Sounds like my brother in law.Good point. We have friends that watch Fox News - and they are rabid pro Trump despite being Canadian. And refuse to take the vaccine.

First thing is ban Fox News - the more extreme right wingers.
Just ban the comment section.

Three retired U.S. generals warned in a chilling column Friday that another coup attempt in America in 2024 could divide the military and plunge an unprepared nation into civil war.
“With the country still as divided as ever, we must take steps to prepare for the worst,” wrote former Army Major Gen. Paul Eaton, former Brigadier Gen. Steven Anderson and former Army Major Gen. Antonio Taguba.
As the nation nears the first anniversary of the Capitol riot, the generals are “increasingly concerned about the aftermath of the 2024 presidential election and the potential for lethal chaos inside our military, which would put all Americans at severe risk,” they wrote in The Washington Post.

Take what seriously? The potential of US Civil War II?What is it about that stuff that prompts some people to take it seriously?
Yes lets celebrate censorship......
There was a time I liked Fox. It was nice to hear news from a different, more conservative, editorial slant. Something different from the centre-left pablum other outlets offered.Yes lets celebrate censorship......
That would probably be a short and boring debate. Journeyman’s done a fair bit of stuff, but I’m not sure he brings much to the table on extremism and radicalization…Yes lets celebrate censorship......
Gen. Mike Hayden, former head of the NSA and the CIA, seems to take it seriously. Some people's opinions tend to carry more weight than others.What is it about that stuff that prompts some people to take it seriously?
One side, "civil war," the other, "revolution."Very few want a civil war, but many like to talk about one ...
Twitter is just that - twitter. Its garbage.Things like Twitter don't help either. From Trumps garbage to this recentl trash by Bette Midler.

Agreed on the want. But I think it’s a matter of feeling as well. How many on either side actually believe or think that a civil war could or would happen soon or in their lifetime?Very few want a civil war, but many like to talk about one. Angry and frustrated people often talk a lot of nonsense about what they'd like to see happen. I doubt the people who thought "WMD in Iraq", or "Russian collusion", or "Biden's laptop could be Russian disinformation" were among things that "sounded about right" are to be relied upon.
Given the division that exists in US politics and even in the cultural makeup of the US, one can see why many would think that it could happen.
