So, Kathy Griffin has gotten in trouble, again, this time for suggesting a vote for Republicans this fall is a vote for “civil war.” Well, she’s right. Sorta. There are no assurances one way or another that we’re going to have a civil war, but if Republicans gain control of Congress this fall, the likelihood of a civil war definitely does increase significantly.
I say this because the United States is very unstable right now and pretty much any outcome this fall is only going to make matters worse. If Republicans win the House, then there’s a chance of Speaker Trump. Meanwhile, if they lose, there’s a chance of severe political violence because they didn’t get what they wanted.
Anyway, the point is — pray. Things are growing dark in America and are only going to get worse as the days progress. There’s not much we can do, though. We’ve collectively given up and we just don’t have the political will to avoid autocracy or civil war.
