revolution: country united against external enemy
depression/wwii: country united against internal enemy who is not a person or group of people/country united against external enemy
civil war: country divided against itself, intense identity politics/"culture war," people from the two sides feel like they no longer have anything in common
2008-202?: country divided against itself, intense identity politics/"culture war," people from the two sides feel like they no longer have anything in common
Again and again, race proves to be this nation's Achilles heel. Add a racial dimension to the crisis (such as...a black president and a resulting huge increase in political polarization in 2010, for example) and it's all over.
This Cold Civil War will end with resignation, not glory. We should all pray that 1/6/21 was the climax.
