In a 2018 Rasmussen poll 31 percent of Americans said a second civil war is
likely in the next five years.
That’s not too surprising, given the general tenor of the political debate
in this country right now.
“There’s probably never been a base in the history of politics in this
country like my base,” President Trump said in an interview. “I hope the
other side realizes that they better just take it easy. They better just
take it easy.”
It's notable that in other questions, 59 percent of these voters were
worried that opponents of President Trump will resort to violence, compared
to 53 percent who believe that “those critical of the media’s coverage of
President Trump” will commit violence. That weird wording, an obvious
attempt to avoid the phrase “Trump supporters,” could account for the
difference in the two numbers.
So whether they expect a civil war or not, a large number of Americans take
seriously the threat of violence from those who oppose their views, whatever
they are. That seems like a prime indicator for Civil War II, if not
American Revolution II.
