Poll: Majority believes U.S. is two-thirds of the way to the ‘edge of a civil war’

New polling results show that most American believe the political divisions in the country are getting worse, with a majority believing the U.S. is two-thirds of the way to the “Edge of civil war”. The poll conducted with likely 2020 voters showed that are frustrated by ‘uncivil and rude behavior’. While the data shows that 8 in 10 voters wanted both “compromise and common ground” as well as leaders who “will stand up to the other side”.
According to the results:
The average voter believes the U.S. is two-thirds of the way to the edge of a civil war. On a 0-100 scale with 100 being “edge of a civil war,” the mean response is 67.23.
Consistent with the Civility Poll’s findings in April, this installment of the poll reveals significant contradictions within the electorate. Voters broadly agree with the premise that our political culture has become too uncivil and lacks a focus on solutions, and that common ground and compromise should be the goal for political leaders—while at the same time, equal numbers want leaders to “stand up to the other side” and stand up to “powerful special interests.”
While these results may seem shocking, they are in down from ninety percent (90%) of voters reporting they are concerned about the “uncivil and rude behavior of politicians,” in a similar survey from April.

Context considerations.

All of this should be taken in context of the ‘Hidden tribes’ study of 2018 which had only 8% of the respondents classify themselves as ‘progressive Activists’ while 19% and 6% considered themselves to ‘traditional conservatives’ or ‘devoted conservatives’ respectively. While the rest of the nation fell into the ‘exhausted majority’ in the middle with traditional and passive liberals, the politically disengaged and moderates.
So while all of this news may be alarming to some, or merely confirming to others, it should be considered in the context of the makeup of the country. Most people want to live their lives and be left alone, that accounts for about 90% of the nation.

To the surprise of no one, criminals across the country are exploiting the chaos to steal guns

In an epic failure of liberty control, the current chaos is giving thieves a perfect opportunity to try and steal some guns. Criminals across the country have been trying to take advantage of the chaos to burglarise gun stores, attempting to break into the shops and steal what they can. This while law enforcement has been busy with the protests and looting that broke out everywhere. Some have noted a decided increase in this type of crime, with the thieves only meeting partial success. Word has it that the ATF has complimented some stores for their security measures that prevented loss of inventory to the miscreants. If anything, this should show that  liberty control  is a fool’s errand since criminals will always find a way to obtain guns. The end result of these policies is that the innocent and even law enforcement are then at the mercy of the worst of society.

Gun Confiscation SWATing: Shooting down due process

A new video from the Firearms Policy Coalition highlights the dangers to Liberty and due process posed by so-called ‘Red Flag’ Laws. Gun confiscation SWATing, Extreme risk protective orders or so-call ‘Red Flag’ Laws are all the rage of the Liberty grabber Left and RINO’s these days. It’s bad enough that these unnecessary and unconstitutional violations of everyone’s due process rights are being ‘Rahmed’ through on a state level. But both the US House and Senate have their own versions. The latter co-sponsored by Senator Marco ‘RINO’ Rubio (R-FL) with the Senate Judiciary Committee to hold hearings on March 26 . In a case of trying to solve a rare but emotionally charged problem, these will only serve to create an even bigger problem destroying several civil and human rights in the process. We’ve already established that this type of legislation is unnecessary since Involuntary Civil Commitment laws that protect due process rights are already on the books. Thus we hav
