Is ANTIFA / "trans" violence prelude to a new civil war? like "Bleeding Kansas" | Eastern NC Now

Some are beginning to point to organized acts of violence related to illegal immigration and to militant and violent "transgenders" as a pattern that is similar to the simmering violence in Kansas that preceded the War Between the States, also known as the "Civil War."  One writer even noted that instead of Bleeding Kansas, we now have Bleeding Transas.

ANTIFA is out in force but has now been designated a terrorist organization.  Unfortunately, federal law is not as strong on a domestic terrorist organization as a foreign one.  Since America's ANTIFA is a branch of the international ANTIFA, hopefully it will be re-designated a foreign terrorist organization.  President Trump is now sending troops to defend agaiinst ANTIFA attacks on federal facilities.

There are also far left terrorist groups like the Socialist Rifle Association, which says a third of its claimed 10,000 members are "trans" and whose membership cards feature a portrait of Karl Marx, that are purely domestic.  These also pose a threat.

Meanwhile, investigations are underway of far left oligarchs like Soros for financing left wing terrorism.

(As to why the term "Civil War" is not appropriate to the American conflict of 1861-1865, one only has to look at the definition of a civil war, which involves two domestic sides fighting for overall control of the entire territory.  During 1861-1865, while the north wanted to control the entire territory, the south was only fighting for its own independence, not control of the north.  That made the war a war of independence, not a civil war.  Indeed one of the southern names for the war is The Second American Revolution.  In a true civil war like the English Civil War, the Russian Civil War, or the Spanish Civil War, both sides want to control the whole country.)
