make no mistake, we are in fact in civil war.
Agreed. It hasn't become a shooting war yet, but we've been involved in a cold civil war for a while now. The non-stop rhetoric against Trump since the last election -- much of it without basis but incessantly repeated by the Progressives to woo the soft-minded -- gives testimony to this. The continued assault by academia, media and the Progressive Democrats on the ideals, morals, ethics and institutions that have proven to uphold society in the Western world since the Enlightenment is also solid evidence of this civil war. In one way it is a war on real liberalism and it is most certainly a war on Western civilization.
