A civil war would turn this country into a hell hole. If you survive you're gonna wish you were dead because every single moment of your new life you'll be thinking of how good "it use to be". Sure, this country is going in the wrong direction but a civil war is not the answer.
It is people like you who will ruin this country in the long run.
So much of the history of the struggle between good and evil can be explained by Edmund Burke's observation. Time and again those who profess to be good seem to clearly outnumber those who are evil, yet those who are evil seem to prevail far too often. Seldom is it the numbers that determine the outcome, but whether those who claim to be good men are willing to stand up and fight for what they know to be right

Personally I would not want to live in servitude. I would rather fight for freedom and die than live as a slave. I guess you don't care. Good luck with that.

The thing is we do have a certain amount of say in this but also we must remain vigilant due to the potential for spillover effects... Obviously we not only want whats best for the Americans and ourselves but for the rest of the world.. and if we are to be a shining beacon of freedom for the world we better start acting like it.
Or else it gives reason for the events to manifest in the first place...
I just didn't appreciate the fat hippo spouting off at me when im not even American
