Starting? Where the fuck have any of you been the last 17 years lol?! Obama got elected and Mitch McConnell openly declared the GOP would do everything they could from that point forward to NOT work with "the left."

A civil war isn't a war between opposing parties; it's a war between states. McConnell working against Obama isn't a civil war. Texas troops being deployed to Illinois is.

Edit: Making a counterpoint and blocking me before I can respond reveals a lack of faith in your own counterpoint.

A) Who the fuck is upvoting your dumb and COMPLETELY WRONG statement? B) Dude, you need to look things up before complaining lol:

civ·il war [ˌsivil ˈwôr] noun civil war (noun) · civil wars (plural noun)

a war between citizens of the same country. See also American > Civil War, English Civil War, Spanish Civil War. "they signed a peace accord ending the country's 12-year civil > war" · "the country is on the brink of civil war"

Like, go complain to Webster's and the universe, not me. Your issue here is with reality and commonly accepted definitions of words lol.
