Nearly A Third Of Americans Believe A Second Civil War Is On The Horizon

Task & Purpose – by Jared Keller

A new poll confirms that a significant number of Americans have the health of the Union on their mind.

A national survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports indicates that a full 31% of American voters believe the U.S. “will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years,” while 59% of voters see the prospect of a nation-dividing conflict unlikely. Add in the (I assume) 10% of voters who had no opinion on the matter and that’s 69% of voters who aren’t worried — which is, you know, nice. I’m a glass half full kind of guy.  

Here’s some more information from the Rasmussen poll to mull over:

  • The last time Americans were this fearful of a civil war was during the second year of President Barack Obama’s first term, when the Tea Party fervor that followed his election delivered Republicans both chambers of Congress.
  • Rasmussen found that Democrats are most “fearful” of a civil war with 37%, followed by Republicans at 32%, and independent voters with 26%.
  • It’s worth noting that while “most” voters are worried about political violence from “from those opposed to Trump’s policies,” a whopping 59% of all voters, regardless of political affiliation, believe that “that those critical of the media’s coverage of Trump will resort to violence.” That is pretty insane.
  • Then there’s race: “Forty-four percent (44%) of blacks think a second civil war is likely in the next five years, a view shared by 28% of whites and 36% of other minority voters,” Rasmussen reports.

The polling comes on the heels of a political scientist’s concern for the United States heading for a “soft civil war” sparked a lively discussion over at The Long March. One of my T&P colleagues made a salient point to me regarding this type of polling. “I find conversations about a civil war dangerous in themselves,” he told me, adding that “the idea is really starting to take hold.” Which brings me back to Tom Ricks’ question over at The Long March: Why do rational people continue to express such concerns?

  1. The war will be between American Nationals and the foreign invaders that the psychopathic, Communist, Socialist, Zionist, sociopaths have been bringing by the train car full into America, along with the people who are too stupid to realize they have been invaded and instead support them. Next time you see a “protest”, look at those assembled there. It’s the same foreign invaders demanding more and more for themselves and those they want to bring here to join the invasion.

    1. I was thinkin’ the same thing. If nationals can unite to fight the invasion we’d get somewhere. Henry got my attention when he called the kids “human shields.” That is exactly how they’re being used while the toxic media begs for our sympathy. That’s child-abuse, too.

      I listen to the Europeans and their invasion is even more rapid than ours. The whole thing feels hemispheric – west, and north. Yesterday, for the first time, I heard the term “Weaponized Immigration.” Wow, and really, it is just another way of saying INVASION, but what a weapon it is: supplanting, giving the boot. I wonder exactly when one knows one is at one’s wits end.

    It’s probably the “nearly a third” that shows up at the polls on election days. Thinking people know that the problem is not their fellow Americans.

  3. Yes, I agree but the civil war will this time not really be a civil war. A civil war is a conflict in a country between the citizens of said country. This conflict will be between Americans and foreigners that should not be here mixed with the traitors that are so ignorant they are trading their lives to support people that want to eliminate them. The American veterans, first responders and thousands upon thousands of so called preppers in this country are armed to the teeth and very well trained and will not only drive what is left of these invaders out of this country but also remove the traitors in D.C. The penalty for treason will be enforced and the justice will be swift. I have heard many say this theory is incorrect because there is no way the American people can defeat the US military. The majority of those serving in the military right now will turn on this evil government as soon as the real tyranny begins. They operate all the weapons of war the communist scum in D.C. rely on to protect their asses. So they will turn to the U.N. At that point this war will evolve into a battle for our country against a foreign invading force from the U.N. Those in D.C. underestimate our loyalty. We gave an oath, a promise to the people of this country and to God to protect this country from enemies both foreign and domestic. Unfortunately this is the only way the United States can be saved now. There are only a few decent people left in our government. The corruption runs through every vein at both the federal and state level. The rest are evil, many satanic. They have one goal. The destruction of this country and the birth of the new world order. With each tic and tock we get closer to this battle. I for one pray that it is sooner rather than later. I would gladly sacrifice my life to ensure the safety and security of the United States of America. The preservation of our Constitution as it was written by our founders. And a future for my children and grandchildren full of opportunity.
