“Warographics” video on possible American civil war, with my commentary.

First of all, let me say that, while it could’ve been much worse, we do of course see in the “graphics” visual part of this a certain anti-Trump/MAGA bias. While no excuse, I will say in terms of slight mitigation that most of the sources and articles discussing this sort of thing bear that bias, and thus graphic depictions of those articles would likely show it. The text of the narration, on the other hand, is much more balanced, even being restrained in their quotations. (As I said, SLIGHT MITIGATION.)

MY COMMENT POSTED ON VIDEO: “Remember, the STATES. A failure of the federal government does not mean a failure of these governments. So you can have a civil war of a nature somewhere between contiguous regions fighting AND universal anarchy. With a few exceptions (mostly “Blue”), state governments reflect the sentiment of the vast majority of a given state’s territory, and could thus isolate and suppress contrary pockets. So a future American Civil War could readily present itself in a checkerboard pattern, possibly even with some states sitting it out.”

Another “women want it both ways” vid.

Especially considering how men can easily get arrested, fired, or sued if they say the wrong word.
