Reminder for those worried about calls for #CivilWar on social media. There’s never been a civil war fought where the average fighter was morbidly obese & struggled to walk more than a few hundred yards.
The worry with calls for #CivilWar should be increased risk of fringe domestic terrorism in 2021.
The more political leaders talk passively of #CivilWar, the more their followers will advocate for Civil War, and as a result, 1’s & 2’s will find greater justification for terrorist violence. The loud mouths lead the more silent but angry ...to targets.
The terrorism landscape coming out of 2020 looks a lot less like Bin Laden, Zawahiri, Awlaki, Baghdadi and looks a lot more like McVeigh, Rudolph, Harpham, Brevik & Roof
