I have a genuine concern that this country has become so polarized
politically that we are on the brink of civil war.


I don't think there's enough polarization for that. Most people are
hopelessly apathetic. Look at the percentage of people that register
to vote. Look at the percentage of registered voters that vote.
Look at the recent debacle in California. Voters coerced into voting for
a guy who they think can fix all their troubles since he was able to do so
in his movies. And on and on. I just don't think there are anywhere
near enough people with the kind of fervor required to take up arms against
each other.
