Scholars warn that another American civil war is increasingly plausible, if still unlikely; professional political commentators express greater concerns. This study examines the likelihood of another U.S. civil war by comparing perspectives of the 1850s with those of today by using a negative social capital framework as the analytic lens. The analysis finds striking similarities between the two periods. Yet, civil war is a relatively rare phenomenon in developed countries, and the analysis also points to contemporary mitigating examples. At least for the foreseeable future, more likely are trajectories moving toward other types of social unrest short of civil war: ongoing civil strife, additional insurrections, decades-long intraregional political gridlock causing widespread administrative dysfunction, and even a failure to relinquish power. The negative social psychology has already had an extraordinary impact on public administration and is unlikely to decrease in the near term; it may yet increase exponentially as it did in the 1860s.”CSUSB summarizes the study by stating "Overall, the authors found deep similarities, such as the demonization of opponents, ideological narrowing of news sources, and the success of champions of polarization. While they find the likelihood of a “hot” civil war still low based on the comparative study barring a trigger event, they find the likelihood of other types of social and political upheaval to be very high for the foreseeable future." As we jump forward to 2025, as we see multiple events leading up to the "trigger," that could set the entire nation, divided by the two political parties, to war with each other, but as the actual violence since President Trump took office has come from the left, in protest of his policies, the media has suddenly switched directions to the "democrat civil war from within." Suddenly the media doesn't want to discuss the true civil war between Democrats and Republicans, now that only one group, the liberal faction of the Democrat party, are out there shooting up Telsa dealerships, fire bombing Tesla cars, in protest of Elon Musk pushing the Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to find waste and fraud in government spending, then suggest massive cuts, and protests are being planned against the Trump administration. As we remember from the past Trump term, when the George Floyd riots were seeing buildings vandalized, businesses destroyed, some even set on fire leading to a massive spread in some liberally run cities, the media did their best to convince the public the "protests," which were actually full on riots, were "mostly peaceful." The MSM made it very clear back then what "side" they were on, and did their level best to protect the arsons, vandals and criminals destroying the cities. They are following that same power now trying to distract from the actual liberal violence, which could in fact trigger fighting across the nation into a true civil war, to focus on the democrat infighting between the centrists and the radical liberal extremists within the Democrat party. They could report on both, but suddenly the liberal news outlets would rather focus on one, rather than acknowledge the potential for fighting in the streets between the two parties, because at some point, conservatives are going to stand up and say enough and deal with it themselves.
