Could America have a 2nd Sivil War?

Sometimes I wonder how far things can go.

A far left majority in 2020 or later?

Could at least one state (preferably SC or NC :) rebel and leave the union if that happens?

Or will we just turn left and eventually become insignificant in the world?

Is America the next Britain? France?

India and China become the next great super powers if for no other reason then economic clout based on populations that are coming out of poverty?
Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    The country isn't divided along north & south now, it's divided by liberal & conservative.

    As long as we have a bias liberal and contemptible media with an agenda of spreading fear and hate, the possibility is there.

    Think that's closer,, didn't add progressive because that's the same as Communist/Marxist.

    Likely it would be central US vs. the coasts.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Probably the only hope America has to survive.

    Will it be a shooting war??? Probably.

    I thought it a strong possibility before the last election. Now, not so much. God saved us from it through Trump.

    If Congress doesn't screw the President again (failing to pass his tax reform program,) then we are going to see an economic BOOM like we haven't experienced since Reagan - and probably greater than Reagan's.

    If that happens, many, many millions of good-paying jobs are going to be created and many people's lives are going to get MUCH better very quickly.

    That will put the Socialrats very much on the defensive, and weaken their political strength tremendously.

    The Republicans would have to screw up tremendously not to win again in 2020 - or even 2024 and 2028.

    If Hilly had gotten in we would have likely had a War when she tried to confiscate American's firearms, but that's not going to happen now.

    I truly think the President has a chance to turn America back to the way it was before the Socialrats started to turn America leftward, in the 60's.

    I am mostly encouraged by what we're seeing now, and we'll likely see in the near future.

    Encourage California to become a country. Can you imagine how many problems would go there?. AND, once there NO COMING BACK.

    I believe it will be isolated large cities left to the lawless. Do the movies Escape from New York, Escape from L.A. seem possible?

    Most rural areas of states have republic, constitution thinking populations that do not have to have a nanny state to take care of them to exist.

    So the hipsters think that they can change the way the wanting population can cohabitate living off each other. Communism running amuck, what is mine is mine,what is yours is mine also.

    communists teachers teaching our young children, indoctrinating our young people to not have to think for themselves. That the government knows what you shall need to make your neighbors life equal to yours.

    Umm try that on...

    Everyone should stop worrying. Things are going to get better. We are going to put more laws in place, hire more police, grow the alphabet agencies, and encourage more diversity. Relief is just around the corner.

    I see more of a four way split. Idaho to East where the buffalos roam would sit out. Washington state to Mexico and East to Texas will be Nuevo Mexico. East of Texas to Florida and North to D.C. will be the New South. Everything left will be New New York.

    Don't look for NC to lead the charge... This state is crap full of democraps!

    SC... Now that's a sincere possibility!

    Not that I am a great speller however this time it was intentional to avoid auto censor ( I didn't think it let us use the War of Northern Aggression )
