Last month, President Donald Trump, facing the threat of impeachment, quoted Pastor Robert Jeffress in a tweet saying “if the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal.”
A new poll suggest he might be right.
According to the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service survey, the average American voter believes the U.S. is two-thirds of the way toward the “edge of a civil war.” The poll asked voters to rate the division in the country from zero to 100, with 100 being defined as the “edge of civil war.”
The average response came in at 67.23.
“Restoring a higher level of civility to our politics will take a dedicated and courageous group of Republicans, Democrats, and members of the media to reject the easy tactics of uncivil rhetoric that paints opponents as enemies,” Republican Ed Goeas of the Tarrance Group said in the release.
The poll, which interviewed 1,000 registered voters, also showed most Americans believe the political, racial and class divide is widening. The source of that division, of course, depends on which side of the aisle answered the question.
Republicans blame the Democrats, Twitter TWTR, -18.68% , papers like the New York Times NYT, -0.03% and favorite Trump target CNN. Democrats point the finger at Fox News, wealthy special interests, and President Trump.
“Our Civility Poll finds that 80% of voters say that they both demand compromise from political leaders, but want political leaders who will stand up to the other side,” said Mo Elleithee, executive director of the Georgetown Institute of Politics and Public Service. “That creates mixed messages for even the most skilled political leader trying to decide whether to be a fighter or a dealmaker.”

Bravo for posting the truth above.
Most conservatives don’t get it through their thick skulls that the police are mainly enforcers for the political class. Period.
In fact, police are not hired for being mental giants–people applying for these jobs scoring hi on IQ tests are excluded from employment.
Fact.
Police forces are holding grounds for other retards exiting the military–where these retards carry their ‘mili-tard’ mentality with them into civilian policing.
You could not torture constitutional concepts into these fat-headed fucks with a lit road-flare.
Just go to You Tube and search the term, ‘cops out of control’ to see what is going on.
The list of actions by the OP is just a snowflake atop a Mount Everest of transgressions.
In fact–just your regular doo-dah police force commits more grievances in a single week than those outlined in the Declaration Of Independence against the then king of England.
The only think missing is that they are not quartering troops in private homes–not yet that is.
You run-of-the-mill LEO is just in it for a regular paycheck and pension. Period.
And these fools will do anything they are told to do, regardless, because they are given immunity from their actions.
If you want to stay alive–stay away from the police.
Vote &Shin,do not know why you folks negged for telling the truth.I am not saying all cops are bad,but if they enforce unconstitutionally/hide&cover up for “bad apples”then they are a enemy of the public,along with their masters.
There’s no shortage of authoritarian statists here on TBP. Ironically many of them claim to be conservatives.
They found a loophole to violate the third amendment. Just use cops instead of the military.

We should stop appointing new judges to the bench until we have hung all of the current judges.
We might want to take a look at the politicians, too.

That is one nasty nasty.
Civil war will not solve the problems in American society. The American people have been whipped up into such frenzy, on the left and right, that nothing short of revolutionary war will satiate the anger. This will include the obligatory blood letting( think French Revolution). The purveyors of the frenzy must be held to account. Civil war will only help strengthen and concentrate more power in the federal government as they will say they need more power to protect us from each other ( think CWI).
The picture says it all. Women not focused on families insert themselves into politics which they are not suited for. Meanwhile faggots are not thrown from rooftops. And men are feminized on processed food and estrogen analogues.
Civil War is yet another topic being pushed by the media. Divide and conquer. There are professional agitators, hired to create strife and push agendas. Remember Ferguson? How many also remember how Obama sent little agitators who worked for the DOJ into the area to stir the shit? Obuttboy was all for civil war and racial strife, note how things have calmed down in the race arena now that he’s gone?

Agreed-look at how mant articles there are, extolling.
Cornell West, a devout SPLIVOCRAT is calling for and organizing RIOTS every Saturday till trump is gone. Hong Kong style riots, not pussy riots.
Mary posted the links on Uncola’s article.
Maybe we should join them and make the whole of government go away. Without its uncivil impositions we could perhaps live civilly. Silly fairy tale this good government nonsense.
Here is the poll: http://politics.georgetown.edu/civility-poll-graphics-and-slides-april-2019/
Where does this study say that the those persons polled believe us to be “on the edge of a civil war?”
I might be missing something, but it seems as though the questions center on civility in politics, not civil war. Dare I say that these questions are so generalized and lacking specificity that it renders the poll entirely meaningless. It’s seems possible and all together likely that this same poll would have rendered near similar results if take 5, 10, or even 20 years ago. I am old, and I have no memory of politicians being civil – even before the Bork hearings. So, what basis is there for reaching this conclusion?
no basis, just click bait….
Most people do not take the time to check themselves. Probably because, to work properly, such introspection requires isolation and quietness. By asking themselves questions such as: Why am i so angry? Where will this path i am on lead me if i stay on it? and then answering honestly they may find that there is no good or useful purpose behind being herded in a direction not of their own choosing. Everyone has to make a choice in this life and barring some kind of miracle, the clock stops and we find out what is beyond the veil or not.
With nearly tow-thirds of Americans overweight or obese, I doubt there will be a civil war. Most of you are to fat and stupid to shop Walmart. Let alone fight in a civil war. However, if there a few red pilled wight males left, we may stand a chance. After all, they are almost always the conquering race.
I thought Trump was going to be the great deal maker. Relentless hatred from the other side doesn’t make this possible. Just look at the web page for any of the Democrats running for President and i have a hard time seeing why people would support such thinking. Maybe those large cities with their liberal/socialist are what keeps the Democrat party alive.
Do not kid yourself he has made plenty of deals.
Civil war here and in Europe will be the pretext for a military government.
The only thing dumber then the politicians are the people they rule over.
Democracy is a loser. If you want to remain free. Military dictatorship is the way to go.
Ceasar will cross the Rubicon to disband the Senate and Pinochet will shoot all the journalists and bury them in unmarked trenches.
We need a civil war…everywhere, in every nation. Half of the population in all countries is completely retarded (either side, doesn’t matter) and a giant culling is needed. There is no reasoning with them anymore. There is no compromise on either side. Hopefully those with actual morals and beliefs will win that said war otherwise, the degeneracy will become worse and we’ll all be singing the praises of Allah as our wives and daughters are raped (our livestock as well apparently) and our babies chucked into the fires of Moloch love pits.
There is only one way to get civilization back on track and no matter how glorious the thoughts of the 3rd world building their Wakanda – it’s not going to happen. 10,000 years of waiting for it proves that…and sorry, but you can’t bring them all here to share as they don’t give a shit about sharing with you.
Good luck. Stack it deep.
It is not a question of Democrat versus Republican, but a question of right over wrong! When people break the law with impunity and keep getting away with it, when they are not held responsible for their words and are caught lying most of the time. When American laws are no longer respected by our Members of Congress, Judicial system, CIA and FBI nor enforced by them. When anarchy by leaders becomes commonplace, when they decide that they can break up our Constitution to serve their own needs. These needs are not the same needs as the average man/women, when our safety is thrown out the window, when illegals have more rights than our citizens do, something is very wrong. Yes, we will fight to keep our Country safe, our families safe, we will keep them from being exposed to the Sodom and Gomorah that is overtaking the USA!
