This is how the Middlle East HAD their Civil WARS
Take note of that last synonym folks.
I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.
War is a racket (1935)
"My interest is, my one hobby is, maintaining a democracy. If you get these 500,000 soldiers advocating anything smelling of Fascism, I am going to get 500,000 more and lick the hell out of you, and we will have a real war right at home."
Reply to Gerald MacGuire, after being asked to organize WWI veterans (for military support) in a fascist-coup of FDR, as related by Butler in testimony before Congress, 1934. A reporter (a Butler confidant) testified MacGuire said, "We might go along with Roosevelt and then do with him what Mussolini did with the King of Italy." Which was, made him a figure-head.

I saw the same thing during Obama's presidency and we made it through that. Now that the pendulum has swung the other way it's the end of America? Nope, I don't think so.
...and you can keep responding with opinions and never any real facts or critical thought.

You can type paragraph after paragraph insisting that poster wasn't correct, but he is.
Partisan thinking will never allow you to admit otherwise.
You claim the MSM is brainwashing citizens, but I doubt you see why its ironic considering the OP of this thread.

Sure.
Actually, a couple kids out having lunch/dinner were minding their own business when some dude walked up, took their cap and aggressively threw a cup of ice on them.
Oh! Another time, these people were playing Baseball, Scalise and they were shot by a leftist loon.
Yeah, sure, lets turn off our radios and pretend stupid crap doesn't happen.
Btw, that first story, down the street from me.

What have you personally done except bitch about it on this website? I would wager you've done nothing except sit in your computer chair and complain about it. Good job, you're doing a lot.

It is only a continuation of a trend that we have been inching toward for years now.
Like another poster suggested: turn off the TV and get of the internet and quit actively looking for your next dose of outrage. Go outside and ignore the static and you'll see nothing has changed other than your access to the information "they" are happily feeding to you.
