We’re already in the first throes of the Second American Civil War, we just haven’t started calling it that yet
Edit: throws to throes because I’m a dumb southern hillbilly

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If this is a civil war, then what are the two sides? Where are the front lines?
Texas is sending their troops (National Guard) to Oregon to fight people in Portland.
The Oregon National Guard, State Police, and all county sheriff's along the Oregon border should place roadblocks, and refuse entry to their state by any out-of-state armed military or law enforcement entity.
California should also close off their roadways to Oregon. Make them come in from Idaho or Nevada.
If you want in so bad, try to shoot your way in. See how well that works out for you.
The truth is the voters in states like Oregon don't actually have command of their own police forces. The police don't answer to elected politicians. They're an independent occupying force that answers only to themselves. And they support the regime.
Voters vote for Sheriffs. They also vote for Mayors, who appoint police chiefs. The voters DEFINITELY have an influence in who operates their local law enforcement - IF they choose to exercise that influence.
