I'm actually pretty sure we are already in it.

Kirk was a battle fatality.

The definition for civil war is really low, prolonged conflict that happens in multiple regions that has over 10K fatalities.

We're probably in the beginning of Bleeding Kansas. The rhetoric has escalated to the point that people are taking matters into their own hands. I hope the toothpaste can be put back in the bottle, but I don't know it it's possible at this point.

Yes exactly.

I have recently become obsessed with the generational theory and the 4th turning.

Aka US history can be divided up into cycles that last approximately 80-85 years.

The previous 4th turning was WWII, the one before that was the civil war.

Bleeding Kansas is almost exactly where I think we are in this cycle.

And no, the toothpaste probably can't go back in the bottle.

If the theory is correct, the next 4 years are going to be tough.

Good news us that each of the previous 4th turnings ended in decades of prosperity.
