The next question if the answer is yes is, with whom? Will we have a second civil war? There’s a contingent out there just salivating over that idea. Will it be with North Korea? Iran? Hell, with Trump it could be anybody, Mexico, Canada, United Kingdom(Trump says who?), France, Germany… You get the idea.
It won’t be Saudi Arabia, UAE, Russia or China. War with those countries would interfere with Trump’s potential deals to put up a new tower or his broker commission from brokering a deal for Russian oil.
For someone making a fuss over others kneeling for the US Flag, there’s tons of irony considering Trump doesn’t give two shits about the US Flag except how he can exploit it. For profit or distraction, it doesn’t matter. It’s just another inanimate object/tool to be used and discarded depending on his need.
Some people will correctly point out that we have been at war for almost 18 years now. Anyone under the age of 21 haven’t know a US not at war. The difference in the next war may very well determine what kind of country/world their children will inherit.
The Parkland Kids and those who have joined them around the country will have a greater impact than just whether sensible gun laws are passed. Their votes could determine whether we go to war or not. There vote may very well determine the future health care in this country. There are many issues the people they help elect will determine. Sensible gun regulations are just one.
We are a divided country, but we don’t have to be a divided party. No candidate is going to check off every box for everybody. That kind of purity test got us here. Yeah the Russians helped, but they exploited our divisions. Are you going to reward their efforts again? I’m human and therefore flawed, so will anyone running for office, so are you. Do you want to be judged by my standards whether or not you’re worthy? I didn’t think so. Hell, I don’t want to be judged by my standards much less yours. Make you best selection of the candidates available. When the primaries decide who the candidate will be, stand with their decision. Quit whining about why your candidate was cheated. (Unless we’re talking about national aka Trump).
War or No War? That is the question. Keep that in mind as you cast your ballot. Keep that in mind when you’re out there canvassing or calling. You can help determine whether there’s a war in our future.
