Everything Polarizes

 I used to have a good 100+ thread on the impending Civil War up on twitter.  I started it about 3 years ago when such talk was still considered crazy.  Of course, that disappeared when twitter started its massive purges and identity based wrongthink.

I miss that thread. It would be useful to go back and analyze the warning signs...

With Parler down, here's a couple more of the most worrisome things for me.  The "protect the capital" dynamic, while seemingly protecting things and rallying people against violence, is doing the exact opposite.  I don't think there's a doubt it's needed. It was certainly needed during the BLM firebomb summer of love. (Remember when Trump was evacuated to the safe room... as the mobs were close to breaching the fence and one made it over...?)

The thing that seems to be happening is that Trumpists are fighting back over the over-reach narrative that any violence is all his fault.  They're scapegoating Antifa. This is partially true but obviously not fully true.

I think the accurate meme is "authoritarianism will continue until democracy improves". That should be Pelosi's catch phrase.  Unfortunately I suspect that's the new state of normal for the US. 

Corona lock downs opened the door for all sorts of normalizations "because emergency".
