I wish the conversation about political violence in the US had more nuance. It's not an all-or-nothing proposition, civil war or civil peace. There's a lot of room between poles that's still dangerous. And something like that — America's Years of Lead — is what concerns me. — PolitiTweet.org

I take @bfwalter's argument that the US is experiencing the conditions that make a civil war more likely very seriously in the piece, because I think those conditions are setting us up for escalated political violence. But I repeatedly say *civil war* isn't likely in the piece. https://t.co/Hz5UqTFQZv — PolitiTweet.org

Addendum: the piece talks about one big reason civil war is unlikely, the strength of US coercive apparatus. But a few other important factors not listed that I want to emphasize: -professional military -extremely high GDP per capita -no recent history of civil war — PolitiTweet.org
