Wash Times: First Shots Of Second American Civil War Have Been Fired

I wrote it to Always on Watch and Midnight Rider this morning in a text conversation about the Steve Scalise shooting. Always on Watch agrees.

I did not want to go on record with such a statement, because I don't want to be incendiary.

But I am having a hard time seeing this any other way.

And now Washington Times says it. In fact, it appears they published this editorial BEFORE news of the Scalise shooting broke.

I wonder what they'd have to say on the subject in retrospect.

Two is a coincidence. Three is a trend.

From the Washington Times:

The first skirmishes of a second American civil war have begun. No, this is not a metaphorical analogy to that bloody conflict that killed approximately 620,000 Americans. It is an objective statement of the reality in America. 

Since the election of 2016, the left has gone crazy. Their version of the Tea Party is called “Resistance” and the spearhead of that is a loosely formed terrorist group called “Antifa.” Antifa is short for Anti-Fascist. The irony of their name is not lost on those who actually know history, as their tactics are straight from the fascist playbook. 

In the last few months, these groups have repeatedly disrupted peaceful pro-Trump rallies. They have called for and used violence against people who support the president, disagree with them and even against members of the media who will report things Antifa doesn’t want reported.

AND THEN THERE'S THIS:

Huff Post Writer Calls For Violent ‘Resistence’ Which Is More ‘Organized’

For violent resistance to work it'd need to be organized. Individual acts can be understandable, but likely counterproductive/ineffective.
