNDERSTANDING. In this case, understanding of our system of government, how it was founded, and the benefits of our system of government when compared to every other form of government in the history of the world to this point. And even MORE to the point, the problem is LACK of understanding.
How did we get to the point of this lack of understanding? Lack of education, and transition to indoctrination. Most schools today teach only a very superficial level of civics. Ask a high school senior or most college students today a series of civics questions that go deeper than who was the first president, and the overwhelming majority will not be able to answer them. What are the Federalist Papers? How was the Constitution ratified? What struggles were there in ratification? Why are we a REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC, and NOT a democracy? Why did states INSIST on the electoral college as part of our system of national elections? What would our country look like WITHOUT the electoral college? Why didn’t we start by adopting something resembling socialism? Has socialism EVER succeeded ANYWHERE in the world? In the world’s history, what has socialism ALWAYS resulted in? These and many, many more topics were things that CITIZENS were once upon a time REQUIRED to learn in school. Part of being a responsible citizen, and casting an EDUCATED vote, is thoroughly understanding how your government is SUPPOSED to work. If you don’t know your history, and you don’t know WHY your government is the way it is, you can EASILY be lied to and fooled into believing any number of falsehoods concerning government. Thus, the INDOCTRINATION most of our students are receiving now at the hands of teachers who were first NOT educated, and THEN indoctrinated into a system of beliefs that is not based in reality, and which seeks to destroy our Constitution and the Republic. Think I’m getting ahead of my skis? How many stories have you heard of “teachers” literally humiliating, or school systems punishing students who espouse a conservative viewpoint or for wearing something with conservative logos? Dozens, perhaps hundreds. How many stories have you heard of the opposite, where a student is humiliated by a teacher for espousing a leftist viewpoint? I won’t say it has never happened, but if it has, it is so infrequent as to not even register on the national radar. This is ONE SIDED indoctrination, in a system that has been slowly and insidiously taken over by leftists/socialists/communists who HATE what our nation stands for. Nikita Khrushchev, the former Soviet communist dictator, predicted this would happen.
That is the short version of how we have gotten to the point where half of the population is willing to vote for a candidate whose platform does not contain a SINGLE thing that is based in OUR Constitution. If you open a copy of our Constitution, and sit it side by side with the Ten Pillars of Communism, then look at each point in the democrat party platform, you will not find ONE thing they support that is Constitutionally based.
Now that we are in the aftermath of the November 3rd election, and awaiting the final outcome, with half of the country that has NO understanding of civics, half that does, and a system that has been compromised to the point that NEITHER side trusts it, it doesn’t matter WHO ultimately wins the election, half of the voters will not accept the outcome. The civically uneducated half have also not been raised as ADULTS who can cope with life in general, and can’t handle not getting their way. This is the half that will FORCE us into a civil war. They are ALREADY burning down cities, shooting police officers, threatening to storm the White House to “remove” President Trump, threatening to “punish” Trump supporters simply for voting for Trump, etc, etc. The left does NOT say let’s have a FAIR election that is fully transparent. They do NOT allow people from the opponent’s side to simultaneously verify votes and processes so NO ONE can say anything was done illegitimately. No. The left in areas they control, exclude their opponents from poll watching, verifying signatures, counting ballots, monitoring election machines, etc. The left demands removal of safeguards designed to prevent corruption at the ballot box. So, when one side demands fairness, and will accept whatever the outcome as long as it’s fair, and the other side demands cheating and will only accept the outcome they want, the outcome is going to be predictable. Civil war.
The only way to legitimately head it off now in a way that no one could argue with would be to do the election over again. This time, it MUST be done with STRICT controls, deadlines, and thorough oversight of EVERY part of the process by BOTH sides so that NO ONE can say at the end of the day that the other side cheated. What are the odds that will happen? ZERO.
So, what alternative remains in a country so divided, with one side that refuses to even attempt consensus, and refuses any concession to the other side? As I see it, the LAST opportunity to avoid bloodshed is for both sides to go their separate ways. That means an old-fashioned word known as SECESSION. We agree to divide the nation, do our own thing, and leave the other side alone. We can trade with each other, but there is no TAKING or redistribution. How would this play out? Think of who produces the overwhelming majority of things in this country, and where they are produced. It’s NOT in the deep blue cities that dominate the POPULAR vote in this country. Your food is grown largely by conservatives. Most of the things you NEED to survive on a day to day basis are produced by conservatives, in conservative states. If red and blue states separate, within a week when the store shelves stop being stocked by trucks coming from conservative states, you will see a zombie apocalypse in the “blue country.” That will mean either BEGGING us to reunite, or the same civil war we saw in the 1860s, but for somewhat different reasons.
Again, do I think either of these will ACTUALLY be the chosen path, and will either of these avoid a bloody civil war? No. I pray to God for a civil, peaceful, Constitutional resolution to our problems. But I just don’t see it happening. I fear a civil war is inevitable, and a lot closer than we think.
