What Would a Second Civil War Look Like? - Jordan Klepper Fingers the Pulse | The Daily Show

The term "Civil War" is getting thrown around a lot these days. Jordan Klepper sat down with Illinois Representative Adam Kinzinger to get a read on how close we actually are to another Civil War, and collected a focus group of conservatives and liberals to figure out what that battle might look like, and who would come out on top. #TDSThowback #DailyShow #JordanKlepper

One of the hallmarks of fascism is a demonization of education, which helps when you don't want your uneducated supporters to know that historically you have lost just about every time you try.

Civil war for what? I'm pretty sure blue would hold the door open so red could leave.

But why are democrats that hate the US. if blue hates this country so much ,Why not leave instead of trying to make it worse?

For real, that's the thing that always gets me. There is never a reason, its just general angst. No one is going to war over general angst.
