    I see a lot of people (who are not Americans) speculating on the prospect of an American Civil War Part II, but I live here and I’m not seeing it. That’s what Jan 6th was supposed to be, and it didn’t work. The people that like him are like him- loudmouthed blowhards with no critical thinking skills. There will be no civil war. Our democracy is broken and our politics are a joke, but there’s not going to be full out war over this. We eat too well.

      I hope you’re right. The fact all the polling data puts Trump at an almost 50% chance of being re-elected if allowed to run is not encouraging, and it’s almost like the closer we get to locking him up (or out), the more popular he becomes.

      His followers lack critical thinking skills. But so does the overwhelming majority of the population. That was really my point.
