So something I’ve picked up on lately listening to people online and around my town. People are genuinely beginning to consider the prospect of civil war after Trump mentioned it the other. What’s odd is that on the surface everyone acts like it won’t ever happened, but interestingly, in private people are contemplating it. I’d say this is honestly the closest since 1865, maybe 1960, that the country is at danger of splitting apart (which I’d be fine with low key). As I keep saying every week, there are only interesting times ahead here in America. We’re just about 1 year out from elections, and this will not be a year forgotten by American history, that is the only certainty.

There isn't gonna be a civil war. At least not because of Trump and his fans. 

I don’t think there will be one, but it is strange that many people seem okay to have one :mumble:. As I said the next year will be a defining moment in my countries history.

Next defense step for Trump's America is to learn the alligators to climb the electrified fence and meet the invaders at half-way! :banana:

 

Can they make a movie out of this?

They already did, I believe a bio-pic called “Dumb and Dumber” was about Trump’s presidency :p

      Not in modern times (believe it has happened back in the 19th century). The Social Democrats were rather close in the mid-30s, but generally it's been the Social Democrats as the largest getting challenged by either Venstre (the old, liberal party) or the Conservatives (though their latest peak was in the 80s). Keep in mind that most Danish governments have been minority governments. The latest government (well, it's still the government until the new one is formed) was the first one since the early 90s and only the 5th since the Second World War.
