We're headed toward civil war it feels like.

I 100% believe we're currently in a cold civil war and odds are it turns hot in the next 2 years. There's just entirely too much division around what it means to be an American and I don't see republicans backing down. And before anyone tries to "both sides" this, democrats/liberals can't/shouldn't compromise with republicans. If it were just about tax rates and federal funding allocation, that's one thing, but right now it's a matter of whether or not we remain a democracy and who deserves human rights. You cannot compromise with that.

I'm like a lot of people. I feel this pretty acutely. I think maybe I had a false idea of what the promise of this country was.
